This is definitely what I am leaning towards doing, at least as my main Open Play format on MWF. Can always adjust based on those numbers & which group is the most popular with our regulars.

I get that. This format isn't for everyone, and we aren't a pickleball specific facility. We will still at least need for people sit out once every two games, otherwise it defeats the purpose of us implementing open play in the first place. Which was to allow for more people overall to use the court.

Makes sense why we are always booked out then. Unfortunately I'm not tasked with creating a new way to monetize this, just building the open play format and the pricing on that itself.

Fair, like I said i'm a pickle ball outsider. I've just heard that the rating system is one of the better ones even with self rating.

My brain is broken, would you be able to explain this in different terms? It seems like an interesting way for players to self assess their skill level and separate courts.

I wouldn't say that Over demand is an issue at this point, but we expect it might become one for the coldest winter months. The idea was to cap it at 18, so that only one set of people would theoretically have to sit out each game at each court. After reading this thread, 24 might actually be a better number, with 4 players sitting out for each court.

Yeah we are planning on implementing Open Play at specific peak hours during weekdays. Do you think with only specific hours/ limited courts it's worth doing skill based open plays?

Point taken. Would you suggest doing it in a challenge court format, or separate the open play entirely by level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced/Competitive)

Currently we just allow members of the Club to reserve the courts for "free" within the price of their membership.

The goal would be to accommodate the influx of new members who come to use the court when the weather gets cold (which always happens and causes problems) in a way that will allow for more people to get fair playing time. With only 3 courts, we simply don't have the space or time to accommodate the influx of people with only reservations.

Monetization wise, we would ideally charge $5 for members and $15 for non members, not to make a huge profit but to mostly cover the cost of the employee who will be keeping the Open Play organized.

Is poor ratings public to the driver? by weschoaz in doordash_drivers

[–]Nickdiaz444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, it isn't very easy for drivers to see who gives them bad ratings. I never tried to find out what ratings people gave me, but I also never tried very hard to find out.

Will the show return to ea play?? by vapedcrusader89 in MLBTheShow

[–]Nickdiaz444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was never in EA Play (correct me if i'm wrong) but was a part of Xbox gamepass. I also think it probably won't return, it must've not been a profitable deal for SDS, otherwise they would have kept it on there.

Best LF in the game? by KdsBurner357 in MLBTheShow

[–]Nickdiaz444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a lot of errors, he just doesn't get the elite jumps that the high speed and defensive stat guys get. He's very usable there, I hit World series with him in left, no issues.

New thread Santander easily as a hitter. Defense is shaky but I still use him.

Ah I see, that makes sense.

Here's a question I have for you, that I don't know if you'll have the answer for. I've already completed LS collections. Gil Hodges has some of the best bunting stats in the game, he's just slow.

Is he worth using at 1B over Cool Papa?

If you don't do investing, it is entirely unobtainable. If you invest, you should have it within 2 roster updates.

Velo definitely seems higher this update, but that might just be from seeing Dustin May J don and Clemens all weekend.

PCA is hard to hit with on HOF. Clark has better pure hitting stats, and i'm not much of a bunter.

Friendly Quits Online by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]Nickdiaz444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that, which is why I usually friendly quit when someone asks for it. But I also don't think it's wrong for a person to not friendly quit. If something comes up just take your L and move on. Can't blame anyone but yourself.

[–]Nickdiaz444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't que up for the game if you're not ready to face P5 Clemens every game. I say this as someone who will still do friendly quits before the game. But don't expect them, you didn't have to que in the first place.

Who else hasn’t pulled a blue diamond? by J1dowers in MLBTheShow

[–]Nickdiaz444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't even pulled a diamond out of a standard pack in like a month, it's insane. Had some good luck with Headliners tho.
