A specific example is drawn from the Portland Open, where hole 17's par-four layout presents multiple birdie and double bogey opportunities, highlighting the importance of strategy and scoring separation. The conversation touches on the potential benefits of pairing players, including reduced anxiety and increased excitement, as well as the challenges of managing rivalries and pace of play.

i have another reason why i think pairings not just pace of play reason okay but why pairings and disc golf will make it more entertaining now obviously again let me preface for people that don't listen to us every week i understand the reason why they do it you know the reason why we have four people on the card right now is for viewing purposes right and some people will be like oh it's also because you have to second rules whatever that rules can change that stuff like that can change i understand we don't have enough cameras yet but i still want to just discuss this because i don't i still think people think when we have tons of cameras they still like the four card like four people on a card idea yeah for the final round and here's the reason why i think two would be fascinating okay okay whole and we'll just use we'll use portland open as an example hole 17 very difficult par four you can birdie it you can power it or you can take a a bogey or a big number pull 18 at portland open is a par five you can eagle it and you can double bogey it they're both now eagle obviously is probably gonna be harder to do than double like i'm gonna i'm gonna probably go out on the limb and say there'll probably be more doubles on that hole than eagles but the scoring separation on those last two holes matter and i think also the strategy because there's so much ob on 18 like 18 strategy for example if you're trying to birdie it you just throw a like a 500 foot hyzer and then like a 350 foot forehand hyzer and then like a 200 foot up shot birdie boom right that's how you birdie it but you can get risky and try to eagle it but that brings in a potential bogey or double this is why i think pairings matter because you could essentially have someone that starts oh right when it was getting good it froze up am i back your uh your audio's back your video is not all right now you're back you're back someone starts in front of you that's where you're at okay so you could have you could have someone like let's just...
