McBirdle

About McBirdle

McBirdle is a daily guessing game for professional disc golf, part of the Kendisc site made by Kendel Chopp. Each day sets one mystery player from the pro tour, numbered so you can compare with others, and gives you eight guesses to name them.

You type a player and pick from the roster, and the game lays your guess out as a row across several columns: sponsor, nationality, division, a season average finish and age. Each cell is marked to show whether it matches the mystery player, and numeric columns such as age and average finish show whether the answer is higher or lower, so every guess trims the list of who it could be. After eight guesses the answer is revealed.

The wider Kendisc site runs related disc golf features, including Lines and Par 3 Pick 'em games, a competitor directory and private leagues you can join or create, but McBirdle itself is a quick standalone daily. Playing the daily needs no account, though signing up lets you join leagues and keep a record.

It is free. It suits disc golf fans who follow the pro tour and know players by their sponsors, divisions and results.

How to play McBirdle

1. Type a professional disc golfer's name and pick from the list as your guess.
2. Read the row: sponsor, nationality, division, season average finish and age are each marked for a match or miss.
3. On the numeric columns, use the higher or lower hints to steer your next guess.
4. Keep guessing, narrowing by division and nationality, within eight tries.
5. Name the day's player, then come back tomorrow for a new one.

Tips

• Open with a well-known player so the first row fixes the division and nationality quickly.
• Use the age and average-finish arrows to bracket the field before guessing names at random.
• Think about sponsors: players on the same brand often share divisions and tours, which narrows things fast.
