I've had some interest in a high school event. Format would depend on the # of players. I'll get to those later if there is interest.
We have high school members from Warren, New Trier, & Wauconda. Is there any high schoolers out there that would like to participate in a spring event? It would take place after school at a location TBD. 1 round of 18 holes. Sometime during the week in April. Post if you are interested.
I'm not a member, but I'm a sophmore at Joliet Township Central Campus. I'd be intrested...

You would not need to be a member. It would be after school on a weekday somewhere up here in the north burbs. I'm also looking for 4 guys per school. If not, i'd probably adjust the format.
yeah man, i told you this before, but i got all four from warren ready. andy and I are the only club members.
get ready for some typical new trier domination
there is no doubt new trier will walk away with another first/second place highschool tourney victory

i got a feeling warren is coming in suck place, but it still sounds really fun. how's it going to work? combined score, or will there be some kind of doubles set-up?
Will not be doubles. It will be singles. I'd like to see teams of 4 & I have a fun format. If not, I have a backup plan.
sounds good. i figured it'd be singles, but thought i'd check anyway. are we thinking bevier for this?
I'd like to do Adler if possible. Decent location for most people to get to and a fun 9 holer.
alright. i've yet to go there, so i'll have to check it out. are the holes there long, or about the same as bevier?
yeah i can't wait to play with someguys around my own age and see how i stack up. it this like individual and then combined scores? how how would this work?
Ideally here is what i'd like to do.
I want to get 4 teams of 4 players.
Each team would rank players 1 thru 4.
All the # 1's would play together on a card, 2's on a card, 3's on a card, & 4's on a card.
Each group would play 2 rounds of 9 holes at Adler.
All ties in a group would be broke by a sudden death playoff.
Points would be given to each group. 1st-4pts, 2nd-3pts, 3rd-2pts, & 4th-1pt. The team with the most overall points would be the winner. Ties for 1st place overall would be broken by a sudden death playoff. Each team would select a player to represent them in the sudden death.
So far it looks like New Trier & Warren will probably be able to get 4 players. Just need to find 2 more teams. I'll check at Carmel to see if there is any interest. Possibly Adrian Jr in Zion, Todd in Libertyville, & Nick in Wauconda. We'll see what happens.
If the team thing does not work out I have a backup plan that we could include any number of players from any schools. Maybe I could possibly set up 2 dates. One with teams & one as a individual event.
Teams captains
Blaine
Andrew
Give me some dates during the week in April that your team can make it. Find 3 days that would work. What time do you guys get out of school?

Adler is a challenging 9 hole course. They are longer then Beiver & more wooded. It's a good mix of lefty/righty and length.
sounds good brett. we get out of band at about ten after three, so if we bring our discs to school, we should be able to get to the course by 3:30. I'm not sure about the schedules of our other two guys yet, but andy and i are really busy in april with WGI World Championships at the end of the month. We won't be able to do it on the following dates:
04.04
04.06
04.08
04.11
04.13
04.15
04.18
04.20-23
Like I said i don't know when our other guys can do it. I don't think they'll have much conflict after school. I also have drum lessons on fridays that would conflict, but if necessary, I could probably cancel. I think one of our other guys has his on thursdays, not sure. so yeah, I'm pretty busy, but once we get a better of idea of when people can do it, I'll see what i can work around.
This sounds like alot of fun, but i dont know to many kids at libertyville that go out to the course just to play without drinking or smoking, so it could be hard finding a team, but i might beable to put one together. And would all the team members have to be a discontinuum member? i still have to sign up to be a member, but that will be done before this is held.
Todd,
You don't have to be a DISContinuum member to play. Glad to hear you are going to join again though! Let me know if you can find 3 other guys interested. If not i'll do an individual event rather than the team event.
Well if you dont have to be a member i might be able to find some people. Would more then one team per school be aloud?

If we'd get that much interest i'd probably run a full singles event with no teams. That would be a good team.
I'll see how many people from Joliet Central are interested... I am!

believe it or not I also play hackysack quite a bit ;-)
sounds like fun i could try to get some of my friends to play
I'll check Monday at JT Central if anyone else is interested...
fridays work for us, anything else might be a stretch, we have up to 3 teams
Thursdays or Fridays might be a problem here. but you cant make everyone happy so i would probably be able to take of work if it ended up on one of those days.
or you could just quit your job so u can play disc golf all the time.
that would be my advice.
if i dont have a job, my parents dont let me use the car, and if i cant use the car then it makes it very difficult to go and play. so ill keep the job and just take off work when needed

YOU ARE WISE BEYOND YOUR YEARS, OH EDUCATED ONE!
who needs a job when you can sell discs
I need a job to be able to afford discs and tournaments
I am with todd. the only thing that allows me to be a part of discontinuum and buy discs and play in tournaments is my job.
No problem Todd! Quit your job. -----> See the club members section for the rest :lol:.
Just to let you guys know i'm still planning this event. I think instead of a team thing i'm going to open it to any high school students. This will allow more flexibility and more schools.
Sounds good thanks for doin this too

That makes it ALOT easier for me, Brett. I know a few people at my school who play, but they don't seem interested in playing like that. I'm still trying to get a club started at Joliet Township!
ya, that probably works better, just let me know when and where
How does May 8th @ 5:00PM work for everyone?
It would be a singles round of 18 holes for any high school student.
Also, Andy & Blaine, did you know there was a disc golf club at Warren?

yeah, we went to the meeting a week or two ago. didn't look very promising. we'd rather play at bevier after school than the warren course. maybe we'll check it out and see if it'll grow next year. ideally we'd like there to be an actual competitive team, but i think that's pretty far off.
May 8th sounds good to me. Even though it wasnt really up to me but whatever. Thanks alot brett
i think the date'll work for me too. indoor season'll be over, so i'll start to free up a lot.
Count me in. I can't wait to meet some kids that like disc golf as much as i do.
Blaine & Andy,
Did you know Warren had a disc golf club? I found this out today.

I actually found out from our school nurse. Her son plays disc golf and attends Warren. He brought home some information about it. She gave me his contact info & i've exchanged a few e-mails now.
no, my point was you posted the same info two times in the same thread on the same day.

Ah! I didn't think the 1st went thru today. I guess I should have looked ;D
