About the Club:
Disc Golf Alley Club of Illinois is a new club in the Illinois area with 2007 as their first full year as a club. It is an EXCELLENT club to join. This is the same group that did an awesome job running the 9-Hole Turkey Bowl last year. I joined the club in January, and I am extremely pleased by all that Eric is doing to not only get more people into the game of disc golf but to give players every opportunity to participate in organized, well-run events. You don't have to be a club member in order to participate in this particular event.
Please come on out and show your support for this new club! There are close to 20 members already, and it is growing fast. Members get to participate in multiple weekly leagues, bag tag challenges, and other club-sponsored events!
I found out from Eric that the added basket will have the tee in between the basket for 8 and the tee for 9 with the basket in the middle of the trees behind the baseball field backstop. It should be a really interesting hole.
I encourage you to come on out! It will be a good warmup for the club challenge the following weekend ;)
it sounds frickin awesome, too bad i'll be in arizona >:(

At least that's not *that* bad of a problem lol. Get plenty warm, go check out some spring training games (hopefully that's why you're down there), and have a great time!
Just a note, the field maxes out at FORTY (40) players, so make sure to get in pre-registrations! I wasn't sure if it would be capped at 40 or 50, but with a max of 40 you really want to make sure you reserve your spot!
Dan is playing the Memorial.

warm weather, nice course, tough competition. Dont' blame him.
Look at all the snow melt! Hopefully it will clear out entirely from the course soon and give the area some time to dry out a little bit just in time for the tournament.
I wanted to let everyone know that along with having paperorplasticsports.com represented at the tournament selling merchandise, I will be teaming up with Eric and begin handling the payouts for everyone at this tournament. We're trying our best to have an awesome payout for everyone involved!
We're trying to get a better gauge on what divisions will be represented at this tournament, especially in the Pro, Advanced, and women's divisions. We only need 3 to open the particular division, but I'd appreciate it if you could post, pm, or email me or Eric if you plan on attending this event.
Right now we need 1 more woman to open that division. I have at least one verbal commitment for advanced, but need to know about some more coming out. Eric may have heard from somebody, but I haven't heard from anybody about coming out to play pro.
As far as payouts, we're working our best to try to have close to if not more than a 150% payout to all Am divisions. As part of your entry fee on all divisions, $2 will be donated to the Disc Golf Alley club to cover operating expenses. For pro, the remainder of the cash is added to the pro purse to be paid out to at least the top 1/3rd of the field. There will also be a couple donated CTP's for Pro's. For Am's, we're looking at about a $10 value player pack for women/rec, and a $15 player pack for adv/int. The exact numbers are not final yet, but that's currently where it stands. There will be multiple CTP's for all divisions as well as other goodies.
The more people that come out, the better!
We are looking at acquiring a trophy disc for each division, but we need to know who plans on coming out for each division! INT/REC divisions are already open.
Thanks!
Scott
I plan on going to this event.I would like to play pro if available.

lol, I like that, but I think I would have to have "Emily" throw underhand or something to even out that field. Maybe before each putt you would have to blindfold and spin "Emily" around 6 times lol.
I think Emily usually gets an injury that prevents her from throwing about 1 or 2 holes before the last round ends... :P
Who are the women who are in?

I don't think you would know either one of them... they would play rec if there is no women's division. Neither one has played in an IOS before.

Hey, its non-sanctioned, you can do whatever you want. Change it from Irish to Scottish and everybody can wears Kilts and Emily might go unnoticed.
I was hoping to come and play beautiful and spacious Clark Park but will be otherwise engaged. Have fun guys (and gals).
Just curious, why are you only opening the division if you have 3 players? Is it to pay for a trophy?

Good question. There will be a trophy disc for each division except pro (just confirmed that today), but I guess it's more for payout sake. If there's one player, you already know where you're going to place and how much you're going to get back. Maybe we could do it with two, but when you try to split the divisions up on the playing field so that it's not mixed divisions on the same card, I'd rather just have people play a different division. We're also trying to do this very similar to the rules of a PDGA-sanctioned tournament except this tournament will not have the sanctioning.
PDGA rules don't require a minimum number of players for the TD to offer the division. Unless it is in the new rules for 2007 that we're all pretending don't exist.

Then I stand corrected and I apologize. I don't know why I thought that it was. I think I confused myself because I remember you (Bruce) always mentioning that you won't make a trophy for a disc unless there are pre-registered people for that division. Where I got the 3-person thing I don't know. I don't even want to run into the situation with not even 3 people for a division, so all of you have to come out and play ;) It's really more for preventing mixed division cards and allowing legitimate payout to that division.
Scott-
These are probably the rules that you might have derived your minimum from.
Official Rules
804.06.C Groups shall not be less than three players, except under extenuating circumstances,...
Competition Manual:
2.2.I A Tournament Director may, by giving adequate public notice, restrict the divisions offered. Absent such notice, the director shall offer for competition any division which has four or more players that are eligible and wishing to compete. Tournament Directors may offer divisions with less than four players at their discretion.
You should offer what you think is right for your tournament. I was just curious.

No prob. It was a thought provoking question :)
I know I plan on having a lot of fun here... I'm going to be sitting out and doing all of the fun tournament related duties, but hopefully I get to see a lot of people come on out! We absolutely want to see this field maxed.
One issue that might pop up is parking. There's maybe only 6 or 7 parking spaces right by the tee for hole 1. We're probably going to have 2 of those used for the people running the tournament to make it easier to unload everything. What you can do is go up to the light just beyond the parking area and turn left. I'm fairly certain you can park along one side of the street if not both sides. You would be parking along the baseball field (near hole 8A) and hole 9. It's not a bad walk to tournament central from there. Tournament central is currently planned to be set up on the far side of the tennis courts before you get to the tee for hole 2. That *might* have to get changed depending on the status of the mud, but we'll see.
Also Note: We will have water and some snacks available for purchase at any time throughout the day. For those coming out, would there be any interest in some Gatorade? I know the current forecast says about a high of 32 for the day, mostly sunny, but while it's cold out you can still heat up fast when playing 40 holes of disc golf! We'll probably have some chips and granola bars available as the snacks. I haven't picked any of that up yet to know for sure what will be available.
Pre-registrations for this event would be greatly appreciated to help streamline the process of getting the field together!
I forgot one other thing too, and E-Roc can correct me if I miss something or don't have all of the details. It looks like we might also have one of the sponsors, RoccoVino's, coming out with pizza available to purchase by the slice in between rounds. That's another reason why it's important to pre-register so that we can give them some sort of heads up before the day of the tournament to know how many people we expect to have come out!
I ran an unsanctioned tournament for 111 players last fall and six of them pre-registered! I had more players trying to register five minutes before registration was to close than i had players pre-registered.

I spoke with the owner of RoccoVino's, and she said that it will most likely be too cold for her to come out and sell slices of pizza. However, the Elk Grove location is on the NorthEast corner of Biesterfield and Meacham Roads (About a half a block from Clark Park). I will have about 30 menus on hand set out on one of the tables for anyone who plans on eating lunch there between rounds.
The trophy discs are in the mail, first place for Advanced, Intermediate, Recreational and Women. So if you're a woman thinking, "I don't even know if we're going to have a division," well, you got a trophy! They turned out nice. I'll post pictures later.

I will make sure and mention a Big Thanks to you in the announcement before the 1st round.
How are the numbers looking for this event? Anyone thinking about going that hasn't pre-reg'd? I think I want to get out there and play this weekend and I am tentatively planning on doing so. What is this course like? I've not been out there before.

for you? lots of deuces. the tees are all concrete, and 5 times as big as you ever need them to be. So at least you can have a nice, flat run up. There are some tricky routes to a lot of the holes, and the hole we're adding is pretty tough. If you don't clear the baseball field on your drive you'll find yourself having a tough time getting a 3. The fence will probably be around 250'-275' feet out maybe? I haven't played the hole yet. I just know what it looks like. The hole is about 325'-350'. Wind is a definite factor on this course for many holes, so it may look easy but then wind up to be a little more challenging than you think.
Eric can respond better about the pre-registrations, although we are anticipating a full field. We've had probably at least 15 people verbally say they are going to be there, but I don't know how many of those will show as well as how many that haven't talked to either one of us yet are still planning on going.
There is currently about 2-3" of snow on the ground out there, but I fully anticipate that to all melt with the predicted temperatures for Wed/Thurs. Friday should cool things down out there hopefully enough that it will freeze the ground over and prevent a lot of mud. It will be a little windy and chilly out there Saturday, but it's the usual unpredictable March weather. It's definitely time to start getting out and warming up for this year's season!
I dont' know how many are pre-registered. I know a friend and I are planning on going. If the weather isn't too bad, I think the field will max out, most likely. So, should be fun.
The course is shortish, but is uses the existing trees and bushes and slight elevation changes well to keep it interesting. Definitely room for plenty of dueces (some ace opportunites as well). I've played it three times and it's growing on me.
Eric runs a fun tournament, so I say come on out.
So far, 3 people have pre-registered for Saturday's event. About 30 people have verbally or through e-mail, said they will be there.
With the added hole, I will be capping the field off at 50 players.
if anyone is intrested i wouldnt mine throwin a round or 2 this weekend at clark. let me know

Just as long as it's not on Saturday ;) Or you could come out and join the tournament too, your choice :)
I hope to get trophy pics up tonight, but if Scott beats me too it, that's o.k. too. I have to get them off the camera, sized, cropped, and i've been busy.

Holy cow Bruce did you really out-do yourself with these trophy discs!! They are BEAUTIFUL! We have one for advanced/intermediate/recreational/womens. Advanced and Intermediate will receive a 174g ESP Crush 1st Place trophy disc. Recreational will receive a 172g Star Orc 1st Place trophy disc, and Womens will receive a 150g Star Sidewinder trophy discs. All discs great choices for each division! Man I wish I was playing so that I had a shot at one of these lol.
I'll try to get pictures up tonight, we'll see. I have a lot on my plate as usual to take care of completing.
THANK YOU BRUCE BRAKEL!!
Scott
Just tell me the color green is o.k. It was a custom blended color and I cannot see green, so i really don't know what they look like! :D

oh yeah, it definitely turned out to be the "grass-green" like Kira said. They turned out just fine!
So estimating the time to play this course, do you think that the rounds and the awards will be over by 5, or even better, earlier?
Yeah. Clark Park plays pretty fast. It is flat and does not have disc eating schule. The rounds will move right along.
That's true, there shouldn't be a lot of time looking for discs. There are trees that can eat some discs, but as long as if you're watching you'll be able to find it. Otherwise the disc will usually fall out of the tree.
TROPHY DISCS. Wow. Bruce, amazing.
I only did a quickie crop job, so I apologize for how stinky it looks around the edges.
Again:
Advanced and Intermediate will win an ESP Crush 174g trophy disc.
Recreational will win a Star Orc 172g trophy disc.
Women's will win a Star Sidewinder 150g trophy disc.
Pro's just win cash :)
Disc Sweet!
THANKS BRUCE!
Yea those are very cool! So just to be clear, the person that wins advanced will get just that as the prize or there will be a merch payout as well?
Thanks for the responses on the speed of the course. I'm guessing it's safe to say that we'll be all done by 5 then?
Quote from: stpitner on February 12, 2007, 12:40:09 PM
Payouts and players packs are still being worked out. Payouts are currently set to go out to the top 1/3rd of the field for each division.
Being done by 5 depends on how much time you spend chasing down discs blown away by the wind. >:D

[/quot
Merch Payment in addition to the trophy disc for each of the 4 divisions.
My goal is to get everyone out of there by 4:30 at the latest.
Players pack will be fun money.
I will be closing registration/check-in at 9:00, and starting the players meeting at 9:15.
i hope the wind and snow wind down some before tomorrow as of right now its pretty brutal.
Thanks for the responses, looking forward to tomorrow! See you all then.
For those that live in the city, let me know if you want to carpool. I'm at Damen/Diversey.
oh yeah, there will be great payouts for all divisions :) There better be, I've been spending a lot of time prepping all of the money for player packs and payouts!
Players Packs:
Women's and Rec will receive a mini + $8 "Rob 'em Rewards" dollars for your choice of merchandise. (it's enough for a DX/Pro-D disc).
Advanced and Intermediate will receive a mini + $12 Rob 'em Rewards dollars for your choice of merchandise. (enough for a Pro/Elite-X disc).
We are going to have greater than a 150% total payout for all divisions (including ctp's, player's pack, payouts, other prizes). The payouts for how you place will be determined using the 2007 PDGA payout tables.
Additionally, you will be able to save up your Rob 'em Rewards dollars and use them at any point in the year at future tournaments! They will expire at the end of the year.
There will be a disc selection Innova, Discraft, and Quest. There will also be Innova bags available for purchase (Standard, Deluxe, and 2 tour bags).
For those of you that come out, your feedback about the event will be greatly appreciated!
If someone wants to help me, we can do DISContinuum bag tags as well at the event. Even though I'm not playing I think I'm going to be wrapped up enough in getting other stuff done!
This event turned out to be pretty fun. My second round saved the day. the pizza place was pretty goood too. Ill probably go there again wheni go to play there next. Thanks for the good event Im looking forward to the next one. (Especially since you wisely made it the day Before Oly)
I had a good time at this event. Got to witness Taylor's ace (it must suck knowing the rest of the day is going downhill ;D ). Enjoyed the temp hole, although I didn't play it very well. I was surprised at the high payout given the small size of the field. Much more rec. friendly than Cold Turkey last November. My son took third in rec. at Cold Turkey, with a much larger field and a higher entry fee and got $3 in funny money ::). I don't recall your payout exactly, but I know it was much higher. I think the only thing that may have backfired a bit was salting the tee pads. In hindsight, it would have been better to either clean them off or leave them alone. The salt just turned them into slush. No big deal, just a thought for the future. Thanks!
I agree on the teepads. I slipped way too many times and I probably should have learned my lesson, but I did not. My worst slip was on the alternate and my disc landed over by 7's basket. As far as the payouts, I think that they were a little deep, but on the other hand it was nice that pretty much everyone went home with something since the player's pack was awesome and there were so many CTP's. As for the food gift certificates as part of the payout, I would probably use those as CTP prizes in the future and just bump up the payouts a bit instead. It was nice to see some community support though!

I'm glad to hear that. I did the trophies at pretty close to no profit because Scott told me they would be generous in the payouts and wanted to keep trophy costs down.
A Big Thanks to All who came out on Saturday. Aside from the weather changing frequently throughout the day, and Alicia and I freezing our buns off, I am glad to see that everyone had a good time at "Irish....Luck".
Alicia and I want to mention that we enjoyed meeting a lot of new faces at Clark Park, and hope to see many of you at future tournaments.
Although it did seem that the payouts were a little extreme, I am glad to see that most everyone walked away from there with something, and that everyone was happy about that (except for maybe being a little cold). ;D
I will be working on the results today, and sending them to Wilbur to get posted to illinoisdiscgolf.com.
I will also try and post them here.
Thanks for the feedback!
As for next year's "Irish You the Best of Luck" Tournament, I will be looking to host it at an 18-hole course.
Thanks Again!
Eric "E-Roc" McCluskey
lol, you want payouts not as big? haha, fine with me! :P I wanted to make sure we had at least a 150% payout, and I think once everything is added up we'll be at that level if not even higher.
But hey, it makes you want to play the next event, no? ;)
Attached are the results from the tournament.
Thanks for posting those Eric.
I just want to add context here - it was fairly windy and the tee pads were quite slippery. :-[
Here are unofficial ratings. I fixed the 76/67 error.
I fixed the Younkin error too. I think I must have used David Younker's rating by accident. Stubby finger error.

Haha no I mean not as deep, not less! For example, instead of paying 3 people out of 4 in advanced only pay out to 2 max. It's tough in a 4 person division anyways to get the payouts correct because even paying out 2 people is 50% of the field. But like I said, in a smaller unsanctioned tourney it is nice that everyone can leave with something. The CTP prizes were great!

Payouts were actually strictly determined by the PDGA payout tables. It was set up to pay out to 3 places for 4-5 people playing. Unless I looked at the wrong column... I was calculating the payouts in between the time I received the call to go to the hospital and when I actually left. I may have been a little scatter brained. But for the first time that either Eric or myself have gone to this extreme to get everything coordinated and ready to go, I enjoyed it.
Let's just hope that the ground is snow-free, water-free, and decent temperatures the next time that I have take out all of the discs and put them up for sale lol.
Thanks for running the ratings Bruce, I'll have to compare it to what I use and see if I come up with the same numbers.
Please in no way consider my responses any bit of a complaint. Eric asked for suggestions so I was just passing on my thoughts! :) I had a great time and met some new people, so the goal was accomplished. I have not run a tournament nor have I looked at the PDGA paytables in the past.

Cool thanks Bruce but I think my PDGA player rating is wrong (maybe it's me that's wrong :huh: ^_^ )
Um, I must have got your sister's rating by accident. I'll fix that.
Fixed. This time for sure!
I always run two separate spreadsheets, in order to obtain ratings for each round (as apposed to an average rating for both rounds)....but that's just my picky self putting in my $0.02.
I just ran the software the way it runs. I did not know it would combine the rounds for a tournament rating rather than two round ratings.
E-Rock did a nice job of running this tournament and his enthusiasm showed. I had a really fun time at this event, the putt off between the morning and the afternoon rounds was fun, the people were fun, and having a playoff for 1st place in my 1st tournament as intermediate was fun too.
Not to take anything away from Heath, but if Taylor didn't smash my hand with my TL I think the outcome would have been different ;) jk Taylor, thanks for retrieving my disc from the tree (yeah that's right...tree :rolleyes:)
thanks for doing those ratings bruce that was a pretty cool idea. It gives me hope to think that i may be better than my rating

:( Haha yea that was a bad move on my part. Stopped thinking for a second.
want to know how awesome of a tournament those of you who didn't come out missed out on? Check out these overall payouts:
Pro - 287.5% payout (cash + 2 ctp's)
Advanced - 187.8% payout (trophy, 2 ctp's, gift certificates, and merch)
Intermediate - 151.3% payout (trophy, 2 ctp's, gift certificates, and merch)
Rec - 171% payout (trophy, 2 ctp's, gift certificates, and merch)
Now how's that for a payout??? lol, pretty AWESOME if you ask me. The next tournament on April 28th - "Don't Be Fooled" will not have quite as lavish of a payout ratio as this tournament IS PDGA-Sanctioned and a lot of money has to go towards sanctioning, insurance, course usage, all that fun stuff. But make sure to max out that field on April 28th and we'll be sure to still have a GREAT payout!
