Watch out other clubs.  Discontinuum will  have one less  albatross raising its scores.  I am leading a St. Patrick's Day bike ride for my bike club.  Sorry to miss all the fun and hijinx at Bevier.

The 2008 DISContinuum Club Challenge is taking place on March 15 at Bevier Park in Waukegan. 

There will be one round of singles in the morning followed by one round of doubles. There are two divisions Lower and Upper.  915 is the cutoff. If you do not have a rating you will be assigned to the upper pool.  The scoring will work the same as last year.

We are looking for a minimum of 10 players to represent a club. This is an event for established clubs who have a website and dues paying members. If you have any questions about whether or not your club qualifies contact the TD.

Scott Pitner of Paper and Plastic Sports will have product on hand.

This is an unsanctioned event. We will have CTPs and we hope to have a traveling club trophy.

The tee off time will be 9:30 AM. Sign up will be from 8:15 AM to 9:00 AM with a players meeting at 9:15 AM.

Any questions ask here. If you are planning on playing please contact me.

hey is a website absolutely nessecary . DWo has was just formed about a week ago and want  to compete but are not as well established and are lacking the funds and techinical knowledge to run a website at this point. Our club really is a new club and not just a group trying to win a throphy. and would love it if u would allow DWO to compete.

The course is in good shape. Brett has got 3 sweet alternate holes planned. We are looking at 21 holes. I am still shocked that Fox Valley won the event last year. Not really shocked, more like amazed. It won't happen again.

With the teeoff being 9:30am I don't think 1:30 is looking good. I would think the earliest the 2nd round would start would be 12:30. Just depends how many people show and play the 21 hole course.

The Disc Golf Alley Club right now is struggling to get the 10 member support.  Right now we're only at 6 confirmed players - and who knows if any of those 6 might wind up backing out.  All 6 confirmed are lower players.  I'll post updates as I hear back from current/former club members.

Looks like it is going to be Fox Valley vs. DISContinuum, and possibly Disc Golf Alley.  It is great to see FVMDGC take this event seriously and bring a big contingent up to Lake County.

The starting times will remain the same.We will be out at the course tomorrow to make sure everything is ready to go.  Scott will have product on hand on Saturday. We will have CTPs. If any one would like to donate CTPs please PM me.

Brett will have CFR discs available for sale. DISContinuum memberships will be available and I would think tha Fox Valley memberships will also be available.

we have 7 people as of right now - and I have to make a phone call on an 8th.  Everybody is still lower heh.  I potentially have a contact to get us enough players, but I'm still not sure.

doesn't help that disc golf alley's bag tag order was delayed and I won't have them in time for the club challenge.  I was going to have them in hand tomorrow, but now I won't have them until probably next wednesday.

Scott, how many of these 7 people are members of either FV or DISC?  Just play for one of the bigger teams.  If you have no upper players, then there is no possible way to get enough points to win.  Lets make it a bigger, more fun competition instead of 10 guys coming out to chuck around while 2 other clubs actually compete for a trophy.

Post by: stpitner on March 14, 2008, 09:51:47 AM
3 out of the 7 are cross-clubs.  Why not represent a club even if we don't win?  Does that lessen the fun?  We'd be competing just the same.  I also don't want to tell the 4 people that oh hey, you have to sign up for one of the other clubs or else you can't play today.  Perhaps if we don't get the 10 will both clubs allow exemptions and then evenly split non cross-club members.  That way they can still play yet are not required to pay to join another club.

I'd still like to throw out there that a club challenge should be October timeframe or something allowing a club to build a membership for that year instead of expecting a large member base in early march.  By the end of the year we were at 40 members (more than half were DGAC members ONLY).  Since then we had a number of members move away.  We have had only one official club function to this point, and our leagues don't even start up until next month to try to attract new people to the club.

If I remeber, this was started last year as a season opener to the tournament scene. A way for the guys that are regularly out playing the tourneys to get together and play a semi competitve round or 2.
Title: Re: 2008 Discontinuum Club Challenge
Post by: Dan Michler on March 14, 2008, 11:43:54 AM
I realize not everybody is super competitive and thats fine.  I would rather it not be semi-competitive though and have everybody really be wanting to win like it mattered atleast a little bit.

I kind of wish we had just a Fox Valley vs. Discontinuum challenge where we each travel to each other's courses every year and compete for a travelling trophy (similar to the Ryder Cup in golf between Europe and the U.S.).  I think over time it would become more competitive.

This way, everybody that comes from etiher club will play for 1 of those 2 clubs and we can have the best competition possible between the 2.  Obviously I think Tom wants the most people to show up as we can get, but what is the difference between Disc Golf Alley bringing half a team or random people showing up last year and playing under the name of a made-up club.  I think the spirit of the tournament is to have clubs competing to win (which to me is the same as 'playing for fun'), not just coming out to play a round of casual golf with half a team which gives you no mathematical chance to win.

And I do think the 3 of you should play for the club you belong to and encourage the other 4 to support either FV or DISC and play for 1 or the other.  I don't think great tournaments that grow year after year would ever be considered 'semi-competitive', but maybe I'm extremely biased on that point.

Obviously I'm not the one making any decisions for this thing, so please so whatever you think is most fun for you.

Dan,

Don't get me wrong, I am all about coming up there to spank some Discontinuum rear, as well as keeping that trophy in our neck of the woods.
I also agree that I do see this club challenge growing to something that down the road, if done right, could turn into a very large ordeal for not just our 2 clubs, but other clubs as well.
However, I also see this as a great tool to get new players to join up for our clubs. A free tourney that is great exposure to what both tourneys (singles) and most leagues (doubles) are really like.

This doesn't have a whole lot with the club challenge, but rather inspired by it, but it would be cool to see some cross-state challenges start to happen.  The best of the clubs from this area (have a qualifier event even if you want), then do a challenge state vs. state.  That would be a cool thing worth some extra effort in prepping and doing some travelling to each states respective area.

That would be cool.

Personally I'd love to see a match-play type tournament, but the format would require multiple days. Just my $0.02.  :)

Maybe Match play could become a part of the Club challenge in the future.  You could score it with 1 pt for each match.  You could have captains for both teams to decide who plays who in the matches.  Still have 1st round singles and 2nd rounds best shot doubles.

To award attendance, for each extra person you have you could make an individual from the other team play against 2 people (not best shot, but still just best score).

Brett, Adrian and I were out working at the course today.  It is going to be wet tomorrow but it is playable. We are setting up a temp basket on hole number four. We expanded the bridge and attempted to move water off the rubber tee pads the best we could. We also set out the three temp tee pads today.

Here is a little something regarding the holes that will be played for those of you familiar with the course: Out of Bounds: On or over main roads. Tennis, basketball courts and parking lots are OB.  Totally surrounded by water is OB.  2M Rule in effect. On holes 1, 5A,  9 and 9C  past the creek is out of bounds. Drop zone in effect on hole 9.  The surrounded by water is for the creek and pond only.

I am with Dan on this, the reason that we created a minimum of 10 players per team is that we are looking for a competitive fun event. This event is also used as a promotional tool for existing disc golf clubs.  One of the reasons to hold it in the spring is to recruit new membership for the upcoming season. Being a free event, I think spending the $10 or $15.00 to join an existing club is money well spent.

There is a team trophy created especially for this event which I hope will stay in Lake County this year. Right now there are a minimum of a dozen CTPs.

See you on the course.

That's a good point. The Joliet guys, for instance, have more than enough talent to compete for the title. I bet they'll want in on this next year. Especially if Mike Holmquist or Jesse Saenz or someone like that organized that group down there.

Tom posted but i'll give a little more information.

Course updates.

The course is wet and muddy in spots. Bring your old shoes, goretex, or seal skins. Changes have been made to keep us dry as possible.

Here is the run down.

Out of Bounds: On or over main roads OB. Tennis, basketball courts and parking lots are OB.  Baseball field OB. Totally surrounded by water is OB (Creeks & Pond). On holes 1, 5A, 5B, 9 and 9C past the creek is out of bounds. Drop zone in effect on Hole 9.  

Hole #1 Creek is very high right now. It will come into play tomorrow if it stays at it's current level. Across the creek is OB.

Hole #4 basket will be moved back. There is 3 to 4 inches of water and slush within the putting circle.

Hole 5A tee pad will be moved back. The current tee is under water. One of the new temporary tee pads will be placed on the paved walking path.
Over the creek is OB.

Hole 5B  tee pad was fixed today using scrap pieces. Over the creek is OB.

Hole 5C tee pad was moved back 10 to 15ft  to higher ground. It's a little uneven but very playable.

Hole 5D  Left of the fairway is very muddy. Keep it straight or right and you are ok.

Hole 5E   The fairway and hill is muddy.

Hole 5F  The fairway and hill is muddy. The right side grass is the best place to be.

Holes 6 thru 9 have snow covered fairways. Clean those shoes  :D.

Hole 6A  Will not be played. The tee is under water.

Hole #8A has a new extension to the bridge. The creek is very high and will add many OB strokes.

Hole #8B The creek is very high and some putts will land in the creek.

Hole #9  Over creek is OB. Creek is very high and will add some OB strokes.

Hole #9A The tee pad is placed east of long #9 basket. The basket placement is the same as the shorter temp hole that has been played in the past. It's a longer anhyzer. If you go right you'll be in the rough.

Hole #9B. Par 4. The tee pad is in the southeast corner of the soccer field. The basket will be placed near  the left field fence. Inside the baseball field is OB. Yards are casual.

Hole #9C  Par 4  The tee pad is placed at the top of the hill at the far northeast side of the park. The basket will be placed near the creek.  On & over Yorkhouse Rd is ob. On the parking lot entrance road and parking lot is OB. The creek will come into play on upshots and putts. Over the creek is OB.

I don't want to write a book here but there were several factors to doing this.

#1 Tom M. volunteered last year to run this event. It woked so he's doing it again.
#2 This time of year was picked since nothing is going on.
#3 A nonsanctioned event is part of the clubs vision
#4 Singles/Doubles. Good mix.

We defended our home turf and evened the score with Fox Valley baby!  Nice work Discontinuum!

Tom Mcmanus ran another smooth, successful, and very fun event today.  I'm not sure on the number, but it was a very good turnout.  Good work Tom and everybody who helped him out which I know included Brett, Adrian Sr., Aaron, and Tyler.  Lets do it again next year.

why wait for next year? November/December doesn't usually have too much going on in this area other than leagues......

Really wanted to make it out for the afternoon round today, ended up just not having the time. Gotta get the club's taxes done before I head out of town!

Just wanted to thank Tom M. for stepping up and running this event again. Fantastic job b-day boy!

Thanks to all that helped in any way!

Thanks to Fox Valley for participating. It looked like we had around 44 to 46 players on the day.

Last, I want to thank Adrian Gutierrez Sr. for constructing the extension to the bridge.

Good times! Thanks for runing things, Tom. It went well, was a lot of fun, and by the time I got home, my butt did not hurt as much from the whoopin you guys gave us. Good thing for the long ride home. Hope the trophy looks good wherever you put it cause you'll be missing it when we take it back next year!

Thanks to everyone who came out and played yesterday. Thanks to Brett, Adrian Sr., Aaron, and Tyler for helping to make this event happen. Thanks to Scott for coming out and having product available for people. Thanks to those of you who donated CTPs.

It was a little hectic in the morning. DISContinuum added 12 new club members,  and as of yesterday we now have 75 club members. I would like to hear from Aaron to find out how many new members Fox Valley added yesterday.  Congrats to Scott for shooting the hot singles round yesterday. Congrats to Alex & Luke for shooting a 49 on that course and in those conditions.  Tom & Allen shot a very respectable 51 the second round.

If anyone has any suggestions regarding format or ideas regarding this event please PM me directly.

A very special thanks to all the Fox Valley members who made the trek up to Waukegan.
