Jason,
If you do half in you better hire Bruce as a consultant. Saturday at Aurora was crazy with the payouts. There were half-ins cashing. There were half-ins cashing & taking prizes instead of cash. Money got bumped to the top. The concept is a good one but very difficult to run properly. I was lost. I held the bags and Bruce told me what to do.
It is simple enough conceptually. If half-ins cash they get half. If they cash in a tie, first you average or split the payouts for the ties, and the give them half of their split. The highest cashing half-in's other half goes to the highest cashing full-in. The second highest half-in to the second highest full in.
I think trophy-only is harder to deal with than 1/2 in.
Brett, I've got an idea to make that process go smoother.
Half in is harder unless you use the calculator. (Did you use it Saturday?) Ties with half-in are a pain in the neck.
Has it been decided which courses are to be used and how many rounds will be played? Let us know.
for those that dont want to play pro in joliet, a doubles in rockford on sunday that weekend
theres also the chains of pain in waukegen on the 26th
if darkside of the disc is happening this year it wont be that weekend
courses used:
highland park shorts and longs
lockport shorts and longs
O0
duain,
skipache (Jason Rose) is TD for darkside.
:P
Chains of Pain will be at Bevier on the 26th, I'm the TD. It will be AM only as I figure all of the pro's would rather go play the Joliet tournament. I forgot about AM's playing pro and not taking cash when I gave the thumbs up to the scheduling, but I'll survive.
I'll post more information about it later - and because I don't want to steal the thread :)

busy weekend, for those that dont want to play pro in joliet, there is a dark side of disc tourney in kirkland on the 25th and a doubles in rockford supposly that weekend not sure what day, they were still figuring it out.
Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club will be hosting a glow tournament at Jericho Lake Park on October 25th also. A thread soon to come.
cool.
hey duain,
jason rose is not the person who posts things on that website, it isnt his desicion what events are posted there or not
Of course, knowing the misinformation is there, Jason could easily contact Wilbur with the correction.
There is already $700 in added cash for this event....
what courses are going to be played?

pre-registration available at www.pdgasignup.com
or with Jason Rose or Tom Matesevac at Homies this weekend
What is the status of the course? Are there short and long concrete/rubber tees?
I talked to Gary Lewis tonight and if everything goes as planned and he gets the baskets back from getting galvanized we will be installing the baskets on Saturday October 11th. So if you or anyone you know is interested in helping install the baskets we will be at Highland Park this Saturday.
Sounds like its going to go***
R1 Lockport
R2 Highland
R3 Highland
R4 Channy
I think Lockport and Channy will be mixed tee's. Not sure about Highland.

this is official as of today
Anyone interested in playing Highland before the Joliet Pro Championships and would like to try and win some money while doing so is welcomed to come out to Highland Park Saturday October 18th for the Joliet Area disc golf league picnic. The Grand Opening of Highland Park will take place around 11:30 and the first round of best shot will take place shortly after.
is there going to be a half in option
bump... Updates ???????? course layout would be great so i can practice the tourney layout
Lockport

Looking at the schedule, if I want to play Highland this weekend I'd better do it before 12 on Saturday or after 2 Sunday to avoid tourney conflicts, correct?
Jason, do you have any other input for Highland on the course layouts to be used? Shorts being red and longs being blue, or what's the scoop?
Why is the J-Town crew not running this event and why is there no flyer on jolietdiscgolf.com?
How much does it cost to play?
What time is check in & Tee off on Saturday?
How many players are registered?
What tees are being played?
Why is the new premier course not being played round 4?
Why are my property taxes being raised?
Why is the Stock Market crashing?
Why am I loosing my hair?
So many unanswered questions >:(
"J-Town Crew" is running the event.
They are using Channy R4 because they have the Pavilion reserved out there. Alson, Channy is a great course as well and I would consider it a "premier" Joliet Area course.

I second that!
Tees at Highland could get messy too, as they're just dirt/grass right now. I've already slipped a few times while throwing a drive out there
So.........what time does registration end Saturday?

Channahon will be long tees except # 9 and 16
registration will be At lockport and end at 8:15
based on high levels of afternoon play at Highland if the weather is good we will:
register at Lockport
R1 Highland
R2 Lockport
R3 Highland
R4 Channahon
I don't understand property taxes, the Stock market, or your physical problems very well but good luck with that...
Seek and destroy isn't a very good post reader and obviously doesn't know "the J-Town crew"
Wait, registration is at one course and first round is elsewhere? Jason can you just post a flyer for this? A lot of questions will be answered a lot easier if there is one set of information available.
Also, what is reg and what is long for Highland? There are 3 sets of tees there. Will the same layout be used both rounds? Thanks buddy.

I am as much J-town crew as you. We must have a lot in common because I live in Lombard as well. Don't underestimate Seek and Destroy at MM.
In Jason's defense, the Lockport course is literally 5 minutes away from Highland, and I think my comment about the tees made him change when they were playing which course
At Highland Long = Blue, Reg = White, Short = Red

yadda yadda yadda, non registered chump
although I gotta give credit for the e-mail address of the first post, this guy obviously doesn't like skipache for some reason
Register at Lockport, drive somewhere else, then come back to Lockport? Why not register at Highland?
I have a question about the Amateur Half-in option that was advertised. If I pay the half-in entry ($35) and I get 4th place worth $150 for example; I will get $75 in merchandise correct? I just want clarification on how you are working this and if you will have merchandise on-hand.

that is correct, gary will have merch
mukey is correct reg is white and long is blue, same layout both rounds
the reason that registration is at Lockport and the first round is highland is because...
1. we wanted to play highland in the morning when it isnt so busy
2. from the start we advertised/planned on registration at Lockport and didn't want to confuse non-connected folks

i never claimed to be part of the J-Town crew but the others running it are
if you have problems with me then just don't come
I will have a good time whether you like me or not
dang gettin hostle, jay towners have no reason to get mad if someone wants to run a tourney using there courses... if you feel so strongly about help out gary lewis and run a tourney... I know this event will be good. jason knows what he is doing.
jayro we are comin this week end bringin 4 people..
How will OB be played at Highland, will you have a printout with all the info? I know some of those wooded holes have that cement path...will it be flagged at all?
This is for me to print at home. Note, this is not official. It's what i've pieced together off this thread and from the PDGA online reg page.

About how many people are registered? I'm contemplating playing with the half in option just to get some experience. Also I want to know if I have to get there before 7 to get a spot if I do decide to play.
you will be fine getting there at 7:15-25
Jason,
What time & where is the player meeting?
I want to get an idea of when/where I need to be. I plan on registering early then heading over to Highland to play the course for the first time. I'll take the consequences of not attending the player meeting if it's at Lockport and RD 1 is still at Highland.

Dana,
Is round 1 still at Highland?
Doesn't sound like it..Just talked to Tom and now it sounds like its Lockport.
Things seemed to go well yesterday. 33 Open players.
I think lead card is Mcinney, Sprague and Coine. Hot at Highland was a 51 or 52. I think -9 was hot at Lockport.
Sprague may have a 1 stroke lead, I think...
Only 2 people shot "under" at Highland this am- Sprague shot 51 and ShawnE shot 53. I'm guessing the wind helped keep the scores up. Maybe Marcottes party, if he had one, helped out as well..
