2008 was a HUGE year. It was the biggest IOS  year with an average of 192 players per event. The IOS team has decided to cut back to 4 events and make them PreRegistration only to better serve you. The IOS team thanks you for building up such a great series. We look forward to another great year in 2009. We hoped to keep the A-Tier going but it was not possible this year.  We hope to bring back an A-Tier in the future.

We always have a first time players rules discussion before the tournaments starts. We are running these events to educate new players and promote the game of disc golf.

____________________________________________________________________

TROPHY ONLY

What is trophy only?
You may pay the trophy only entry fee and play the event. You are playing for a trophy only. If you finish in a position that is awarded a trophy you get the trophy. You do not get a payout if you finish in a prize/cash finishing position.

Why play trophy only?
You may play trophy only for several reasons.
1. Tired of not having a chance to finish in a cashing spot at events? Save a few bucks and play trophy only.
2. Want to test the field and move up a division without paying the full fee? Save a few bucks and play trophy only.
3. Want to try to hit an ace when the ace pool rolls over & it's $750.00? Play both days in a division you wouldn't normally play.

Do I get a player pack when I play trophy only?
If you are playing in an amateur division you get a player pack. If you are playing in a pro division you do not get a player pack.
Along with the player pack you also get a chance to shoot for any CTP on the course.

Can I win CTP's?
Yes, you can participate in all the CTP's that are offered to your division.

What is Half In?
"Half-in is for the pro divisions only and it works like this: You can pay half the entry fee.  If you cash you'll get only half of what was posted for your cashing spot.  The other half is paid up to the highest cashing place that got in for full.  Usually that will be first place.  If two half-ins cash, their halves will be paid to the two highest cashing full fee players.  There are complicated rules for less likely scenarios but it comes down to a couple of simple ideas:  the money never goes below the cash line -- if you're out of the cash, nothing is bumping down and you can go home.  The half-ins never collect more than half unless absolute weirdness occurs and every cashing player is half-in.  All of the cash gets paid out, except the deduction for the PDGA fee."

___________________________________________________________________


SERIES POINTS

This series is set up for fun and competition. Overall champions win a trophy and bragging rights. If you play any day of the 2009 Illinois Open Series you are automatically entered into the series. It costs no extra fee to enter the series. There will be no deductions from tournament payouts to pay for overall series champion trophies. See trophy payouts below.

Points only count in the division in which they are earned. For example, if Bruce plays Advanced at the first event and receives 12 points then plays advanced masters at the next event and earns 12 points, he does not have a total of 24 points. He would have 12 points in advanced and 12 points in advanced masters.

Participants will be awarded one point for each tournament entered and one point for each player they beat in their division.

A player who DNFs (Does Not Finish), will receive 0 (zero) points for that tournament.

Overall points will be calculated from best 4 of 4 events.

Any ties for first place at the end of the series will result in a sudden death playoff at IOS #4 @ Round Lake, IL. A player who is tied for first but is not present automatically loses the playoff.


OVERALL SERIES TROPHIES
In 2009, some of the larger divisions will have overall series champion trophies for places 1st thru 3rd. These are noted below. *These are subject to change depending on participation of each divisions.*
Junior<13 (1)

____________________________________________________________________

SERIES ACE POOL

Ace Pool is open all day.

Multiple aces are split.

All ace pools that are not hit will rollover to the next day or event.

We may cap the ace as it grows during the year.

If there is money remaining at the end of the series that money will be rolled over to 2010.

____________________________________________________________________

BRASS CASH

A NEW SYSTEM WILL BE USED FOR 2009.

Brass Cash is brass funny money. EXPIRED 12/31/08

Brass Cash is handed out at events to amateur players as their player pack.

Brass Cash is used to payout all amateur division winnings.

Brass cash is used to purchase any item from the merchandise table.

Brass Cash may be spent that day or saved to spend at any other Illinois Open Series event.

If there is merchandise that you want but is not on the table, talk to Bruce Brakel and he will try to accommodate your disc golf addiction. Bruce can get pretty much anything you would want. You can arrange to pick it up at the next event. We want you to walk away from our events with merchandise you want.

____________________________________________________________________

PAYOUTS

PDGA charts will be followed for payouts to all divisions.

Brass Cash is paid out to all amateur divisions except Juniors. Juniors get a
$15.00 player pack and play for a trophy only.

All Pro's play for cash.
 
Payout Policy: Cash and prizes, including CTPs, not claimed during the awards
ceremony are donated to the tournament process, unless other arrangements have been made with the TD that day.

Event trophies are hand made or dyed trophy discs. They are quite simplistic and represent what place you finish if you win one. This is done to keep the payouts fatter instead of purchasing more expensive trophies that are just as lame and weaken the payouts.

At every tournament there is a Discraft CTP on hole #1. You must throw a Discraft disc to win this CTP.

HISTORY OF THE IOS

The series started in 2003 as a single event. The event was held at Fairfield Park in Round Lake on August 10, 2003. 95 players attended this one day event. http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_...urnID=3641#Open (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=3641#Open)
Approximately 15 players had to be turned away. We then realized that PDGA events are in high demand in this area.

We're working on it but the decision is up to the Am Nats people and pretty much out of our hands. I have talked to the new guy and am trying to sell him on the idea.

I have not quite updated everything on that thread. There has been some discussion to combine a few holes to knock it down to 2 rounds of 24 but all of that information will be released on the course information thread. Can't wait!

[sarcasm]Here's some exciting and controversial news for the 2009 Series.[/sarcasm]  We're moving Pro Grand Master to Saturday.  So saturday will be MPO, MPG, MA2, MA4 and Sunday will be All Others. 

I have a poll going in another IOS thread about what kind of CFR you'd want for CFR discs.  We're going to do some fundraising for our 2010 A-tier in 2009.  I have a couple of good InnColor ideas.  But if the polling favors a Discraft model, I'm open to that too.

So, moving Pro Grand Master to Saturday was pretty awesome.   ;D

My artwork theme this year is, "Bat for average.  Don't swing for the fences." 

Swinging for the fences last year, the Labyrinth sold well, the Aztec Sun Dude did fine, the Get Out of Schule Free was popular and the Cruiser was a big strike out. 

I was just trying to advance the runners and maybe get on base with the IOS 1 artwork and it worked.  I'm going for something equally bland with the IOS 2 artwork.  Diana saw it as a crystal ball thing but I was just going for a longitude/lattitude thing with the text warped to give a spherical kind of presentation.  Something balanced and symetrical.  Radial symetry will probably define all my stamps this year.

a crystal ball foreseeing a basket would be neat.

Diana had that idea after seeing what I had done.  I think I can do it.  I told her i thought that concept would be a home run.  It has been done before.  Didn't someone do that for the Discontinuum stamp contest?

Can u play 2 different divisions on saturday and sunday (for instance intermediate and advanced)?  Do you have to play 1 of them trophy only, or can u play them both regular?

You can play different divisions.  You can play them regular or trophy-only as you prefer.

You can play any division you are rated for. It's your choice for Trophy only or regular fee.

Welll, Novice is wide open.  Kira has already moved up.  Stan will certainly move up after playing nearly 900 golf last weekend.  I will miss IOS 3 as I am out of town. I doubt Scott will play IOS 3 as he is hawking his wares at the event and Benton has already moved up.  It could be that there are 5 names listed and the winner is not on the list.

yeah, unfortunately a good chance that I will not play Sinnissippi because I'm the only other one that remotely knows my entire system is my wife and will be on the verge of giving birth.  I'm definitely going to be at Round Lake contending for one of the 5 spots, but it will be interesting to see what happens after the July rating update as well.  Some players that bumped up might bump back down and contend at Fairfield.

It's anybody's game in novice :)

Ignore this post, thought I was logged in and was not sorry.... However, I do have a question that I would like to bring to the right persons attention.  I have played in all three IOS' so far, and after crystal lake, had accumulated 23 points, however, on the current points list after sinnissippi, I only have the 26 that I received at IOS #3, and no points for IOS #2 and #3, so wondering if theres a way to take a look at that.  Thanks.

Sorry, Mike, looks like I rushed through the update after Sterling.  You should have 49 points.  Look for an update in the next couple days.

I don't know if there is a grammatically correct way to ask that question unless you ask it in French! 

If they are not correct on the print outs we have at the last IOS, we'll correct it manually.

I think the bigger issue is the NCAA violation Point fixing is a very serious issue.  You could be looking at jail time, a lifetime ban and a loss of college eligibility.  Even if you are able to remedy those pesky grammatical issues you will still be confronted by the ethical and legal problems that remain.  Now you have two reasons why you can't go to college. Tell your mom that you are going pro and don't need to bother with school any more..*

Pay no attention to my bad punctuation and grammer because as long as you understand me then who cares.

Anyway, point fixing?  Me and my brother are duplicated.  Apparently an imposter Steven Jacobs was a different one than the one at IOS#2??

Scores should be up in a bit. Groups were walking off the course at noon. 2 hr 15 minutes rounds.

If you play tomorrow i'd suggest getting there early and checking out hole 11A. You should come up with a game plan. From the groups I watched play during my time around there hole I saw scores range from 2 to 7.
