Got them. Thanks!
United States Disc Golf Championship
We are currently looking for 1 regional qualifying event in each of the 8 PDGA regions. Qualifiers need to be PDGA sanctioned, but tier does not matter. We need big tournaments with multiple divisions so that as many people as possible get a chance to qualify.
Which tournaments do you think deserve consideration?
-------------------------------------------------------
This was on good ol' Facebook
Be nice if Illinois had the PDGA Regional 7 spot... :rolleyes:
Of course, Bowling Green, KY. It'd be great if the Adv. men winner won a spot!
Greater Peoria Open, always. The BEST event in Illinois.

I'd be surprised to see a sanctioned event in Peoria this year. I have heard nothing about an A-tier and it seems the PFC BOD isn't interested in running sanctioned events.
I'd bet the GPO will be sanctioned

The Peoria Open does not meet the criteria for the event.
I thought maybe the Milwaukee Open,
have not played in the Mad City Open but heard that was pretty good as well.
I dont think i have played Peroia. Richard Pryor is from there.
Whats the SRO in Wisconsin?

Standing Rocks Open.
I think SRO is a good choice as well. They always have a large number of entrants that are spread out into multiple large divisions.

after the mishap last year, I don't think it will be an A-Tier, but they will have a GPO, if sanctioned, I would be very suprised :o

why is that Bruce? Somebody qualified at the GPO in 2009, so it must meet the criteria.
"We need big tournaments with multiple divisions so that as many people as possible get a chance to qualify."
Traditionally the Peoria Open has limited the number of players and the number of divisions. The 2011 USDGC is not like the USDGCs past. You qualify based on shooting the most above your rating and they want to qualify players from the divisions that the GPO does not offer.
Started my year off in Antioch, Ill yesturday. Had fun at the course. Windy and cold in the front nine. Trees blocked the wind on the back nine, made it livable..
Channahon, Ill is next. Think Rockford, Ill is having the Artic Blast the following Sunday (Feb. 13)..

How many players yesterday Mike?
I believe only 10 showed up.
By lunch they had 2 people triple nine out. (one was a rolled ankle)
Any chance we can get a rough draft of the IL schedule?
I'm hoping to get it out in the next few weeks. My computer at home is jacked up. Mirth man is going to help me fix it.
Ran across this WI non finalized calendar if anyone is interested in it.

Nice! Thanks Brett.
I was just wondering if Rockford was gonna be in the IOSeries? For 2011.. ;D
man, let's hope not!
Looks like a lot of c-tiers in IL this year, and IL state championships is at the same time as am worlds. I hope there is going to be some big tournaments added to that list.
Going to have to travel to play A-tiers.

Definitely a lot of open summer dates in IL still. Hopefully those will get filled.
Trying to work out a tournament in May at what is considered one of the best courses in IL....
Stay tuned!
McNaughton??
Anyone against playing a tourney on Mothers day?
Last year there were only 2 tournaments in the U.S. on Mother's Day, so it seems not many TD's are willing to take that risk.
The day before Mother's Day had a lot of success though. There were tourneys in Geneseo and Saukville that were filled to capacity.
There is already a tourney scheduled the day before Mo.thrs Day AT SHOREWOOD
I highly recommend AGAINST mother's day. When I merched the River Cities Rumble A-Tier in 2007? 2008? the attendance was WAY down, and I had a ton of people walk up to the merch table on Saturday lamenting that they couldn't play because they couldn't commit to anything on mother's day.
Super Bowl Sunday, Mother's Day and Easter seem to be the high holidays in disc golf.
Brett,
Depending on how we do at the Mother Lode... the CCC will be a full B-tier this year for both am and pro.
The Mother Lode is already a full B for both and will be a 2 day event for both...
Thanks,
trotter

awesome guys, thanks alot
trying to use up my vacation days at work. I assume nothing will change, but I probably should ask. will the IOS events be the same format as last year, with Advanced still playing Sundays?
Yes. The IOS events will be MPO/MA2/MA4 on Saturday. All others on Sunday. We should have the new web site online later this week to answer this and other questions.
thanks Mike.
Are there ever going to be any sactioned tournament at the Oaks in Mokena ? They have the couse just sitting there, but there are no signs of any tournaments ever being played there ever again.
Unless the Mokena Park District undergoes a management change, No. Last time someone went down this path the MPD wanted a guaranteed $500/day plus they will not allow cash sales of disc golf merchandise.
wow, thats a really weak schedule for # of tournaments. is it always that way this early?
also, why only 5 IOS's?

Usually the schedule fills in throughout the year. If you are willing to drive a few hours, there will probably be a tournament just about every weekend from April through October. We are actually in a great area for tournament play. Look on the map. If you lived in most other states you'd have less than half the opportunities to play local events. There is a reason that IL amateurs are always at the top of the Amateur points.
You've been spoiled in recent years. It wasn't long ago there was only 1 or 2 IL tournaments on the schedule this early, and only a handful of IL events all year. 5 IOS events is a lot. 9 last year was crazy. That was a huge committment for Scott.

If I can work things out with Mokena and Brett, I'll run Mokena Big D Doubles this year. I finally got my tournament operation out of debt. I'll put up the $500.

If they've changed their policy, we're out of luck. Two years ago, $500 would get you in for one day.
The schedule is lighter partially because I burned myself out last year setting up for 12 tournaments and an ace race. This year I'm anticipating 6 and an ace race. That final number might change, but at the same time it's already freeing up 6 weekends. We need more people to step up and help out behind the scenes in order to make more events happen.
Updated 2 changes of locations.
Deuces Wild
Wild West
Aw, why the Deuces Wild change?
Brett,
Brad and I turned in the paperwork this week for all three Springfield Tourneys...
The Lincoln Penny Toss will be an Alternate Doubles Tourney on July 2nd sanctioned as an XC.

what needs to happen in order for it to happen?
Quote from: smyith on March 09, 2011, 07:30:55 PM
what needs to happen in order for it to happen?
3 items for me. 1. The Village of Libertyville wanted to charge quite a bit more of a course use fee. Double of what I had paid the previous couple of years. I had to negotiate big time to get them to come down last year. 2. It's a fine line on a date. Too early in the year and it's muddy as heck and possibly flooded. Wait a little long and the skeeters just dominate you at Adler. 3. Setting up and tearing down the course is very difficult. I've had some awesome helpers the last couple of years and appreciate all they have done. I'm pretty burnt out and not sure I want to take that task on this year.
Update
Effingham date change.
2 Bloomington/Normal events
Possible Streamwood even
well, it's lookin good. I have 11 confirmed dates in ink already.
"Aw, why the Deuces Wild change?"
I wanted to put a little distance between the Deuces Wild tournament, and Illinois State, which is run two weeks later on one of the same courses. Makes for a less interesting tournament, and also isn't fair to the J-town boys, who are the best thing going down here in Joliet. So, one of the reasons was out of respect for them. The other reason was that I saw very few tournaments in the Oswego/Aurora area, and I thought they'd like at least one more.
I do like running it at West Park and Highland Park though, so maybe I'll bring it back next year, just on a different set of dates.
Quote from: smyith on February 22, 2011, 12:54:00 PM
also, why only 5 IOS's?
We wanted to make the emphasis on quality over quantity. It is also really hard to give up more than 5 weekends over the course of the disc golf season. Never mind the work we do before and after the tournament. The actual weekend is dedicated to running the event. From 6am on Saturday until 8pm on Sunday.
Seven items not listed on the tour document:
5/30 - JTown Disc Golf Club Invitational - C - Joliet
6/5 - Iron Lion Safari - C - Geneseo
6/11 - Lockport Lake Open - C - Lockport
7/16-17 - QC Championships (Not the Rumble) - B - Quad Cities
7/30 - Cross Roads Classic - C (Am) - Effingham
8/21 - Iron Lion Open - C - Quad Cities
9/3 - Hamilton / Wildcat Springs Open - B - Hamilton
Brett, I jumped through all the PDGA hoops on the MMXI Mokena Big D Doubles. I'll be kiting writing a check to Mokena Parks on Monday. Sunday September 11.
