IOS Series Information:

With this being the 50th IOS Event, there will be some special activities. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.
Currently this is what the host stamp is looking like. The center is designed so that it reads iOS50! upside down too!
Very Nice.
I've been working on burning the trophies. This year the trophy design is going to match the stamp logo above. Here's one that I have burned already (btw each trophy has about an hour+ of work put into it by the time I'm done). This one still needs to be oiled.
Great trophy Mike.
That is very cool!

I should have plenty more Blizzard plastic in time for the tourney as well (and the new Star Rancho Roc).
I have updated the course map for the event (link on illinoisopenseries.com (http://illinoisopenseries.com)). A couple changes this year, 13A (short shot up the path) will not be used. But we are going to do two holes on the East side of the tracks. Hole 20 will a 500 ft. toss. Hole 21 will be shorter with a mando. Hole 20 may also have a mando. Still considering it to keep throws well away from the parking lot.
For this event only we are bringing back the final four. The top four players from the MPO division will have a four hole final round. These are special safari holes that we can't normally do. There will be a give away of a custom stamped iOS50! disc to a random spectator watching the final four compete. This giveaway is open to everyone, but the spectator winner must be present at the awards ceremony to claim their prize.
Safari holes are also posted on the course map. If you do practice these special holes, please be considerate of others playing the normal flow of the course.
No reason to leave Illinois the first weekend of June. The IOS is one of the best values you will find anywhere.
Trophies were oiled Monday and are curing out in the garage. I'll post pics in the next day or two.

No reason to travel to Wisconsin when you can play a great course here in Illinois and the ace pot will be around $400. Cha-ching!
Not to mention that this is an Amateur B-Tier event. Player Packs and CTPs are included as a part of every amateur entry fee. Prize values exceed PDGA standards.
Oswego 2012 Course Info Sheet
General:
2m rule is not in effect.
Users of the bike/walking path have the right of way.
Round 1 will be played from the short tees which are concrete.
Round 2 will be played from the long tees which are limestone and marked with flags.
Hole 19 uses a fly pad tee, hole 20 & 21 from the bike path. Same tee used both rounds.
Casual relief from poison ivy. Lie is nearest lie on line of play behind poison ivy.
Hole Specific:
Hole 1: Please spot for the group behind on Hole 19 as they tee off.
Hole 1, 2, 18, 19, and 20: Railroad tracks are out of bounds. The first rail is the OB line. There is a casual relief area covering the gravel rail bed. Mandatory relief must be taken to the edge of the gravel. A throw from the previous lie option is still available for discs that land OB over the tracks.
Hole 3: The fence line is the OB line. Do not retrieve your disc if it lands inside the enclosed fenced area during the round. You will be DQ'd. Discs may be retrieved after round.
Hole 4: The fence line is the OB line. The fence line is extended into the woods. On OB throws from the tee and drop zone only, the next lie shall be from the short tee (aka drop zone). See Hole 3 with regards to enclosed fenced area.
Hole 5 long: Logs are lying in the bottom of the ravine. These may be considered a playing surface if required.
Hole 6: Mando at tree with ribbon on it. Disc must pass to right of tree. Drop Zone is marked with paint.
Hole 13a: No 13A
Hole 15: High grass on either side of the fairway is OB. A painted line marks the edge of the OB area and extends beyond the basket on the right side. The tall bushes near the basket on the left side are in bounds. The short tee is an optional drop zone for OB throws from the long tee.
Hole 16: On/Over paved bike path is OB. In bounds area for hole 15 is OB. Normal relief applies.
Hole 17 short tee: Mando at tree with ribbon on it. Discs must pass to right of tree. Drop Zone is marked.
Hole 17 long tee: No mando when playing from the long tee.
Hole 19: When teeing off, each group must have a spotter out by the path for safety reasons. If a pedestrian/cyclist is hit, you will be DQ'd. Round 1 uses the practice basket. For round 2 the basket is elevated near the short tee for hole 1. The near side of the paved bike path and the path itself are OB. OB discs from tee shots are not retrieved until a player successfully marks a lie inbounds. For OB throws from the tee, the next shot will be from the tee. If a player fails to make it inbounds after two attempts, their third attempt will be from the marked drop zone. From the drop zone and all other lies, normal OB relief applies.
Hole 20: On/Over Path is OB. Creek is casual water (i.e. not OB)
Hole 21: On/Over Path is OB. Mando at tree with ribbon on it. Discs must pass to left of tree. Drop Zone is Marked.
are 20/21 on the parking lot side of the RR tracks?
FYI.... I'm here right now and someone got very angry and sawed off baskets 2, 17, 18. Park district employee was driving around picking them up and I informed him there was a tourney here next week...hopefully they'll get fixed of well need some portables. :-/
Yes 20 & 21 will be east of the RR tracks.
Thanks for the info on the baskets. If the park district does not get them repaired, we will have temps to take care of it.
Does everyone in ADV get a three throw handicap on Conlee and Chapman ? if so Im in

Problem solved. Plans a,b,c and d in effect. Talking with the Park District and we are on track. Recovery of all baskets are had and minimal repair is in order. This is a non issue but any information regarding vandalism would be appreciated.
Check in mail. Adv masters trophey only
Just joined Intermediate Division.
This will be my first Tournament of any kind in DG. Hoping for better than last place :D
i should clarify that $391 is not right for the ace fund rollover. There was no rollover from last year, $391 isn't divisible by 3 (and since it's $3 to get in you know it's not right), and even if it WAS 391 that would mean 130 players got in on the ace fund despite only having 125 total players playing at IOS #49. The correct rollover amount is $291, sorry about pulling a Roger Clemens and misremembering!
Still a good chunk of cash :)
As this is my first event, how do I partake in the Ace fund? Do i put money in at the day of the event?

You'll have the option the morning of, when you register.
Checkin is between 7:30 and 8:30 am. When you checkin you will receive a voucher for $15 that is good for anything that we have in the merch tent. At that time you will also have the option to get in on two side-games. One is the ace fund ($3), the other is a 50/50 CTP ($2). The 50/50 CTP is used to raise money for series trophies given out after the series completes for the year (half is paid out to the CTP winner, half goes to the trophy fund). Both of these are optional. Even if you don't decide to get in on the 50/50 CTP, you will still be eligible for various CTPs for your division.
Awesome. Thanks for the replies guys. Looking forward to Saturday!
Discs are in... start drooling :) I LOVE that it looks like they didn't stamp any discraft branding on these discs. They look even better that way!
note: looks like the stamp is on the bottom of the disc. My wife just opened the box and sent me a couple pics. I'm anxious to get my hands on them tonight :)
That looks sweet. I do like that it is clean of the other branding.
they are ghost stamped... sweeeeeet
Glad we got all of this crap weather out of the way during the week. Looks like great weather for the Fifty!!!
Results are posted. Day #2 tomorrow. More beautiful weather on tap. Unless you are a young pro, you have no reason to not be out there. :-)
What a great day! Maddisen's graduation starts shortly. Its still strange not being at an IOS. Hope everyone has a great day!
We missed you Jon. Results are posted.
Bart Zandstra goes home $540 richer on an ace on a blind hole he has never thrown before. (Hole #8 from the cement tees).
woo, that was fun. It had to rain a smidge on Sunday. what would a tournament be at Oswego without rain? lol. HUGE thanks to Ryan Stilson for hanging around afterwards to help me load up. Most everything stayed dry because of that!
A BIG Thank You to Jon Brakel for the IOS 2011 MA1 point series disc and trophy. These are very cool. I'm going to take the glass trophy to work so I can brag to everyone about how awesome disc golf is.
Whoever is enjoying throwing a STOLEN 176g Orange ESP Buzzz taken from my inventory at Oswego, GRR to you. I hope it finds a lake immediately. Probably a chucker...

You're welcome. I'm glad that you like them!
Just a quick note to let people know that the TD reports have been turned in and the PDGA paid. Results from IOS#50 will be in the next ratings update on July 2.
I'd like to thank the various people that helped out to make this event run smoothly. Whether it was weed whacking the course, staining the tee signs, helping setup on the day of the event, counting cards, spotting, caddying, scoring some free breakfast goodies, bringing in baskets, or spotting for the final four; those little things all help for a great event. I appreciate all that stepped up in big ways and small. Thanks guys.
btw the 10m circles were incorrect and I want to take full responsibility for that. I remeasured my chain last night and it was short by 23". Sorry Blaine for giving you bum tools. It will be correct next time.
If you have suggestions for making next year's event better, I'd love to hear them. Send me a PM while it is still fresh in your mind.
Next event is in Sterling on June 23 & 24. Pre-registration closes Thursday night 6/21 for IOS#51. We are limiting that event to four-somes. Do not get shut out.
