2004 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

[Jon Brakel]

On the page that shows last year's winners, the link from the player name to his PDGA stats is a nice touch.

AND easy!

Stremwood pictures have been added to the Discontinuum Page.

You can also preregister from the Illinois Open Series. There is a link on the main page of the DISContinuum site.

It rained all day Thursday & Friday nights. We still have 2 weeks for this to dry out. Mirth, could you move this to the Streamwood Page?

[mirth]

Hmm, I can't move just Kyle's post but since I see he's still reading this thread he'll also post that info in the Streamwood thread?

[CEValkyrie]

I know a lot of people have been reading this thread. Just don't want anyone to get scared off from playing this tournament with the course being flooded 2 weeks prior. Many people don't check the date of a post.

Good point Brett. I forgot to look for a Streamwood topic before I posted.
Looks like a fun course. I'm looking forward to the tournament.

I played in a tournament recently with about 60 advanced amateurs.  I have no idea what payouts looked like because I played poorly and finished out of the prizes.  Also, complete payout information was not posted for amateurs.  Anyway, all this got me thinking about what a 60 player payout would look like at an Illinois Open event, so I ran the numbers through the payout charts.

First, at registration you either would have received $15 in funny money or a $10 cash rebate, your choice.  Then the payout would go something like this:

1--185
2--155
3--140
4--130
5--120
6--105
7--100
8---90
9---85
10--80
11--75
12--70
13--65
14--60
15--55
16--55
17--50
18--50
19--45
20--45
21--40
22--35
23--35
24--30
25--30
26--25
27--25

Jon will be doing Sunday payouts and he might use exact dollar payouts rather than rounded to 5's but it would be very similar.

The payout would be in funny money that you could spend immediately on discs, towels, hats, and other stuff, or could accumulate to save up for a Skill-Shot or Chainstar basket.  Tournament stamped Z-plastic would be about $12 a disc, Innova Champion is a little more and fly-dye is a buck or two extra.  The Waterford Junior Girls' colormax fund raising discs are a little more too.

We will have Innova and Discraft discs, and if we don't have what you want at one event, we'll put you on the list to get it for you for the next event.  We will be reloading through out the season and will always be getting fresh merch.  

Also, the funny money will be good at the Bevier Blast in mid-September and will remain good until Jan 1, 2005.  We will make every effort to get you what you want if you let us know.

Some cool stuff we will definately have includes the Cryztal Z-Challengers, Photon UV Challengers and the new Flash.  But I'll have a whole carload of merch plus whatever will fit in the pod!  Discontinuum's Gateway Guy will be selling Gateway for cash but I don't think he is taking funny money.

If I'm pre-registering and mailing a check, who does the check get made out to?

Won't be able to play Streamwood, but planning on playing the next two.

Just my two cents, but kudos to everyone involved on doing the virtual tours of the courses for the IO.  There's a lot of work that goes into doing that, and while it won't replace an actual walk-through of the course, it does help a lot to know what is waiting for you before you get to the course.  

Great job all.

You can always mail me the form and a check. Information is on the website.

I secured a free, indoor place to camp for the Streamwood Starter for my family and myself.  A friend just moved out of his condo so we have an unfurnished place to ourselves just a couple of miles from Jon!

Trophies are coming along.  I've got some T-Rex Monsters dying in the basement.  I'm excited about this.

I walked the Streamwood Shady Oaks course (IOS #1, the Streamwood Starter) today and measured the Pro final 4 safari holes. The course is LUSH, like most courses around here. There are no signs of the earlier flooding. I found a little surprise there from the parks people. All the tees and baskets have been newly chipped!! Elmo has been after them to get some chips down and he called them last week and reminded them that the tournament is just a week away.

The final Pro 4 safari holes will play as follows:

Tee 1 to basket 2: 469 feet
Tee 2 to basket 3: 343 feet
Hole 4 as is: 423 feet
Tee 6 to basket 15: 431 feet

There were a lot of players practicing for the event while I was there and the 7-day forecast looks pretty good for next weekend. See ya there!!!

I'm thinking of playing a round at Streamwood, maybe 2, this Wednesday, 5 pm-ish. I'd rather do that than the Tues doubles and Thursday won't work for me.

Hole 4 as is: 423 feet

did you consider having tee 4 go to 5's basket? There could be an alternate route over the bridge and then there's that OB fence to the left of 5's basket...

That stuff is Jon's call, but I like Damon's idea.  If the scorecard has already been produced it might be too late to change anything.
