2ND ANNUAL BEVIER BLAST

[CEValkyrie]

Saturday September 14th, 2002



     Club members[-- It is very important that you keep this date open & participate. We only had 12 club members at the last tournament.

     I've started e-mailing about this tournament. Can someone go to www.discgolf.com & get e-mail addresses from Wisconsin. I got these cities done already. Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, & New Berlin. I also got every e-mail from Illinois. This is over 160 e-mail addresses. Let's get 50+ @ this tournament!

I say string. Its relatively cheap & visible enough to everyone involved. I think the parks would be more willing to let us drive some stakes into the ground than paint lines on the grass... plus the string would appear more 'straight.'

[mirth]

That is Awesome!!!!! Maybe she can help me shorten my drives... :)



Speaking of guest appearances.... what about the Tourist guy? Any news on a plastic vendor?

[mirth]

Again, I ask what is the status of a plastic vendor at the event? Do we have the Tourist guy? Do we need to find somebody else??

[mirth]

I will donate the use of my M14 for the blast, plus weedwhacking skillz and anything else it takes to get the job done.



I also could probably work late some night and print up scorecards, hell - I'll fire off Excel and start working on some! :D

[mirth]

Okay, this was created using Excel XP, however anyone using Excel 2000 and maybe even 97 should be able to open it without incident.



Let me know if you have suggestions on anything to change, add, etc. This is the product of about 10 minutes...

[mirth]

I'm sure that if JoJo plays (almost guaranteed provided he gets off of work - ask him yourself @ leagues) he will be Advanced.



He doesn't have web or email access at home (actually, I'm not sure if he does at all anywhere), so he doesn't see this stuff.

[mirth]

Aight, here's the new card with the suggestions Jim made.



Any other modifications? I figure I'll wait until a couple days before the event before printing, however, any idea how many we'll need?

[mirth]

Indeed! Weird. Here it is. Obviously, the text can be edited for the other rounds and such.



Ballpark, how many do you think we'll need?



Since the damn BB won't let me upload a new card, here's a link to it:

[mirth]

Odd, opened up just fine for me.



Must be because I use a PC!  :p



Okay, sure. 10 for each round. That includes the recreationals?

[mirth]

Played Fink park again today during lunch... The flyer that had been taped to the back of the first tee sign and was still there yesterday afternoon is now missing.



I would have replaced it had I had a flyer and tape...

[mirth]

I say 9 from the 'crete. Especially if you're playing for money, a CTP is like pulling a slot machine - you may or may not hit the jackpot. A tiebreaker round seems the fairest to all.

[mirth]

And I think the tie breaker should be the same for any of the money positions.

[mirth]

Of course! Those are the prize-payout positions.

[mirth]

Last I heard, our fearless president had a call into WPD to do some sprucing up of the course before the blast, including mowing back there. If its as bad as you say, its gonna take a loooong time with weedwhackers to get the grass to an acceptable height.

I'm happy and willing to devote myself & donate gas and string from my trimmer to mow that down on the 8th.



Of course, if anyone had a DR Trimmer or similar that would be muuch better.... (hint, hint)



Jim - heard back from Mike Trigg at all?

[mirth]

As far as how many people we can have w/o needing to add more holes, I purposely made the scorecards with six player lines in case something like that happens. With six players per hole, you get a max of 84 on 14 holes.



I agree that a much nicer, permanent message board is needed at Bevier. Maybe the park department will agree to that for the new year.

[mirth]

Nevermind on the CTP questions, called Jim & got the answer myself. We will have two CTPs during rounds three and four, for the same holes. One will be for the recs, the other for the competitives.

[mirth]

Curious about CTPs... Will there be a separate CTP each round for each division, a separate CTP for competetive and rec, or just one CTP per round regardless of division?

I'm making up the scorecards now & that question popped into my mind.

[mirth]

Thats a good question about CR. I don't really need to replace anything, but I did want to pick up some new plastic (hopefully) before the event. Jim, can you confirm with them what time they will be @ the park? I'm sure they'd make plenty of sales before we start and between all the rounds (not to mention after the tourney when people will have new found cash burning a hole in their pocket...)

[mirth]

This was discussed previously in this thread, but we can bring it to the most recent page...

Myself - M14

Jim - Portable Mach 2(?)

Chud - M14, I believe



Uhm..... I think someone else was supposed to bring a SkillShot, but that still leaves us short at least two, if not three baskets just to complete the course. Do we really want to scramble to find a fourth just in case we need it? I say make a couple fivesomes before adding another hole. It'll go slow enough as it is if we have a group on every hole.
