This could be a very successful tournament for us. I see a possibility of 40+ players at this point. Lots of club members on the list & possibility of other showing up is good.

Pro- Shawn & Beast?

Adv- Bill, Jojo, Chud?

Am- Brandon, Carl, Matt, Barry, & others from past tournaments?

Rec- Rene, Bicente, & others from past tournaments?

Female- Anyone have girlfriends or wives that play?

GREAT NEWS!! JIM contacted Chain Reaction Discs out of Milwaukee, WI. They will be selling discs at the Bevier Blast. The big yellow van will be loaded with sweets discs.

[CEValkyrie]

Sweet!

Another note for the Blast: Do we have an official tie breaker for first place? What sort of playoff do we have if any?

[CEValkyrie]

Fellas! We've got some work to do if we plan on using the alternate hole behind #8. I went back there today & the grass is over 6 feet tall. I am 6 feet tall & I could barely see over it. There is somewhat of a path left but it needs some work. Spotters for this hole would be great. I have a feeling the Rec & Ams may have some big problems. I suggest that we plan on staying after best shot on the 8th to do some work. Anyone game? A garbage pickup would help as well.

[CEValkyrie]

Bill said he would help as well. He has a trimmer. So with Bill, Mirth, & Me, we could do some damage!

[CEValkyrie]

Jim,

     How did the meeting with Trigg go? Also, any predictions on how many will be at the blast. My guess is 52!!

[CEValkyrie]

Awesome! I am also pumped about the Blast. We better prepare for 60+. The word is out & who knows. Do we have any other decent portable baskets? Maybe we could add another hole if that many end up playing. If we get too many what do we do? I figure if we are playing 14 holes with 4 players per hole, we could easily accomodate 56.  Better too many than too little though. That sounds great from Trigg. They always get the park looking nice. That takes care of #9 under the power lines. Really we could get the weed whacking done on Sunday after leagues. I hope WPD realizes how much the club is growing & that more & more people are playing disc golf @ Bevier. I think a NICE bulletin board near #1 is a high priority right now. There are a lot of first time players. It would be nice to put maps out & our club info.

[CEValkyrie]

On page two of this post, I have a list of players that have either pre-registered, told me, or I thought there would be a good possibility that they would play. So far there are 42 on that list. If you know someone who is for surely not going to play, let me know.

[CEValkyrie]

Saw 2 guys palying @ Bevier Sunday that are playing at the Blast. I played with 1 of them at the B. Grove Tournament. Hopefully they'll bring more. They play at Streamwood & they get around 20 at their leagues.

Holes #7 & #8 have been trimmed. The paths are really clear.

On Friday, i'm going to mark all the alternates with orange flags & paint lines for the tee area. I got 2 cases of pop today.

Score Cards are taken care of. (PENS?)

Score Board is done.

Alternate holes are measured & marked.

Someone needs to put up signs.

The pay schedule is done.

Hopefully the park district takes care of the mowing & trimming on alternate A behind #8. If not we aren't going to be able to play that hole.

I'll be out at Bevier Friday around 2:15PM if anyone wants to join me.

Anything else we need to take care of.

Going to play on Thursday night if anyone wants to practice.

[CEValkyrie]

COOL FROG! I think we've seen you guys out at Bevier a few times this summer. Welcome aboard & we'll see you Saturday!

[CEValkyrie]

The alternates are going to tough. I did not throw A today. Did not want to lose a disc in the rough. B from the long position is a challenge. It is a nice anhyzer shot but fairly long. Severe rough to left & right if you miss. The short tee is almost identical to #8. Straight shot & about the same distance. C will be interesting. From the long position the little elevation in front of the tee may snag a few discs if you try to keep it low. If you shoot high you have a good chance you will carry into the stream on #9. I'm staying way right. The short position is not a hard shot but if you miss left you will be in trouble. D from the long is going to be tough to duece. It's not that tough of a hole but the distance will take away a lot of dueces. I didn't come close with any of my drives. The pin is going to be fairly close to the center field fence on the baseball diamond. I'm sure a few will end up ob. The short is very 2able. E from both positions are very 2able. Nice hyzer hole around the left field fence of the baseball field. F, if played is a nice hole. Too hard to describe. It is along Yorkhouse through the trees.

[CEValkyrie]

I'm going to have to adjust my prediction for the blast. I'm going to guess 63.

[CEValkyrie]

I'll be out @ Bevier Thursday & Friday. I'm going to do some more weed whacking & clean up work. I'm going to practice also. Anyone going to be around?

Randomly Selected Disc Golf Rule of the Moment:

TIES 804.07

A. If there is a tie at the level of a cut, all players at that level shall advance.



B. Between rounds when the groups are being reset, tied positions shall be broken. The player with the lowest score in the most recent round shall have the highest ranking when the scorecards/positions are reset. In the event of low score ties, the ties shall be broken by the director through any consistently applied manner.



C. Final ties for first place must be broken by sudden death play. Sudden death play shall begin with hole number one unless a different hole is designated by the director prior to the start of the tournament. Final ties for other ranks shall be officially recorded as ties. Prize money distribution to tied players (other than for first place) shall be determined by adding the total money allocated to the number of positions represented by the tied players and dividing that by the number of players tied. Trophy distribution for ties may be determined by sudden death play or by any related disc golf skill event determined by the director.

Who is bringing their baskets to the Blast? So right now we have 13 holes planned for Saturday. That means we need 4 baskets. If we end up adding another we need another basket. I also thought if we could find another basket we could add another alternate. This would be a total of 15 holes & we could accomodate 60 players w/ 4 per hole.

[CEValkyrie]

I will @ Bevier today & Friday around 2PM both days. If my green explorer will be in the lot I am there.

[CEValkyrie]

Saw a couple from Crystal Lake that said they would be there Saturday.

[CEValkyrie]

Mirth,

       I just got off the phone with Jim. He talked to M. Trigg today & they said they were going to take care of the area behind #8. If not we have some quality workers on the way. You, Myk, Me, Bill, & a special reinforcement has been called up. This guy gets the shit done! I agree this tournament is going to be a success. Let's make it great so people come back.

Here is what I have to get done tomorrow.

1. Mark & Flag all the alternate tees.

2. With chalk write Disc Golf Tournament Today; Watch for Flying Disc, on the walking path.

3. Weed Whacking

4. Garbage pickup on #7 & #9

Should be a fun filled day. Jim said he is going to be hanging signs @ 6:30AM on Saturday. I'm planning on getting there around 7 to help put up the portables & get other things ready.

[CEValkyrie]

30% chance of showers Saturday morning increasing to 50% in the afternoon.

Frog Man, I figured with a name like that, you would be able to retrieve a ton of discs out of the water with your abilities. Yeah, i'll bring my rake & VanMaster has a big ass stick. I'll be out around 7:00AM. The course is ready to go. All we need to do is get the baskets set up. All alternates have been marked with flags & spray painted lines. Alternate A behind #8 is looking great. The park district did some good work today. So did Myk, Keith, Mirth, Shawn, Angela & Bill. Looks like Chain Reaction Discs will be out early selling plastic. We will also have to set up Camp Bevier when we get there. I'm sure Jim will have a lot done by 7AM. I think he is getting there around 6AM. Saw 2 more guys today from Kenosha that weren't preregistered. They are going to play. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE WEATHER. FORECAST CHANGED. CLOUDY 78, 6-8MPH WINDS, NO RAIN TILL 6pm. HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
