Post Thanksgiving Day Sanctioned Tournament

[discglfr]

Dretzka will likely stay in until after our early December event.  It will probably get pulled shortly after that.  It SHOULD be in next weekend wif you happen to come up.

If it were to get pulled between now and then I'm sure it would get posted on the newest GLDGC thread on the PDGA discussion board but again, it isn't planned until after the winter event there.

Thanks!

Ter

An update for this event:

At this point the event has 17 registrants.  As one can imagine, I'm expecting a huge flurry of registrations to come in during the next week.  Remember this, with online registration we have seen as many as 100 registrants sign up for an event with less than a week to go.  If you know you are coming please pre-register using one of the methods outlined below! 

Right now we have 7 people from WI, 8 from IL, and 1 from MN.  Let's get pre-registered!

With the Am and Pro Howlers in the books I wanted to update this thread about the Cold Turkey event I have going on at Parkside.

It is Saturday, November 25th at UW Parkside .  It is a PDGA Sanctioned C-Tier and we already have the   PDGA list of pre-registered players up.  Currently we have  [color:"red"]  5[/color] divisions represented.  I will also host any other division that wants to attend assuming we get at least 3 participants in that division.  You want to see a Advanced Womens Senior Grandmasters division?  I'll offer it as long as there are 3 people that fit that criteria. 

As always I ask you to please pre-register.  You can do so in 1 of 3 ways. 

1)  Use my webstore:    Take Flight Today

2)  Send a check for the correct amount to my home address. 

3)  Hand it to me in person before Saturday, November 25th. 

Any person that registers that day will incur the $10 day of registration fee.  Money collected from that day of fee will go towards the $200 needed to offset the cost of running the event at Parkside.

Any questions - contact myself as usual.  Terry@prodiscgolfer.com

Ter,

Are the pins in place for the tournament now, or are you going to make some further changes?  Also, any idea whether there will be a round from the long (pro) tees?

[discglfr]

Sergio might be able to chime in a little bit here.  He said he was going to help me with the pin locations and getting them moved.  Long tees will be decided on that day and they will be determined by how many total people we have and how many people in each division.  I can ALMOST promise that Intermediates will NOT play the long tees either round.  The real question is if the pros or advanced will play from the longs or not. 

I think Sergio was going to try and get them moved this weekend?  Is that right Serg?

I need to publicly thank Sergio on here for all the help he's provided thus far!

I've played a few sanctioned events this year that some players in some divisions did not get their scores counted towards their rankings because there weren't enough people to calculate the proper numbers. I know that's one thing that I really enjoy about playing sanctioned events, so I would try and keep that in mind when selecting the different tees for different divisions.

Terry, the answer to your question is, even chimpanzees like funny money once they are tought how to operate the banana vending machine with it!  http://www.hartnell.edu/faculty/tcarbaja/powerpoint/Coon_PPT/Coon_08.ppt#26 

Is your funny money good forever, or until sometime, or good only the day of the tournament? 

A really good anti-counterfeiting thing that Peoria does and I used to do before I bought the brass, is spend the bucks for a notary seal embosser that says Lifetime Disc Sports on it.  Then you can make your funny money good forever and know it is genuine when it comes back.  It is expensive to put your logo on it but not so expensive to just have the words.

What Taylor said. 

I'm still 50/50 on whether I'll be there but my bargaining position has been improving daily.  Jon, can I use the futon Friday night?  I could also grab a winter rated bag and camp in the van.  I know the good commando camping places near UWP!   

[discglfr]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

First off, I'll be keeping the funny money option.  I will likely be giving out $10 to each non professional player.  Due to the size of the event, time constraints, and weather, I'll likely NOT pull out all of my merchandise until the end of the day (sorry).  In a perfect world I'd have someone sit and watch the stuff all day with it on display but that's not going to happen since I plan to play. 

Secondly, it looks like we should have more than enough 'gators' for us to split up the field and the tees.  It is very likely that the Intermediates will play shorts both rounds while I'll probably have the Advanced and Pros play the longs both rounds.  Again that is NOT OFFICIAL but it's just what I'm thinking. 

I really hope to see even more people get registered soon!  I have received a handful of e-mails and phone calls regarding the event and I keep preaching the same thing - get online and get registered or get your check in the mail.  My address is 14781 Hidden Creek Ct, New Berlin, WI 53151 if you really want to snail mail it!

I hope to see all of you there!

BASKETS WILL BE IN THE TOURNAMENT PLACEMENTS TONIGHT.

I was out of town and didn't get a chance to move them this weekend. Terry is on the course as I write this entry. He will call me with any changes that he may want to do. With his permission, I'll post pin placements this evening.

See you guys on Saturday.

[Bruce Brakel]

Terry should have about a dozen dyed Star discs that are objectively better than anything Jaybird is doing:

The weather looks good for this event. This should be a great time and most likely the last time to get points before the end of the year.  I would think that Worlds is going to be huge, so the more points the better.  It is also a nice chance to see all your fellow competitors one more time before the deep freeze sets in around here.

[Bruce Brakel]

The weather forecast is awesome for late November.  Bring beach chairs and suntan lotion!   

Sunshine and patchy clouds. Winds from the NE at 8 mph. High: 47° F

I'm about to pre-register online and I was trying to plot out my directions.  I've only been to the course once so please take a look at my plan and let me know if this will work or if there is a better way.

I'm going to be starting from the Woodfield Mall area (90-NW tollway, and Rt. 53)

I'm going to take Rt.53 to Lake Cook Rd to 94 North ---- or 90 East to 294 North (whichever is better)

From 94 I am going to exit at 12th St (is there an exit there?) and head East

From 12th I am going to Wood Rd and making a left, a left on Outerloop, and then turn in the first parking lot.

Please give me feedback,

Thanks!

12th Street is HWY E. HWY E is Exit 339. Wood Road will be about 5-6 miles from I94. You shouldn't have any problems.

Terry: I have a course closed sign to be posted.

I've driven it a couple of times (and I go to milwaukee all the time).

I would recommend 53 -> 90 E -> 294 N (merge to 94 N) -> exit on Exit 339 (highway E) (right turn onto this road) -> left onto wood st at stop sign -> follow it around (OBEY SPEED LIMIT - I always see someone pulled over) to the second entrance on left (outer loop), parking lot will be on left side.

In the past I've tried 53 -> Palatine Rd -> 94, but it didn't seem to go any faster.  I know you head further south when you're on 90... I guess listen to the traffic report the morning of to hear if 90 is backed up for any reason.
