Someone asked if this event would be recorded; it will be. So if any aces are captured, they will be submitted to discgolftv.com. And DVDs of the event will be available to anyone who wants one. The club picks up the cost on that.

I'll post more information concerning that later... (hopefully on a Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club website.)

do we pay at the tournament or can we pre-register

[Fox Metro Discer]

I am currently working on getting my Paypal account set up to accept preregistraion, and will hopefully have it set up before the new year. I will also be taking checks in the mail as well once I get the prereg set up. Flyers will be going out at that time as well.

To bad the Tournies on the same weekend as The Big Chill.

[Fox Metro Discer]

sorry guys, I found out about the Big Chill after I had set the date with the Ice Bowl coordinators. I was figuring that with no football it would be a great weekend for golf. I know this doesn't help, Neal, but at least the ams can come and play both if they wish. It is so hard to find weekends that do not conflict with something else that is in driving distance. There is always so much going on now. It is like every time you turn around, someone is running a tourney somewhere around. It is a great thing, but at the same time very difficult to cater to everyone's/ wants at the same time.
I'll know better next year, though. I want to watch some of the guys at the Big Chill play!

I am working on getting online payment set up , but it will not allow me to set a dollar amount at this time. As soon as I can get this fixed, you all will know

[stpitner]

do you know what tees everyone will play from for the first and second rounds?

[Younk]

What's for lunch?

[Fox Metro Discer]

Both rounds will be from the short tees

As for lunch, there is still a debate going on with this. I am awaiting the response from some possible food sponsors for the tourney, so it sould vary depending on what kind of bones I get thrown my way, I should know more by the end of next week. I have requests out for italian beef sanwiches, sub sandwiches, and pizza at this time. I am also trying to talk the members of the Fox Metro DGC to make and bring in some chili as well. As for drinks, let me know what you want. I was thinking coffee, soda and water.

I know that it will probably be cold out, but when playing in a tournament, I've noticed a lot of players (at least around here) don't drink a whole lot of pop.  I see a lot more water, gatorade, powerade, that sort of thing.  Hot chocolate maybe?

[Fox Metro Discer]

Good thoughts! I think you are right. Hot chocolate sonds great

Disc Golf Magazine runs a photo contest every year. Some shops that sell discs, carry this magazine. The photo that reads "Honorable Mention: Abelardo Arenas Naperville, Illinois" is from me. The disc in that picture is one of my painted Misfits discs. 

I was already doing one of these discs for the Ice Bowl, to be given away as a prize. So the timing was pretty good. So a similar disc to the one in the picture will be given away at the Ice Bowl.
