I played this tournament in the fall of 2005. This course is awesome with some major elevation. It is very demanding and very long. It is ran professionally and there are some fun games at the end of each day. There is free food at the tent all day as well. If you get the chance go play this event!

There have been quite a few others from our area attend. Got any thoughts on this event?

This might be a dumb question, if you play trophy-only advanced that day and happen to make top 20%, is that ok? or do you have to pay for full advanced and make the 20% to be considered.

It's a good question. Yes, you would qualify.

Also, you must be a PDGA member as well.

Is there a trophy only option for the pro division as well? I may consider that for the USDGC qualifying event if that is the case.

[Bruce Brakel]

Yes, and the trophy-only for the pro division is pretty cheap, $15, minus $5 if you pre-register.

*weeps* I'll be in Florida during AM Nationals (and I'm from Detroit) *weeps*

[Bruce Brakel]

I think on this board the proper coding for that is

[emotion=weeping] I threw my First Run Buzz into the lake. [/emotion]

This is just a reminder that Lombard is an Am Nationals Qualifier. If you get the chance to play do not pass up the opportunity. If you've played this event can you post here about your experience?

I played the event in 2005.  The Toboggan course is definitely one of the premier courses you will ever play.  Constant HUGE elevation change, demanding placement shots, and distance are all big elements.  Its one of the most fun, competitive events I've played and would recommend playing it if you are looking for the ultimate disc golf experience.  They really take care of the amateur players more at this event than any other.

Mostly I liked the tourney cuz I get hungry alot and they had a constant supply of free food at tourney central and on the course throughout the 3 days.

Please make sure to feed Michler you don't want to see him pass out. It is not a pretty sight.

Hey Mirth or Brett,

Can you please switch me from IOS2 to IOS3.  I won't be able to make IOS2 due to a wedding.  Damn weddings always get in the way of disc golf!

I still owe you the adv fee minus $10.

Thanks.

[Bruce Brakel]

I've got permission to use [what I think is] some really cool artwork for custom discs for  IOS #2 or #3.  For the other we might use some artwork we're getting through fivetone.com, but I'm still waiting to hear on that.  Anyway, what's good to go is a Romulan warbird.  Kelsey and I need to clean it up just a little. 

[mirth]

Doug - I got you covered.

[DougEDawg]

thanks, Mirth.

[djchill]

I was wondering if you would have crystal buzzes for ios 2

[Bruce Brakel]

I ordered Cryztal Buzzzes for IOS #2.  Cryztal, FLX, X and D.  I should be fully Buzzzed for IOS #2.  I also ordered three cubes of Innova stuff.  I'll have more stuff than I can put out! 

[Dan Michler]

good, now there will be somethign to spend the discraft dollars on.  u should get more ESP and FLX surges too.

[Bruce Brakel]

Got the Surges, I think.  Don't have any of them yet.  I'll check on the order and on my discs in stock to be sure. 

[discmonkey]

I'd take a bunch of 177+ FLX Buzzz's off your hands if you have them.

[DiscGolfSchodt]

Bruce do you have any FLX challengers?
