2007 Illinois Disc Golf Tour

Attached is an initial outline of the 2007 Tour.

Why are Wisconsin and Indiana events on the tour?

IOS#1 is part of the Illinois Open Series, it just happens that we used a border community course for the starter event of the series.

Cummings' event is probably included because its a large draw for IL players?

I'm sure Brett will have all the answers.

[CEValkyrie]

Mirth is correct on both responses.

Brian Cummings runs events in IL and the Homie is one of the larger events in this area. The majority of IL players will be there. It will be part of the Illinois Tour for points.

And if you haven't been to a Homie event, it's definitely worth the trip.  I look forward to playing the courses again only with permanent baskets in place on the East side instead of all the temps!  It's also not that far outside of IL, so inclusion with the Illinois tour is a welcome item

Can we add St. Louis as well then?

I hope to make it to as many events as I can this year, haven't really done more than 5 or so in the past. And no, I haven't been to the Homie, I really haven't made it to any events to the east of us which is a shame.

As creator & dictator of the Illinois Tour I have to say no. If the majority of IL players were going to be participating i'd consider it as a points event. IOS #2 at Lombard will be a points event and Am Nationals qualifer. St. Louis conflicts with this.

IOS #1 @ Kenosha will not be a points event for the Illinois Tour. It's just listed on the page since I help run the IOS.

That's fine. I just wish we had some more tournaments down south here though. Well, I guess you need courses first. Thanks for finally putting this Tour on, hopefully there are more people than me excited about this.

[CEValkyrie]

Well there is Springfield & Hamilton. I read on the PFC forum that there might be a Greater Peoria Open again but I think it's still up in the air.

I would play both Rockford & IL States since those 2 are the biggest events in Illinois.

I am trying to get an event started in Bloomington/Normal as well. We'll see what happens.

[arendow]

I would like to play Rockford, but always have had something conflicting. I have played Anna Page though.

Is the new course in Bloomington good?

The place where we need to have a tournament is Eureka. Phenomenal course.

Rockford has changed dates so that might help.

The new coure in Bloomington is fun to play.

Yea-aahh! (Little John voice), that would just be awesome. I offered my help if they wanted it. Peoria has the best courses in the state and the lack of recent PDGA sanctioned tourneys down there is a bummer; but saying that, I know they are a LOT of work.

Attached is an initial outline of the 2007 Tour. I'm hoping to have this complete by the end of March. All point information and select events will be identified.

Brett, maybe it's just my computer but I don't see a difference between the bolded (tour) and unbolded (non-tour) tournaments. They all look non-bolded to me.

None are currently bold. I've been waiting on Gary to get his events up. I plan to announce points and locations prior to April 1st.

Ah, sorry. I saw the bold thing in the pdf but obviously did not read your post very well!

[Mukey]

LOL! I just really read through the outline & saw that there's a tourney in Summit on 7/22. Hope they groom that course a bit beforehand.

[skipache]

I hope to win the Summit Open

[arendow]

How many do you think will end up being bold?

[CEValkyrie]

Approximately 6 to 7 events.

what is the criteria for an event to make "the tour"
