2nd Annual Jericho Lake Ice Bowl

[Fox Metro Discer]

The date for the 2nd Jericho Lake Ice Bowl is set for Saturday, January 12th.
The event will pretty much be the same except it will hopefully be a litter bit bigger and more organized. Same format and once again CTP's on every hole.
More info to come

sanctioned?

[Fox Metro Discer]

It is going to be discussed at the officers meeting tonite.

[djchill]

i hope it sanctioned

[Fox Metro Discer]

I am currently looking into what will be needed to do so. It would the first sanctioned tourney I have run so I need to do some research on how to do so first and see if it is plausible.

I'm about to do my 47th. I'm available for questions.

[Bruce Brakel]

I've done a few without you so i must be in my 50s.

I was mostly wondering about the tier of the event. Wether I should make it a C tier or the new Competition endowment thing. Only thing is that there is no info on this new tier. I have contaced the PDGA to get some more info on this. Cost is another thing as well. I would like to keep costs down and the charitable donation as large as possible without having to increase the fees for someone to come out and freeze their butts off in order to play this tourney.

C tier is probably the best way to go.  Whatever the new format that replaces D-tier may not be available if a sanctioned tournament has been run there before.

It's tough having to juggle all of these numbers!

Personally I would rather give the money to charity since it's a charity event. The PDGA should really have a charity tournament option...

[pickax]

Now there is a good idea.

[mirth]

seeing how the pdga IS a charity (501c.3) any sanctioned event is charitable!

[Chainmeister]

Yeah. Most Ice Bowls are charity events.  Its nice that every once in a while "giving back" is a good thing rather than a bad thing on the course.

[Fox Metro Discer]

I email David Gentry today about the new Competition Endowment Program that is replacing the D tier events. This tier is supposed to be designed specifially for this type of chaitable event. Unfortunately, they have not finished with the details of this tier as of yet. So I am waiting until next month to find out further info on this .

[skipache]

i vote ctier, i have no problem donating $2 a person to cover pdga fees, ( more people will come as well), i mean id come anyway but michigan, wisconsin, or indy might only travel if its sanctioned

[Stenky]

All,

The willingness for us cheeseheads to pop down for a tourney in "Bears Country" (especially with Packers possibly in the playoffs ), is not reliant upon sanctioning necessaily. It does help, but I am willing to haul my but down there in January.

Thank you,

Steve

Well, here is the flyer for the Ice Bowl. If anyone would like to get their name at the bottom as a sponsor, let me know.

[stpitner]

hehe, I'm a flymart   Does that mean I specialize in zippers too?

I definitely would want to get my name on the bottom of that flyer!

hah, I don't know why I kept thinking that the date of the tournament was on the 12th... I think I've been telling a lot of people that.  Duh, that's a Friday.  I wonder what day I have it written down on for the calendar... I know that I wouldn't have written it on a friday!

[Fox Metro Discer]

You are correct Scott. The date is the 12th. My sausage fingers got the number on the flyer wrong. The corrected version is here.

[stpitner]

hah, and I even looked at my calendar wrong for '08 too.  For some reason I thought it said the 13th for the Saturday.  OK, January 12th.  I'll still be there   Let's see, that should be the Packer's bye week, correct?
