2nd Annual Jericho Lake Ice Bowl

[stpitner]

Jericho Lake Park - Aurora, IL - Registration 8 AM - 8:45 AM (at least try to get there during this time)... player's meeting to follow.  First round expected to start at 9:30AM.

Entry Fees:
2 canned goods plus
Pro - $40
Adv - $35
Int - $25
Rec - $25
Jr - $20

Other divisions to be opened pending a 3 player minimum.

Canned goods and a large cash amount per player will be donated to Hesed House in Aurora.  I don't want to steal Aaron's thunder on the amount if he wants to announce it here or at the tournament.

Highlights:
* Help raise money for Hesed House
* Free Lunch
* CTP on every hole
* Lunchtime Putting Contest
* Flymart on site (Paper or Plastic Sports)

Mulligans can be purchased at $2 each or 3 for $5.  All of that will be donated to Hesed house.

Format: 1st round - singles, 2nd round - seeded best shot doubles.  You partner with the person that finished in the opposite position first round.

Over 50 players last year, should be equal to that (and hopefully better!) this year

The ice bowl is HERE.

I wouldn't worry too much about standing water -- it'll help cover up all the mud.

Wow! I cannot believe that it took anyone (including mysel) to notice that one! DUHHHHH!
In light of this grevious error:

The tourney will be held at Jericho Lake Park in AURORA on this Saturday the 12th

See the previous post for a map and/or directions to this course.
Thanks Kurt!

It was actually posted in the tournament flyer on page one, but it was marked as the wrong date.  But yeah ^^^ what he said.

Looks like more sponsors keep flying in. I can't even hardly keep track now.
Anyways, players packs are looking like they will be pretty good as well.
Besides the disc with your entry, players will recieve some coupons/ vouchers from the following local businesses:
Steak 'n Shake of Batavia
7-11 convenience stores
North Aurora Bowling
Handy Man matters
P I Home Inspection Services

not to mention all the free stuff from the CTP's as well.

Hope to see you all out there!

With the thaw and rain the last 2 days, the course is getting wet on a few holes. I Highly Recommend bringing out some boots and/ or extra socks as your feet will probably be getting wet.

There will be a fire going all day so you can warm them toes up a lunch time as well.

Some of the other sponsors are: Giordano's pizza, TGI Friday's, Applebee's, and bunch of others. Some of the new ones are under the "Sponsors" thread:

Aaron,

Nice job on all the sponsors. I am sure Dan has his eye on the New Attitude Salon and Spa gift certificate.

I am looking forward to attending this event.

[stpitner]

haha, I would be a-miss if I didn't wonder who Paper or "Palstic" Sports are

Awesome list.

Nothin better than a free hour long swedish massage after a long day of disc golf!

That should be included in the player packs...

If mulligans are purchased and used during round 2, does that allow both players to reshoot from one spot or just the single player?

[godzilla46]

Yes both partners will shoot again if a mulligan was used at that time.

[stpitner]

ooo, both? that's new.  I like that. crud. i'm not playing. *shakes fist*

[Abelardo Arenas]

If mulligans are purchased and used during round 2, does that allow both players to reshoot from one spot or just the single player?

Last year, it was the single player. Like in one scenario, Steve Olson let his partner Adam Camp have one of the remaining mulligans. So Adam could shoot again (to help the team). But Steve did not get to shoot again.

[Tom McManus]

If anyone is interested I will be collecting Discontinuum membership dues.  We are off to a good start for 08. We are hoping for 150 members this year.

[Fox Metro Discer]

Godzilla's info is incorrect. Mulligans are for individuals only. If you use a mulligan during the doubles round, only the person who used the mulligan may shoot again.

I'm planning on being there and I have a bad case of selective hearing so I usually go with what I am told first.
