The pool info can be found in the players handbook

that'll bring it to 151 preregs.

[pickax]

Rockford had 167 as a C/B tier three years ago. I would hope as an A-tier that gets beat.

[tacimala]

167 unique or are some of the people counted twice?

[pickax]

It was a one-day all divisions event.

[mirth]

I'm sure we'll be over 200 this weekend.

No Am Masters yet?

[Bruce Brakel]

I thought I saw four or five am masters.  I ordered a trophy for them.

is it too late to change divisions?  And Can I request to play on the same card as someone in my division for the 1st round?

[Bruce Brakel]

Jon and Becky handle leaderboard stuff.  Usually we let people change divisions.  Usually we don't do designer foursomes.  Jon and Becky are the ones to ask.  Jon at brasscash dot com.

So if you're looking at 227 for one on the other side of Iowa, 180 at St. Louis, and 168 in Wisconsin, I don't see why this event can't get to at least the 170 level.  Yes that would mean 40 more registrations between now and Saturday... would be really nice to see.

At least a couple of those other A-tiers attendance was affected by the IOS, well... by one attendee   If memory serves me correctly I skipped 2 a t-tiers in favor of chasing a series title in the IOS.  well, than & I know for a fact your tournies are very well run!

[Dan Michler]

i think keeping the online prereg option open through Thursday would help out alot for the people coming from farther away.  if they know they are in the tourney they are more likely to come.

Sorry in advance if this has already been asked. But looking thru the handbook, it shows Par for Old course on scorecard of 56, 2par 4's. New course is 57, 3 par 4's. Will we play those holes as 4's in this tournament? As we didn't in the GRABM CLASSIC.

Thanks, Doug

[mirth]

Par is irrelevant. Get the lowest score possible, thats all that matters.

[Jon Brakel]

Par is irrelevant. Get the lowest score possible, thats all that matters.

The only time it matters is when you get a penalty based on par. When you are late to tee off you get par plus 4 throws. When I check scores I just pretend everything is par 3 for ease of counting.
