2008 IOS #5 @ Rockford, IL (DISContinuum Presents The ILLINOIS OPEN)

[ihatecheeseheads]

I've never played hi low doubles before.  How does that work?

[tacimala]

highest rated player there plays with the lowest rated player there and so on and so on.

[ihatecheeseheads]

That sounds fun.  What if a player is a pdga member without a rating yet.  Would it go by what div they play? 

[WkeBrd3]

What time is doubles tomorrow?

If you are playing doubles check-in after doubles is over. Becky, Maddisen and I will be checking people in and for Ams giving them their player pack. We might not be there before doubles but we'll be there by the time you're done. For those that aren't playing doubles but will be at the course on Friday, please check-in. I'd like to limit check-in on Saturday for only those people that are arriving on Saturday.

[CJI]

Nice!! Looks like I will check in tomorrow

[Bruce Brakel]

Hi-Lo means highest rated gets paired with lowest rated.  Next with next.  For the very few unrated players we'll do something fair.  Doing this at Women's Nats one year the second highest rated won, highest came in second, and a very balanced team got last cash. 

Best shot.

I expect to be there. 

[Bruce Brakel]

Almost packed and ready to leave.  Start sending me e-mails!     By "big cooler" Diana means popstand size.  Need them for Saturday lunch.

The lunch situation is so full of variables, its hard to say what we'll be doing for Sunday.  Would you rather play flight life for lunches or everyone gets a snack?  Discuss among yourselves.  Start a poll.  tell me tomorrow. 

[can't putt]

This is the lunch situation:  We only need to sell about 6 or 7 more CFR discs to have as much lunch money as we think we'll need.  That's because one of our sponsors has stepped up with a matching funds offer.

The lunch situation improved just a bit today.  I talked to the manager and he quoted me a slightly lower price than his subordinate.  We're getting really close to covering lunch both days.

I'll buy the remaining CFR discs that you haven't sold on Friday. For those looking to pick them up after Friday, they will still be for sale, still $20 each (just from me instead of from Bruce). Lunch on?

Lunch on.

As of now, 7 CFR discs sold or spoken for.  Jon scamming the sponsor for the rest.  I thought Sunday lunch was a done deal?

Welcome to Bruce's world Kurt.

Being able to check-in tomorrow will be great. Thanks Jon and crew.

Carla was able to get off work by noon so we should be in/at Anna Page before 3:00 (which includes travel and lunch time).

when did this turn into the Palin thread?

[JCthrills]

looking for some Illinois residents travel advice; I'm leaning toward just making the 5 hourish drive in the morning since everyoe from Indy backed out & I need to keep expenses lol.

Would it cut any time (by skipping the drive through Chicago) by taking 74W & coming up through Bloomington to Rockford?  Any know large construction projects on that route?  Mapquest shows it about 30 miles longer but I get to avoid Chicago & get out of Indiana asap (Kinda got pestered by police on my way to IOS#4)

so... 65 north through Indiana & Chicago or 65w & come up through Bloomington?

skip chicago, the traffic and construction in chicago will take longer  than going the extra 30 miles to take the bloomington route. i live just south of rockford next to interstate 39 and everytime i go to indy i take the bloomington then champaigne route. chicago just always takes so long...................... and theres no tollways to pay
