Brett will add the people that have signed up today to the tournament page later on this evening.  He is currently out at the course right now and will be out there all day accepting registrations.

Give me a little bit. I'm finally sitting down to eat. Should be done in the next hour.

Coure looks great. Lots of players!

News Sun called for some info. They'll be there taking pictures and interviewing some winners.

There are 12 spots if any walk ups show up.

Best to wear boots or crappy shoes you don't care much about because this rain we just got will make the course nasty with mud and pockets of water all over.

The places to really look out for are one, four, eight, nine and possibly 9a

time to pack the car a and roll

Man what a great event, I had a blast! Kudos to Brett, Scott, Senior and whoever else helped in running
such a fine tournament. Those alternate holes were really nice, very enjoyable.

Good stuff....

[Sr.]

What a fun course to play with some awesome temp holes. Thanks for all your hard work everyone!

[Tom McManus]

Great job by Brett in putting the CAC together this year.  What a fun day. Thank goodness for pre-reg, the way the weather was in the morning, I think there would have been more than a few of us that stayed home.  But the skies closed up and we had a good day of weather, the wind always makes it more fun on the course.

The 13 temp holes were great.  9E wasn't my favorite hole, but I certainly won't forget it anytime soon.  9D was an extremely tough hole that seemed to be fair to everyone.  Like most everyone else, 1A was hurtful to me.  Was there any 3s on 1A?

Excellent job on getting everyone out in the morning, having the pre-reg cards done the night before, color coded for divisions was an excellent idea. 

Thanks to Scott Pitner for having the largest inventory around.  If Scott doesn't carry it, you don't need it. There was a boatload of items to choose from today, or at the very least a very packed vanload. 

Congrats to Al Bingman, who shot a hot 57 the first round, that was some great shooting in some pretty rough conditions.

Thanks to Adrian Sr, Mike Clark, Tony Battisti, and Dan Michler for breaking down the course.  The additional time spent on the temporary holes really help to make a Brent Comincioli event special.  Promoting an event before it takes place is huge.  It was great to see Libertyville get a sanctioned event, it has been too long since one has taken place.

Thanks again Brett for the fantastic job and all the hard work.  Getting the scores up the day of the event is another bonus.  You really made many people happy today. I am looking forward to your next event.

I know Phil won the 50/50.  Who won the Discontinuum CTPs?  Who won the Ace Fund?  And finally when are those sweet new Discontinuum discs going to be available to everyone?

[CEValkyrie]

I want to thank everyone who helped set up and tear down the course. There was a crew of us out on Friday morning from 9 until 12. We marked the tees, laid the rubber paids, cleared a few fairways, and did some minor trimming. We were again out early Saturday getting the baskets out then tearing it down again late in the day.

Without Scott Pitner of www.paperorplasticsports.com this event would not happen. He has an awesome selection of plastic and merchandise. He did an awesome job with online registration. Please support local disc golf and buy from PorP.

Thank you DISContinuum Disc Golf Club for the use of 6 rubber tee pads and 5 baskets. DISContinuum donated 4 CTP's for club members only.  In the past 2 weekends DISContinuum has picked up about 15 new members. Thank you for the support!

I want to thank my dad for the trophies. He took the picture while in Chicago and did the editing.

Satruday was a blast. Thank you players for preregistering! I don't think anyone had to wait in line more than a minute or so to check in. We teed off exactly at 9:45.

I had a blast being in the center of the action on 9F & 9G. Scott stopped counting the number of shots that landed in the pavillion.

Eric Fite aced hole #1 round 2. He won $142
Phil Popovich won the $107 50/50 on hole 6A.
$106 was raised for a 2010 A-Tier.

4 DISContinuum Member Only CTP's
1 Streamwood Disc Golfer's Union CTP.
22 $15 2nd round CTP's

Congrats to all the winners.

Thanks again to the small army that made this event happen!

[CEValkyrie]

Was there any 3s on 1A?

Yes--11 total
Largest score on 1A was an 8. Two of them.

Round 1
Tafe Hemler
Nick Austin
Matt Travis
Trevor Pigney
Doug Buettgen
Brian Kidder
Todd Cratty

Round 2
Chris Brenholtz
Tafe Hemler
Brad Bishop
Josh Younkin

Note: This is the last time i'll put the true course par on a score card. Now I see why disc golf has used par 3 for all these years.

TD report is complete. I will wait to submit it so the ratings stay unofficial.

Nice job Tafe. Getting 1A twice.

[CEValkyrie]

I am very excited to see the article in tomorrow's News Sun. 

I am always looking for feedback about temporary holes. I admint 6A was a pretty lame hole but as a player I hate walking between 6 & 7. It made a good 50/50 CTP hole and i'm pretty sure Phip Popovich loves it.

[stpitner]

figured I should post so that people know I'm still alive lol.  I left last night extremely tired.  I arrived home shortly after 9:30, and the unloading has begun today!  Thanks to all of you for being patient waiting in line to get checked out during the tournament payout madness (any ideas on how to make that process better I'm willing to listen to ideas!).

Thanks to the crew that helped me get the van loaded and unloaded.  It would have taken me 2-3 hours easy doing it all by myself!  You guys are the best!

I look forward to the next event

It was one of those must get holes that you kick yourself if you miss, but I definitely agree with it since it uses up that wasted space during the walk. Perhaps another option with a mando could be used next year to make it harder?

I liked the course setup and had fun, my groups were great both rounds. Nice to finally play with Frank Luce and Nick Austin.

I'd be curious for the reasoning behind this. Was it just too many incorrect score cards?
