Mike Krupicka!  Do you have elf ratings on any of the Homie Am4s?  I realize they aren't going to do anything with elf ratings, but Diana was trying to decide whether to play Am4 or one of the other nine or ten divisions she is eligible for.

I have elf ratings for Jerry Dunne and Patrick Tueth. They are MA5. I'll see you there.

[Jon Brakel]

Maddisen has two contests this weekend so we will not be attending either. A few weeks ago I was hoping to take Maddisen and Becky to the Homie and I could take some pictures...but then I realized that Maddisen has Saturday and Sunday contests this weekend. Oh well...Go Cats!!! 

And to all that are going to the Homie, dress in layers!

Mitch- Still thinking of going to the homie, let me know. I got the green light, so I'm set! Sunny but cold for Sunday.

[Bruce Brakel]

It looks like the Brakel Committee of the PDGA will not have a quorum, so no official business will be transacted!    

I will be bringing 40 or 50 discs for the people who are taking delivery at the Homie.  It is not too late to get in on that.  I also have a Cubs Destroyer and a Cubs Boss.  Both are fresh and turned out nice.  I'm going to bring those.  They aren't on the BOGO lists because they aren't BOGO, but I'd go $15 on either.  

I've shipped eight packages and over 200 discs in the last 48 hours.  

JAVY:  If you go look at the pre-reg on pdga.com, you can see who is going from where.  The pre-reg shows hometowns.

www.zabasearch.com is useful half of the time for me.  When I was promoting Am4, it is how I generated a mailing list.

This is one of the most frustrating things about this event now that there are more courses. Glad I checked. Who knows if this is correct.

Other than it makes elf ratings nearly impossible, what is frustrating about it?

Every year it's never clearly stated what courses will be played. It was posted earlier pros would be playing Blue/Silver. Now it is Silver/Silver +3 Gold. Last year I was told when I registered pros would be playing Gold/Blue. We ended up playing Silver/Red. It's just a guessing game.

Is there any chance that they will turn people away that are not pre-registered?  Or since there are many courses will they let everybody play.

Says a max of 288.

Since I haven't been asked if I want to go home at 11pm, I'm not going to make the Homie this year

Good luck and happy discin' to all who attend! Keep warm out there!

238

[Tom McManus]

Excellent event today. 238 players for a one day event. Got to see two aces on my card the second round, unfortunately neither one belonged to me.  Brian Cummings and the rest of the Red Roc gang did a great job on getting us out of there at a reasonable time.

Chud--- I picked you up a blue champion sidewinder and a yellow dx aviar with your winnings today.

[damonshort]

Wish I could have made it, but one of the few things I'd rather have done today than play disc golf is create some good music. (English majors; diagram that sentence.)

Which I did.

(diagram that one too.)
