Joliet Championships, Pro/Am B-tier: October 24-25

[stpitner]

If there is space available, we'll have day-of registration.  I have about 6 or so registrations that are not online yet.  So right now there is plenty of room.  However, I usually get a BUNCH of registrations the week of the event, so I don't know what's going to happen.  It's definitely worthwhile monitoring the situation as the week progresses.  I update it as quickly as I can.

Damn!

So there is no confusion this year, we will have all hole specific rules printed out and given to each player.

Might have a player party/bonfire...workin on that.

I am trying to find out where Highland Park is.  The joliet web page doesn't list it and PDGA has it as 2 names Highland and Pilcher.  Does anyone have a link to the correct park and location?  The Chicago Land link on this page doesn't work either. I would assume open is signing up at this course, is that correct?

[Dan Michler]

I-80; North on Briggs St (Exit 134), right on E Cass St/ US 30. Slight left at Highland Park Dr. The park is on the right - 1st hole across street from parking lot.

[pickax]

Jason, from where you're coming from, I'd recommend taking I-355 south to US-6. The better coordinates for the parking lot are 41.533172,-88.032375.

Are you going with the pre-reg rule for players who are no longer eligible to play in the division of their choice?  Don't go look to see who before deciding.   

[dana]

Pitner is running the Am side so it's up to him..

[pickax]

I looked and there is no one posted on pdga.com that is over the division limits.

You are correct.  I was posting from the other side of a time-space discontinuity.  Intermediate goes way up into the 930s these days!

[stpitner]

it all depends on when Addie sends me the list - and then I have to print it out.  Since there's no pavilion or power at Lockport, I'd have to have the printed list.  However, if there's suspect people posting on the board querying about it - then there might be extra suspicion and intrigue over those changing ratings

What's the grace period, 2 weeks?  So that way if I completely screw up and can't check them all fast enough I won't get yelled at? (well, yelled at as much)


Couple changes to the disc order - I just had calls from all 3 companies about my custom stamping orders - it sounds like all 3 are getting stamped today and all 3 shipping today.  I'll have the Gateway tomorrow and the Innova/Discraft Wednesday.  Huge stock order of Innova arriving Thursday including all of the new stuff (Star Mako, Star San Marino Roc, Pro Boss, a few Star Dart):


Discraft - FLX Drones will not have the custom stamp - just coming in stock stamp
Gateway - they only had Organic Wizards available for custom stamping - so I'm getting a bunch of those.  They are supposedly pretty popular though.
Innova - They didn't have any R-Pro Ontario Roc's left, however, they had something even cooler that as of last week wasn't even available.  R-Pro RANCHO Roc's!  Not to be confused with R-Wood Pro Rancho Roc's (which I'm also getting).  Rancho Rocs are your standard Roc (DX, KC Pro, etc), so this disc in R-Pro should be pretty sweet.

I'm getting reports that the stamp turned out great, so I look forward to seeing all of this stuff coming in!

[stpitner]

Just for clarification (this is already posted on my website):

Pool A (Pro's) - Report to Highland Park (Joliet) on BOTH Saturday and Sunday morning.
Pool B (AM's) - Report to Trinity Links (Lockport) Saturday morning.  Report to Community Park (Channahon) Sunday morning.

Saturday - Dana will be at Highland Park all day.  I'll be at Trinity Links all day.
Sunday - Dana will be at Highland Park in the morning and then go to Community Park.  I'll be at Community Park all day.

Sunday we will have chili for sale (most likely hot dogs as well).

[Bruce Brakel]

At which parks?

[stpitner]

All the food will be at Channahon (presumably) since all of the AM's will be there and the Pro's that are either getting payouts or want to watch the final 9 will also be heading over there and will be there at the same time.

I'm working to ensure that it's free food Sunday as promised   I haven't talked to Dana about it in depth yet though.

I did confirm that Channahon's bathrooms will still be open this weekend as well as all of the porta-potties that they get for Cross Country will still be there too.

[dana]

Dress warm this weekend! 

I'm planning on getting a bonfire going at Highland on Saturday.  You guys are going to be impressed when you see the shape Highland is in.

Looking foward to the tourney but not looking foward to the weather...Should be some interesting scores from the highland longs this year.
