This looks awesome! I wish I lived closer to the Peoria area, but definitely still hope to make a few.

First tourney is coming up at Galesburg - doesn't count for points but it will be fun!

P.S. Trophies are ordered for the series and A-Tier.....they make the Green Jacket look lame!

>>15.   Ledgestone Insurance Championships Super Tour – September 14/15th

That's a Friday and Saturday. Is that correct?

[Ledgestone]

That's a Friday and Saturday. Is that correct?

That is correct - I don't run Sunday tournaments. Sundays are for Church!

[Ledgestone]

Trophies have been posted to my personal facebook page....the race for the Ledgestone Cup is on!

P.S. We have other trophies as well, including the September A-Tier trophies but I wanted to get these posted out there!

[Ledgestone]

See everyone at the Springfield A-Tier where the points are doubled!

P.S. Updated to reflect ties and the points for ties!

Great first event. Thanks to all involved on making it happen. Central Illinois Disc Golf is going to see a huge growth if this series continues over the course of a few years. There is finally incentive to join the PDGA in terms of playing sanctioned events.

[Ledgestone]

We are already taking registrations for our Super Tour Event in the fall on September 14th/15th. We expect this to fill up at least one month prior to the event as we had that happen last year. This is only an INITIAL estimate based on sponsor money and other fundraisers and tournaments, but it does appear we will be able to add $10,000 cash to the Pro Purse for the Super Tour and have a players pack worth $90 ONE HUNDRED PERCENT DONATED to the AMS without any money coming out of their entry fees. If you want to sign up shoot me an email and you can get a check mailed to me. Online registration will be up soon.

[CEValkyrie]

I plan on playing. How many pools?  How many total players?  Which courses will we play.

[pdga#7648]

Brett. Pros will be playing Mortons new layout and McNaughton.

[CEValkyrie]

3 or 4 rounds?

[Ledgestone]

I plan on playing. How many pools?  How many total players?  Which courses will we play.

The initial breakdown will be as follows:

252 Total Players
72 Men's Pro
40 Other Pro
140 AM's

This is based on our evaluation of demand. Men's Pro will play McNaughton Shorts, McNaughton Longs, and then New Design Morton Longs (will be concrete). There will be a final 9 for Pro Men, Advanced Men, and one more division. The final 9 will be at Morton and is tentatively scheduled to include the following: Hole 4 Longs, Hole 5, Hole 6 tee to Hole 7 basket, Hole 8 Longs, New Hole 13 Longs, Hole 15 Longs, Hole 16 Longs, New Hole 17 and Hole 18.

There will be a total of three rounds plus the final 9.

[pdga#7648]

man, I wish those unsanctioned didn't count towards series points. I can't make the Cherry Fest due to a wedding.

Oh well, maybe it's in Pastores head now that I can beat him, give him something to think about before our next matchup. still going to be hard to surpass him, giving him free points. Hope no other Masters show up and he plays Open 

[KenGmoney1]

I just signed up for the  Ledgestone Insurance Championships Super Tour – September 14/15th

This is going to fill.
