A few other tidbits:

Pro fee is $60 + Ace and CTP + $10 if you are not a current PDGA member. It is a B-Tier, so payout should be good.

And, just to be clear, only the Ams receive a players pack.

Sorry to stir here, but aren't B tiers supposed to be 100 miles apart?

Yes they are supposed to be 100 miles apart. Terry and I hadn't compared our schedules and I didn't catch the conflict until after both were posted on pdga.com.

If it's Joliet and Kenosha, they are 98 miles apart on map quest and if you take US-41 it's 106 miles. But I see where some players will have to make a choice where to go and some would maybe like to play in both.

[acesandchains]

I certainly don't have a problem with it. Kenosha is far enough away that I doubt it will affect my turn out much, if at all.

White tees both rounds for all divisions on both days.

Tournament posters in all the players packs.

Pre-registered Am players receive a tournament stamped disc as part of their players pack, while walk-ups will receive an Aces and Chains gift card.
