FYI: The Ranger Card office in the Union has the Prairie Open tourney discs available: CFR Starfire and CFR Classic Roc.   Both are priced at $24.95. They always have a buy 3 discs you get one free... this also applies to these.

Hey Shawn, did Sunday fill up last year? I won't know if I can play until literally that morning so I can't pre-reg.

I'd be going on about 4 hrs sleep after a gig, which worked pretty well for me last year at the Callahan Memorial, so...

both days filled last year, Damon..   Thing is we only had 1/3 pre-reg and most registered the day of the event.

I made a small mistake...the discs are $24.65/each not $24.95...in my budget, $0.30 adds up!

after checking out the UWP website again today, i noticed that DISContinuum is listed as a sponsor.
is this accurate?

Paul Kuffel paid for it, not sure of the details....  I think it is just a jester of good faith with the sharing of the servers and all...  So maybe at the Blast put our logo somewhere..

I think that could be arranged. =)

I think we got some light Leopards that could be offered up as CTP discs...

I could trade you some useful discs straight up for them if they are 150 class Champion Leopards.  

Shawn, last year the TD for this event deducted a PDGA fee, a tour fee, a basket fee and maybe a course use fee from every amateur entry fee, making payouts verrrry thin.  Is that the plan for this year too?  After deducting all those fees will they then do an 80% C-tier payout?   What if you finish in the middle of the pack -- do you then owe them more money?    

Please, everyone play this event and then play Jon and Brett's Illinois Open #1, The Streamwood Starter.  Compare the payouts.  You'll be amazed.

Ah Bruce...


All our Leopards that aren't Sun King stock are DX. The ones that aren't DX I doubt you'd want to trade for...

Bruce, I'm not trying to be offensive when I ask this question.  It's just a simple question.  When you ran your first tourney, did you make some mistakes?  I'm just curious.

This was the first tourney that the Parkside Club ran.  I was really impressed with the turnout.  Yes, payouts were a little thin, but that was because of some first time mistakes.  Everyone makes them, and while I'm sure we all appreciate how wonderfully run your tourneys are run, there is no need to directly "pick" on another tourney because they made some mistakes.

Thank you for pointing out that they under paid last year and making sure the game of disc golf is run fairly.  I appreciate that effort.

Bruce,
    From some e-mail communication, the payouts will be handled differently this year at the Prairie Open. The payouts should be better than last year.

    I do agree that on comparison the IO Series will beat pretty much any tournament payouts considering no added cash.

Bruce, your an Ass..

I am not running this thing..

You told me when I left to go to Charlotte that if I continued my wise cracks that i would get my ass kicked...your on track for an ass whopping yourself.  

"Compare the payouts", What is your problem...are you adding cash to the am division?  Both you and Brett complained about payouts but never saw the cost of running the way they did...lots of ammedities that were not sponsered.  

Last year was Parksides 1st PDGA event, I believe they fixed the problems.  

If not, I'm sure you will point it out...

[Jon Brakel]

Bruce, your an Ace...

At first there's the reaction "He's my brother and nobody can say that about him!" which is quickly followed by the "He's my brother and has been the biggest ace in my life!"

Anyway, I think now is the time for us to run our tournaments and let them speak for themselves.
