2005 Illinois Open Series

[CEValkyrie]

Brett,

How many IL/WI tournaments do you/Bruce/Jon/etc plan to run?  I know there is the Bev. Blast and the three IOS's.  Are you going to add a couple more?  PDGA sanctioned?  Hope so!

All 6 will be part of the IO Series in 2005. All 6 will be sanctioned.

Parkside & Bevier will be DISContinuum/Waterford Jr. Girls Events. We will need volunteers to work these events. Parkside is on April 23/24. We have a date in mind but are awaiting final response from Waukegan PD before I announce it.

Here is the status so far of these sites.

Parkside-> All details finalized. Nice work Mirth! 4-23/24
Lombard-> Just got the go ahead today . 5-28 & 5-29. I'm espceially pumped about this one. I've been working on proposals since September.
Streamwood-> All details finalized. Date TBA
Crystal Lake-> Still working out some minor details with the PD.
Round Lake-> All details finalized. Date TBA
Waukegan-> Waiting to find out about the use of soccer & softball fields. Date TBA

The Prairie Open at Parkside is on the weekend of May 28th and 29th, same as Lombard.  Was that the conflict you mentioned earlier?

That weekend was a conflict but not that event. The Elver Open, B-Tier in Madison is the same weekend. We are going to offer Adv/Pro on Saturday & the Lower Divisions on Sunday so it does not conflict with either event.

I see a trend with the dates of the IOS 2005. Keep in mind that Women's Nationals 2005 is the last weekend of September.

That's the same thing the Prairie Open has done the last two years, are they changing to Pros on Sunday this year?

According to the PDGA Tour page, yes.

If you want any info about the Praire Open e-mail Dennis Miller at dennis.miller@uwp.edu he should be able to clear up any problems that you guys are aware of.

Any more IOS dates finalized.  Two down four to go.

I'm still waiting on a response from Waukegan & Crystal Lake. Once those 2 are finalized, the paperwork will be sent in to the PDGA & the dates will be released to all events. The goal has been to have this completed by January 1st. I think we'll meet the goal.

[DougEDawg]

Thanks Brett!

[CEValkyrie]

Waukegan has granted us use of the soccer & baseball field again on the date I proposed to them. 5 of 6 events are ready to go. Just waiting final word from Crystal Lake.
