2005 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

[Bruce Brakel]

I was going to hold off on announcing it until it was on the schedule, this being disc golf and all.  It is looking very good that way though.

PREREG FOR IOS#5 IS CLOSED! See you at the tournament.

Weather.com says there's a chance of falling scorpions.  So, does Accuweather.

[Bruce Brakel]

It is the right conditions for giant carnivorous fireworms too.  Bring some repellant.  

[Dan Michler]

it won't rain this time.  i promise.

[DougEDawg]

As long as the disc-eating manti are at bay, I'm there!

[airspuds]

are  there master divisions offered on SAT ?

i asking for my buddy who is unsure what division to play

he doesnt play much and shot +18 at streamwood last week

im thinking he plays recreational

how much was that ace fund again ?

[Jon Brakel]

No masters on Saturday since the PDGA got rid of Intermediate Masters a couple of years ago. I'd agree on Rec. $600+

[Jon Brakel]

Sorry, no online scoring today, but you should see them tomorrow. Becky said she'd type them in during the day on Sunday.

Ace pool is capped at $750 for Sunday at Streamwood. Just like in Rockford, if one ace hits it pays $750. If two aces hit they split $750. If three or more aces are hit then they split all ace money.

Have a good night...these TDs are going to sleep!!!

Guys & gals, thanks for a great tournament!

[Clonefan94]

Yes, thanks a lot for the tournament. It was the first tourney I've played in and it was a blast. We are baptizing my daughter the day of IOS #6 or I would definitely be there. Great job guys and gals!  

[Jon Brakel]

Scores are posted at pdga.com. Thanks to Becky we had Sunday scores posted BEFORE awards started and we started awards 5 minutes after the safari finished! That's as fast as we can do it unless we follow the safari with the laptop! I'm not sure why the first round of Saturday does not have unofficial ratings. I'll try to figure it out in the next day or two. Since we played the same course both times in similar weather the ratings will probably be close compared to each other.

Thanks to all for another fun event.

Any aces on Sunday?

[CEValkyrie]

Another great weekend for disc golf at Streamwood. 71 players Saturday & 47 on Sunday. Kent Schafer hit a skp ace on #7 for the $750.00 ace pool. Heeren tore it up in the Safari & came back to beat Rose by 1 in open.  

[Jon Brakel]

Ace pool starts at $127 for IOS #6 Discontinuum Blast. Some how after back to back events with $750 ace payoffs, $127 doesn't sound like much. However, if I hit it I won't be complaining!

I know that the Blast is just a trophy-only D-tier but since it is just one day I suggest pre-registering for this event.

[CEValkyrie]

Thanks for getting those scores online Jon! That's a big bonus. That was a tough Advanced Field today. 8 of the 22 adv players that participated have at least 1 advanced win this year.



I'll try to have 20 to 24 holes depending on how many portable baskets I can get. Sergio, Shawn, & Spike, can I barrow your baskets?


We'll have a max of around 100 to 120 depending on the # of baskets. The fewest # of players we have had this year is 100 & that was in cold & snow. The other 5 have had 120+.  Please pre-register for this event.  

[DougEDawg]

Thanks again TD's et al for another great event!

Anyone know why the first round wasn't rated on am day?  There were more than enough gators within 70 points of their averages.

[Chainmeister]

Great job on Streamwood guys.  

KVN, you should have your discs stolen (and recovered) more often, nice shooting.

Can we prereg for IOS#6 in person?  I was thinking of forking over the cash this Friday.

[Jon Brakel]

Brett takes in person pre-registration, so I'm sure you can register on Friday.

I'm going to try to replace all of Saturday's results sometime today and see if that gets the unofficial ratings. There's something broken, I just don't know what.

[Jon Brakel]

I sent an e-mail to David Gentry because I can't figure out what's wrong. If they can't figure it out for the unofficial I'm fairly certain it will be included in the official ratings.
