5th Annual Widdershins Open

[Chainmeister]

Discs will be a tournament stamped Wizard and a new disc Gateway has developed that they keep referring to as the 'hybrid'.

I was intrigued by the term "hybrid".  Is this like a Prius? I know Mirth drives one.  I've never thrown a gas/electric disc. I found the following on the Gateway message board in response to a question about the new unnamed hybrid:

Similar resistance to turn as the Blaze, faster and lower profile than the Sabre and a fade somewhere between the two. Sounds like it'll fly like a Sabre that doesn't turn and gets farther before it cuts in. I'll be getting some hopefully soon, so I'll post details then.

The Blaze and Sabre are described as:
the numbers are speed glide turn fade
Blaze E-S 7 7 1 4 Long mid-range S-shots/hyzers Intermediate Advanced Pro
Sabre E-S 7 9 2 2 Long straight shots Turnovers/slight hyzers  All

It sounds like a Teebird with a bit more glide and turn.  Have you thrown it yet Mirth?

[mirth]

have not thrown it yet. just got into the boxes last night at 9:00. I'll have some with me on Sunday at best shot.

The merch wagon will be at Widdershins.  There is a brass payout in the amateur divisions.  Some of the Innova merch highlights include more Pumpkin Aviars and Pumpkin Rocs, more Champion Classic Rocs, the new Roadrunner, and some Proline TLs.  I'll have some Discraft Z-Avengers, some Crystal Buzzzes and some soft Challengers too.  

2006 will be the last year for the current brass.  I'm going to post this a lot.  No one is going to say they did not know.

Jon, think I can scam some reg cards from you for the widdershins?

[mirth]

As of now, falling scorpions are not in Accuweather's 15 day long range forecast for the Widdershins.

If the forecast holds, it should be partly cloudy w/light winds. Temps in the mid upper 50s. Forecast looks good for the night round, too.


Brett, can you email Trigg to request the bathrooms be opened for the tournament? I was there on Tuesday & they were closed for the season already.
Same goes for the ball field. Its padlocked closed.

Yes, I will e-mail him today.

I think I had 100 reg cards coming out of IOS 6, then I made 60 more going into IOS 7 and we had 140 in attendance at IOS 7. Now if Johnny ate 8 apples and gave 4 to Sarah, how many beans were left in his pocket?

I should have about 20 registration cards in stock. How many do you want me to run?

[mirth]

Well,

Lets do:
15 Open
15 Women
10 Juniors
20 Adv
20 Int
35 Rec

So, that comes out to 115 total. I don't know how many you're fitting on a sheet, but if you have to increase it by a few to get even page usage thats fine.

I can even cut 'em up if I get them a couple days before the tournament....

[mirth]

The Widdershins is in less than a week!
As of now, the forecast is holding - Sunny, winds under 10, Highs in the mid upper 50s. Night round forecast is also looking good.

Come on out & play!

[Jon Brakel]

Mirth, I won't be playing league on Sunday because I have to take Maddisen to her cousins at 10am but I'll swing by The Bev on my way to the meeting and give you the registration cards and some financial stuff. I should be there by 11:30am.

[SERG]

I'm not going to be able to make it to the Widdershins however I would like to get a couple of the custom stamped discs...is this possible?

[Bruce Brakel]

If Mirth does not have extra, I'll have extra!    

[mirth]

Yeah, Serg. You've got a deal headed your way for designing the stamp.
Do you want the complete player's pack, or just Wizards w/the stamp?

[mirth]

Course routing & OB info. This will be printed and distributed at the tournament.

[Jon Brakel]

Mirth, on hole I for the second round it says "rope OB". Does that mean that the first round it is not OB? Also, do you have OB rope or have you asked Bruce to bring a spool?

[Bruce Brakel]

I have already forgotten to bring the rope to this tournament five times.  Every time I'm thinking what to bring I say to myself, "Discs, baskets, cloth merch, brass, no trophies, no kids, food, clothes, money, um, that's about it."

[mirth]

no rope, its a typo.

[mirth]

actually, its supposed to say 'across creek OB'. I'll have to remember to mention that during the meeting.

[SERG]

I was looking through Marshall Street's website and came across a special of buying 5 Wizards for $30. The picture of the Wizard's is what caught my attention. Take a look at the black disc.

Mirth: Is this the Widdershins stamped disc?

[Chainmeister]

The resolution is such that I can't read the writing.  If its too big the picture is too degraded.  But that sure looks like the Widdershins stamp.  I have one in my practice basket.  If you look at the writing on the top it sure looks like it says DISContinuum at the top. You will note its next to a Bonarroo Wizard.  Did they print up some concert discs?
