IOS #3 The Cryztal Cruise

[Bruce Brakel]

I think right now there are about 110 pre-registered.  We're behind in updating PDGA.com. 

I think we'll fill this like the other two.  The Great Lakes Open is full on the am side [with mostly Michigan and Ohio players] and there is little else going on that's sanctioned in the Great Lakes states.  Also, since we have been filling to full but not turning too many people away, people aren't really thinking they need to pre-register.

im not driving 1 1/2  hrs to not play

if ur coming in a car of players  - what happens if one of you doesnt get in

what if the driver doesnt get in (my brother was the last one let in at fairfield )

[stpitner]

I have a feeling that there will be a LOT of walk-ups at Crystal Lake... just a hunch.

Bruce - I'll let my brother know about the "brother-of-the-guy-who-bought-league-trophies discount" lol.  That's great.  I'm handing out those discs next Wednesday.  Hopefully everyone will enjoy it   There's a race between first and second and it all depends on the outcome next week to determine the overall winner.  I'll have to post a picture of how the final trophies look once I get the brass plaque portion of it done.

Thanks!
Scott

Apologies to all who tried to prereg yesterday & this morning while the server was having problems....

On that note, PREREG FOR IOS#3 IS CLOSED! Show up early & go straight to the registration table if you want to play. Don't drive all the way out to CL to get turned away!

i will be playing as a pdga member, but i really have no proof of membership yet. only thing ive received in the mail so far is the disc golf world mag. will this cause a problem when i check in tommorow morning?

[mirth]

no problems. they'll have a spreadsheet that lists all current members & you'll be on there.

There are only about 25 spots available for Sunday. If you are driving out expecting to get in, you should arrive as early as possible. If you are standing there at 7am while we're setting up, you will probably get in.

[airspuds]

are we playing 22 holes on sun ?

any aces  ?

[stpitner]

the last I read about the 22 holes was that Sunday's are capped at 20 holes.  I'm presuming that is still the case.

[Dan Michler]

yes there was an ace on saturday

[UMphreak]

Hey I had some stuff come up last minute and I wasn't able to play this Sunday.  I pre-reg'd yesterday and I was wondering if my entery fee could be either given back or just put towards the next IOS?  please let me know      THANKS-Rocky

[CEValkyrie]

Wow! What a weekend. I'll try to post more tomorrow.


Joe Kwalski from Alto, MI hit an Ace on Hole #9 on Saturday. $750.00. He took first in Advanced winning approximately $135.00 in funny money. He got in the side bet and won approximately $70.00 funny money. Not a bad day of disc golf. WOW!!

No aces today. Some bad weather rolled thru in the afternoon.

I'm off to bed.

Did you guys play the second round, or was it cancelled due to the weather?  I didn't allow time for bad weather, and had to leave early for an obligation that I had around 6:00.

[stpitner]

my brother played in the tournament and they did play the second round.  I know my parent said they didn't pick him up until 7pm, but I don't know if the round ended then or if that was after the prizes were distributed.  I guess play was halted at least once due to inclement weather.

[Mukey]

Second round WAS played. I think by the time awards were done it was about 7:30-ish. I know we talked to Brett at Hole #1 at 5:45 with 1-7 still to play, so around 7 o'clock for the round to be done sounds about right. I wasn't looking at my cell afterwards for a while, so I'm not sure about exact time.

Once the lightening passed, the weather wasn't so bad.  It did rain a little after play was resumed, but I've played in much worse. All the cards were in around 7:00.  We left before awards.  I really hate doing that, but the lady we drove had to be back in Madison by 9:00 to take care of her young boys.  Unfortunately, when we hit Rockford the darn Illinois tolls had traffic way backed up.  It took us 50 min to travel 5 miles.  Needless to say, we missed that 9:00 deadline.  Even though it was a long day and I didn't play that well, I had fun.  I love the IOS tourneys!  I still plan on making them all.  Hopefully Ben stays below 915 so we can play on the same day.

I love the IOS tourneys! 

I second that!

Big Props to the ALL of the Brakels, Brett, Mike Clark, Michler, and everyone who helps make the IOS a success!

He's at 900 with you close on his heels at 873.  Its still a one day proposition for you guys.  It was nice playing with you Sunday morning before the deluge hit. 

Notwithstanding the rain, lightning and long rounds, it was a blast as usual.  Sorry I had to bail after the rain but I hoped to get home before my bedtime.  .  A few of us sat under the Waterford Girls vender tarp during the strom.  The thunderclaps were intense.  I had just teed off of 7 before the rain.  It was dry.  After the storm passed there was a lake on the teepad.  There must of been 1-2" of rain in 30 minutes.

Yes, regardless of the weather you guys put on a good show.  Looking forward to the Forest City Frenzy!

I noticed that there were a couple ofl 940+ rated players that playted in the intermediate on Sunday (Kenny Glassman and Andrew Gleason). How does that work? Several were over 920... Hmmm
