[Jon Brakel]

That would be cool. No one told me that was possible.

[Jon Brakel]

Would I be able to send from the address also?

[Jon Brakel]

Are you giggling at me?!?

Im making a page on the site for the Open. Which email do you want listed? the aol one or a discontinuum one? Oh and yes, I was giggling at you :-) Not bad though!



After showing Brett today here's the design I am going to use for the logo on the site unless there are any objections. As always  comments are always welcome.

If you can do an illinoisopen@discontinuum.org e-mail address and forward the mail to illinoisopen@aol.com, please do. Then later you can clue me in on how to use it.

[Jon Brakel]

I prefer the one with the disc, and please do use it for the web page. I'm considering it for the tournament stamp if there is one. Everyone is welcome to submit an idea for the stamp, even if you only have the idea but don't have any skills to make it happen.

Here is what the Illinois Open stamp looks like.

[Jon Brakel]

If anyone wants to register for the tournament by mail instead of on-line, please write down the information requested from the on-line registration. Then mail that along with a check or money order to:



Jon Brakel

1671 Woodduck Lane #2D

Wheeling, IL 60090



Make check payable to Discontinuum Disc Golf Club and make sure to include the $5 fee for non-PDGA members if you are not a member. Please include your membership number if you are a PDGA member.

[Jon Brakel]

we'll run any division that we get 3 players for. That means that any division is being offered. I won't have an Intermediate Amateur Master plaque, but I would have a trophy disc for the division. Unless I get enough registered before the event to justify.



(I fixed my typo that some of the below posts refer to)

[Jon Brakel]

yes, I did mean Intermediate Amateur Master. And if we only have two Int. Am Masters that want to play each other, I don't have a problem with running the division for two, just don't expect a big payout. The payout would only be what those two have paid in their fees.

[Jon Brakel]

When I listed Am Master, I meant Adv Am Master which would be $30. Int Am Master would be $20. Anyone can register for any official pdga division that they qualify to play in. I will probably run that division if I get at least two people who insist on playing in it. But all prize money comes from the entry fees of that division, and I may not have a plaque for the less popular divisions.

[Jon Brakel]

I'm sorry about the confusion. I will have flyers done in a few days and I will make sure they are easier to understand. Then maybe the web people can redo that stuff to match the flyer.

My father-in-law said I could use his tent. It is 10' X 20' & has side panels. It is a top notch tent. I figured this will be where registration can be set up & I hope to barrow another tent from RLAPD.

We can use that one for tournament central and the RLAPD tent can be used for a player area for before, between and after rounds. Maybe we can set up a couple of the water coolers in there.

[Jon Brakel]

Here's the flyer. Someone please print it out and make sure it looks normal. I'll be distributing them at the MDGO this weekend (can't hurt). Please pass them out at Parkside. Brett, can you take some to Parkside this weekend? Is anyone going to the Peoria Open? I'd like to get some down that way also.



The flyer is now corrected. Thanks Damon.

[Jon Brakel]

The above link now has the corrected flyer. Thanks for catching the mistake Damon.

[Jon Brakel]

So far one, but we're still 2 months away. Most tournaments that get any pre reg, get them the last two weeks before the tournament.

[Jon Brakel]

Please start some chit chat in the Illinois Open thread on the pdga.com discusion page. Brett has started an Illinois Open thread and I'd like to keep the thread active without looking like a topic pimp.



Ask questions, rave about the work that the parks dept. and we have done, start rivalry banter about how you're gonna dominate your field, whatever.



Thanks!

[Jon Brakel]

I have gotten a couple of discs donated by Cattongue Warez for CTPs and possibly jumbo tosses. I'd like to get enough merch to do 4 ctps and a few jumbo tosses.

[Jon Brakel]

84. Just got a registration in the mail today from a guy in Washington, IL (near Peoria).

BREAKING NEWS...We have a $100 plus sponsor for the Illinois Open. Bruce Brakel is generously donating all of the trophy discs (and paying for the dying as well) for the Illinois Open. With our original merchandise agreement Bruce was to sell us the discs at wholesale and we would pay for the Dr. Dye art. But last night Bruce called me and told me he wanted to donate the trophy discs outright. If we use 16 of the trophy discs, that will be a $120 donation (at wholesale prices)! It's a much larger donation if you consider the retail price.



Thanks Bruce!
