I was posting this yesterday when my computer broke down:



August 2 is the Indiana State Championships.  Running unsanctioned against the Indiana States is not likely to be a wise tournament promotion plan.



If you look at the PDGA schedule and the tournament separation requirements, it looks to me like the next available date is September 20 or 21.  



Please don't schedule against the USWDGC the following weekend.  



If the paperwork is in, you should get e-mail shortly from Brian Hoeniger telling you that August 2 is not available.

[Bruce Brakel]

I know from working on the Michigan schedule that the PDGA office does enforce the seperation requirements.

[Bruce Brakel]

Isn't that Chinese-symbol basket the trademark of an Illinois disc golf retailer?  The guy who sponsored the trophies for the Illinois State Championships last year?

[Bruce Brakel]

I agree with jim that it looks fine.  If you were thinking of the logo as also being the hotstamp, I will defer to the TDs.

[Bruce Brakel]

Can our webmaster change the title to this thread to "2003 ILLINOIS OPEN  (PDGA SANCTIONED C-TIER) 08-10-03" so that no one is misled?

[Bruce Brakel]

Jon, this is a sample of the small leaderboard card I'm using for the MDGO at Flip City.  I am going to print them on card stock in five colors I can distinguish and have them cut at Kinkos.  



There would be some Brakel family economies of scale involved if you wanted to use the same cards in the same colors.

[Bruce Brakel]

Damon, you don't really have to worry about sandbaggers since (a) in every region of the United States most players are already playing up a division and (b) every player I used to think was sandbagging in Am II, (yeah, I have a list!) as it turns out has an Am II rating, including me!

[Bruce Brakel]

84 spots and counting...

[Bruce Brakel]

The PDGA Message Board threads disappear into the archives about 36 hours after the last post.  Except for the occaisional threads about drugs, raping the amateurs to pay the pros, or throwing farther, most threads die every weekend unless someone pimps new life into them.



The Texas players have figured this out and they pimp their threads endlessly.

[Bruce Brakel]

I moved the rest of my response to the club members only section...

[Bruce Brakel]

Jon, I like the way we did rope at the Flip City MDGO to get all the pie toss participants throwing from the same distance.  Should I bring rope?

[Bruce Brakel]

On behalf of Brett, Jon and myself, I'd like to thank Slim, Brandon, Jay, Jason, Jim, Becky and anyone I'm forgetting for helping out through out the day.  I'd also like to thank 92 of the 95 players for showing, throwing and having fun.  



This tournament will be back next year.  It will be split-day.  Then we will be able to accomodate 76 players each day in foursomes.  For the Pro and Advanced players we are thinking about including some wicked USDGC-style o.b. on the obstacle-free open holes.  The whole concept of cranking your drive out to some random location in the long grass, lagging an upshot and dropping in for par will be eliminated for the upper divisions.  We will probably also offer a reduced entry fee for anyone who wants to compete for the trophies and PDGA points only in their division.

Sorry Damon, I won't be playing the IO. I will be out of town that weekend.

[pat]

When will the results be posted?

[drdye]

I like it better with the disc.

[drdye]

check out the Plaque Discs at the gallery page....

Only 4 more left, they are dying right now.  Will post them to that gallery as soon as they are finished.



What do you guys think?  More incentive to place at the event?  They will sure look sweet on those plaques!

[drdye]

I think thats a great idea Jon.

[drdye]

I am now pre-registered, ready to kick some butt!!!



Cant wait to play to course, I havent since they started letting the grass grow.  Cant wait to see what it looks like, pictures look cool.

[drdye]

Advanced.  No I woke up early this morning with a tooth ache, couldnt fall back asleep, so I figured I might as well pre-register for the IO.  So early this morning I used paypal to sign up.
