2007 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

[SERG]

if anybody chooses the taste of chicago over Rockford after the turnout at rockford last year, then they have issues.

It was also one of the last AmNats qualifiers. It won't be this year. Hopefully attendance isn't affected because of the change of "status" of this event. Of the courses I've played in Illinois, Anna Page is my favorite.

wilburs date in april is incorrect      4-22 and 23 rd

Danimal's right Mukey.  Taste runs for a few weeks.  You can stuff yer gills any time.  Odds are the best free concert will be the 4th.  Gotta come to Anna Page.  We can  bring some fast food, set up an iPod with speakers and you can feel right at home.  Wait...we'll get a few 16 year old kids wearing Metallica T shirts to come puke on you and then ask you if you can buy them some more beer, then you can feel just like you are at the Taste.

I'm not going to the Taste vs. IOS at Rockford at all, I was just using that as an example of why I still consider 7/8 & 7/9 the 4th of July weekend in response to Bruce's post.

I'll be up in Wisconsin camping and won't be able to make it. Reservations had to be made early in order to assure a campsite. I WILL be playing some golf though.

Lombard will be a 2007 Am Nats qualifier.

Rockford will be a 2007 USDGC Illinois Rep spot qualifier, a 2008 Am Nats qualifier and I believe we have a sponsor for an entry fee for the 2007 USWDGC. This year Rockford will be three times the qualifier it was last year!!!

pdga.com now lists all the IOS dates (minus Rockford) as pending.

Lombard Pandimensionals? What is that!?

[Bruce Brakel]

We got approval from the Pandimensional Disc Golf Association to hold the Pandimensional Championships, but we shortened the name.  All competitors will be required to compete in three dimensions and observe the local convention of linear time.  But if you get beat by a three dimensional extension of a nine dimensional life form, you should have practiced your putting. 

Or, it is just a silly tournament name that Jon and I like. 

Rockford was big before it was a late Am Nationals qualifier.  I think it will be big as an early Am Nationals qualifier too.

 Gotta come to Anna Page. 

Oh, I dunno. If it's 100 degrees like last year, wouldn't it be more fun to consume enormous quantities over hot asphalt at Grant Park?

Is there anyone out there that could put together some type of clip about the IOS for Discgolf TV?

[Abelardo Arenas]

If you want to send me a message...let me know if you have anything specific in mind (video, stills, music, interviews with members). And how long would you want it to run? I could work off your direction..or normally I have pretty good luck letting inspiration grab a hold and creating original video pieces. 

I have several hours of footage archived from IOS #6 that I could look through (not including the 3 1/2 hours from the DVDs). Or I could come up north, one of the times, and shoot everyone during your league days or meetings.

Are you talking about Joe Wanders public access cable disc golf TV or Timmy Gill's internet based disc golf TV?

Go ahead and create something. Check the 1st post of this thread for details. Thanks for your help!

I have some questions about trophy only.

I was planning on playing Int on Sun and trophy only Adv on Sat, just for the learning experience of playing with much better players.

First, can a trophy only player qualify for Am Nationals?  (The chances of me finishing in the top 20% of Adv players are about as close to zero as possible, but still it's fun to try).

Second, I notice that it's actually cheaper to play Pro trophy only (and an even better learning experience I assume), but is it annoying to the pros to have a player at a low level slowing them down?  (I'm borderline Int/Rec).  Am I better off sticking with Adv?

[tacimala]

Yes you can play trophy only and qualify, but you have to be a PDGA member.

[pickax]

One difference between Trophy only in the Pro division vs the Advanced division, is that there is no player pack for the pro division.

[Bruce Brakel]

Most of the pros understand that trophy-only players are added cash and they are fine with that.  You do get the player pack if you play trophy-only advanced.  You'll play with better players if you play trophy-only pro.  I've played trophy-only in almost every upper day division, except when I've played pro women I've always paid full fee!

First off, thanks for the replies.

Second, sorry to be redundant.  I just realized that this quesiton was already posed in the USADGC forum.  Ettiquete foul.

Last, I am trying to register and it keeps saying the letters I've typed for the verification are wrong.  I don't think I'm a total idiot...but I'm starting to wonder.  Is there a problem with the site, or am I really being that dense?  (I know I can read...I've been able to post to this forum   )

I presume those letters are case-sensitive, so perhaps that's what you may need to try out next.  Now if you were already typing the right upper-case and lower-case letters, then apparantely goofy text is not your thing hehe.  If worst comes to worst, maybe someone can sign up for you and give you a generic password to start.

[Jon Brakel]

I think they are time sensitive also. So if you bring up the page and then don't get around to signing up for awhile (like its loading in another tab and you get distracted), the code might time out.
