IOS #1 @ Kenosha, WI--04/21&22/07

[Bruce Brakel]

I have special player pack requests from Tacimala, Krupika, Mukey, JR and Jon.  These will be set aside.  Please ask for them from me on the day you are there except JR.  JR's will probably be clipped to his leaderboard card. 

It is too late to send me any more special requests unless they come in before midnight tonight,  eleven your time.  The van is packed and we're pulling out early tomorrow, but I'm trying to finish some things tonight to surprise someone.

Done on my side of things

[Bruce Brakel]

Cool beans.  Becky, don't forget to bring the leader board and all the normal TD supplies.  I'm bringing back up TD supplies and an overflow pin board if we need it.  If you have time to conform the leader board to the course routing, that would be helpful. 

[mirth]

oh yeah, bruce - I'm gonna take a DGA player's pack. Never have enough blowflies!

[Bruce Brakel]

gotcha

[CEValkyrie]

Bruce & I will be at the course tomorrow afternoon. Online registration closes at noon Friday. If there are spots available  you can register at the course. Saturday is starting to fill up. Only 30 spots left. There should be no problem registering tomorrow at the course for Sunday.

[Bruce Brakel]

Yeah, but I gotta add one thing to that.  Because of the way we are tracking who pre-registered and who did not, I think we need to close pre-reg at noon when on-line pre-reg closes.  All of the pre-reg'd players have to be on Mirth's list.  So, you can register at the course tomorrow but you can't pre-register at the course tomorrow.  I might be wrong.  If Brett can get you on Mirth's list tomorrow at the course, he can take pre-reg.  I can't.  I can only take reg. 

Meanwhile, right now we have 75 players pre-reg'd for Saturday.  We have 35 spots left, plus maybe one more for a player who might withdraw.  So if you really want to play on what looks like a spectacular day, you better click on the store link above at the top of the page or get out to the course Friday afternoon or early evening.  I don't think there will be many Saturday spots left Saturday morning. 

A couple of other things and then I have to check on what's baking in the oven:  Some divisions did not pre-reg in time for me to get trophy discs done.  Talk to me Saturday about your options if you're a Grandmaster or a Junior boy. 

I'm leaving early tomorrow morning so its now too late to e-mail me any special merch requests.

Is someone bringing flyers for the series this weekend?

I thought I saw on a previous post that Dan is bringing flyers this weekend.

[Mike S]

What time do we need to check-in by?

[Jon Brakel]

What time do we need to check-in by?

9am but it would be nice if everyone checked in as soon as you arrive so that we can get players on the board. The later you check in the more likely you are to not be playing in your division during the first round.

[tree]

All players check in at the registration table by 9am sharp

I think Dan has course routing for both Pro/Adv & Int/Rec/Jr. I have no fliers. Printing has been restricted here at work.

 I wish more TDs would offer the trophy only option. It gives people a chance to compete w/o going broke. Look at the pro women's division.  So far only 1 of the 8 pre-registered is playing for cash. 5 of those women could be playing for plastic in advanced.  Sometimes I think TDs feel the need to raise entry fees to make the payout bigger because that's what the players want. I think this goes to show that sometimes people just want to compete.

[Mukey]

I can't wait!! Accuweather was stating 19 mph winds for Sunday! Should be a lot of fun   

I can print out some flyers if need be, but it seems Dan's got that covered.

[damonshort]

19 mph is a light breeze for Parkside, esp for April...

[stpitner]

thankfully a good number of the holes are wooded shots, and wind won't get in the way as much as the trees will

See me at the course today if you plan to preregister. Bruce has no idea what he is talking about .

[tjdub42]

You can register at the course tomorrow but you can't pre-register at the course tomorrow.  I might be wrong.

Makes sense to me.   At least he admits he "MIGHT" be wrong.

Remember, Bruce is a lawyer.  Little semantic differences like this brighten his day. He said that you cannot PREREGISTER at the course.  However, you can REGISTER. Why would that matter?  PREREGISTRATION is a bit cheaper.  I guess Bruce thinks the rates went up.  Given that I would suggest that  you look for Brett.  I'm just imagining the poor kid who shows up at the Brakel door to take one of the junior champions to a prom one day...

Bruce:  I told you that one of the pre conditions for picking up (insert name here) was to bring a corsage.

kid:        Sir, I have one with me.

Bruce:   Well, son, today is the day of the prom.  You have met a condition, but not a precondition.  You needed to bring the        corsage by Noon on Friday.

kid:        Well, sir, can I pick her up at Mr. Comincioli's house.  He says I can bring a corsage as long as its before the player's meeting or the first dance whichever comes first.

Bruce:  I'm sorry son.  I can't do that.  You've blown the time period for a precondition. However, you can still meet the condition of bringing a corsage but you will have to get her home an hour earlier than we agreed to...

kid:       But sir, that means she has to be home now!
