The one you did well was recently lost at Bevier, if thats the same disc that I bought from you. White Orc dyed yellow?

[Bruce Brakel]

Sounds right.  One was an Orc and one was a Monster, I think. 

Hey, I'm going to have a new Chainstar available for anyone who is sitting on a pile of brass.  400 Brass.  If no player grabs it, I'll hang on to it for a bit.  I can go part Brass part cash if you have a pile of Brass but not quite 400. 

[mirth]

Does the club qualify for this deal?

[dana]

I think Dustin Fee wants that Chainstar.

[pickax]

I'll take it

[airspuds]

stupid question

im going to play on sat to have shot at ace pool

if i play open master trophey only and pre reg thru the mail

it will cost me  10 bucks  plus the ace fund entry fee

and then i still get 15 brass cash   so im ahead of the game by 2 bucks

just saw this " If you are playing in a pro division you do not get a player pack. "

is that correct ?

Yup, only Amateurs get players packs

[DiscCrazy]

Do any Saturday divisions get players packs? I normally play Recreational but I want to have a shot at the ACE pool. So I am going to play Saturday. What division should I register for? Is there a trophy only in advance? I guess what I am asking is how do I get the most out of my money when I know I am going to finish in the bottom half of the division and really only playing for the ACE fund?

[pickax]

Instead pre-reg trophy only for adv masters (or advanced) at $15, get the player pack, and get a shot at the ace.

[airspuds]

that makes sense

[mirth]

every division has a trophy only option. every division except open has a player's pack.

[pickax]

Umm I believe only Ams get player packs, FPO, MPO, MPM, etc do not.

[dfee]

I talked to you about getting a basket at Aurora Bruce.  I would gladly take the Chainstar if it's still available.  I've been sitting on 300+ brass for over a year now trying to get a basket!

Thanks,
Dustin Fee

Isn't that what I said?

[pickax]

Not quite. You only said open which does not include from Open Women, Pro Masters, etc.

lol, talk about taking things literally! Are you studying for the Bar Exam?   

I doubt that 'spuds would be playing Open Women unless he took the Emily Dickinson exception....   


Is the island green to the practice basket going to be back in play this year? That hole was great!

If you are playing trophy-only on Saturday, Advanced is a better deal than Advanced Master.  I don't know whether we'll do CTPs or FlightLife; that depends on the weather and whatever else influences Jon at the moment.  But if we do CTPs, Advanced gets a lot more of them than Adv Masters.  If we do FlightLife, in Advanced you are likely to be in a foursome of players playing on Saturday only for the ace pool and you'd have a reasonable shot at it.  In Advanced Master you might be in a foursome that includes a 940 rated player and two 900 rated players, and maybe you got no shot at it. 

[mirth]

well, then by your inference I also excluded advanced masters, and all women & juniors divisions.

We haven't talked about yellow rope.  If I have the green light for yellow rope, I'll plan on getting some rope out there.  But I need to talk to Jon and Brett so they can do those cool course rules sheets they do and it will all be clear.  I have a different idea for yellow rope this year.  I want to do the Flying Saucer Prick hole.  Is there anyone who, based on the name alone, would want to play the Flying Saucer Prick hole?     Only it won't be entirely like the prick hole because the o.b. area would not be a fetid cesspool of decomposing fecal matter but simply fresh green grass surrounded by yellow rope.  So you won't lose your disc going for the I-can't-help-myself-deuce. 

[pickax]

You've completely lost me, but maybe that's a good thing. I liked the island hole last year. It was fun w/o being a complete round killer if you missed it. I say bring on the yellow rope.
