I will be up at the park around 7:00 setting up.

Registration will open up at 8:00 and end at 9:00 or until it maxes out.

If there are a lot of extra players, I will add 5 spots maxing out the event at 50 players.

This will put 5 on a card.

Good times today! I think our final numbers were 45 players for the tournament, and it was all done well before 3, rock on

Eric and all put on a great show, thanks to the park district for helping out!

I look forward to playing in this event again next year, with food involved too!

It was a fun time and my first completed tournament in over a year! Tom McVP did well as did Mike Krupicka. I'm sure there were other Discontinuum members that played well but I just don't remember. Mike Walsh and Becky split the ace fund on a throw off and Becky threw like 5th or something so she set the bar early.

Eric did a really good job with the reindeer games between the round and the awards. I won a Roc and said "first one that raises their hand who has fewer discs than fingers can have it" and I threw it to the first guy who raised his hand. After the awards I saw the dude get up and carry a bag with at least 12 discs in it. Dude must have a lot of fingers!

stpitner · June 30, 2007, 09:26:39 PM

Thanks Jon and Becky and Maddisen too for coming out to play! I think there were about 9 discontinuum tags that were collected and exchanged, so it was nice to see discontinuum members out there playing. Thanks for the added representation

Congrats on finishing Jon! You finished top 5 as well did you not? If not it was very close!

Becky beat me by inches on that throw off, congrats!

Thanks to Eric, and all who helped out and to the Roselle Park District for fixing up the course and helping with the event, and to Quest for the sponsorship. And thanks to Bruce; the trophy disc i got is awesome. I think you're skills are improving. It was a good time. Next year it will be a full two rounds of 20...awesome.

The course looked absolutely amazing today. I had never played 6-9 before today, and man... hopefully they will keep it groomed as time passes on like it was today because it was beautiful. I loved the look of the landscape of hole 8 as I walked up towards it. I didn't like that someone on the path didn't pick up the dog poop, but that's not the park district's fault!

They even mowed greens around the baskets for this tournament, awesome, awesome job.

I overheard Chado talking to one of the park district guys, and they are VERY interested in adding some new holes to that course sometime mid-to-late next year. They said the current pin placements would probably stay, but there was some rough off after 6 where they said they have plenty of room to add some stuff. Hopefully they can make some more nice holes in there!

Too bad I'm moving back to Algonquin in August because I think I'm going to have to go out and play this course a lot more often now!

E-Roc · July 01, 2007, 07:27:47 AM

It is true! During the tournament, Alicia and I were talking to the Park District, and they confirmed that they will be turning Goose Lake Park into an 18-hole course within the next 2 years. They might move a couple of the original holes, but when it comes time, I will be going out there and helping them design the other 9 holes.

Congrats to all the winners!

And, Again, Thanks to everyone that came out, from DGAC, Discontinuum, Roselle, and others.

This was my first maxed tournament, and I am looking forward to making it bigger and better next year. Time to start planning.

I had a really good time yesterday. I thought that The Roselle Park District did a great job getting this course ready. Guys from the park district were out there spotting and they even set up a portable gazebo and card table with water at hole 4. We had a local guy in our group playing disc golf for the first time. It seemed like he had a really good time and I think the competitive side in him will drive him to keep playing & improving. Getting the local people out on the course for the first time made for a successful tournament in itself. Great job, Eric!

I can't remember what I did for the Grip It trophies, but I don't think i did anything different from what I'm doing for the Rockford trophies. The rockford trophies are mostly red, white and blue because they had mostly blue hot stamps but there are some red, yellow and orange fire patterns.

pickax · July 02, 2007, 06:47:16 AM

The XLs had a dayglo yellow center that looked sweet through the stamp. Mine was a Meteor with a tear drop pattern. Since I cracked my stratus last week, I have to decide: Hang or throw?

Bruce- Do you have any D stratus in your supply?

Mine was an XL. It had a yellow center with a red swirl and a circle of flames around that with a red border (I think there was some Blue as well). The flames looked really good. I haven't seen your IOS ones for, um, obvious reasons. But these look better than i remember the Irish ones looking.

Jon Brakel · July 02, 2007, 09:01:07 AM

Jay, it was fun playing in your group...even though the last 5 holes were brutal for me.

I'll give you one brass for the cracked Stratus if you still have it. You should try throwing the Meteor for Status type throws and see how it does. It probably is not understable enough, but you should try it.

I know I have X Strati. Not sure about D. Not close to the inventory right now.

Bruce Brakel · July 02, 2007, 09:08:38 PM

I have D Strati.
