Be sure to Pre-Order some Ice Bowl Schwag!  5% of all cash sales on Ice Bowl specific merchandise before the tournament and then 5% of any cash sale at the tournament will be added to the donation to Hesed House!  Pre-orders I would appreciate payment ahead of time and then you can pick it up at the tournament.  The advantage of pre-orders are that I can accept Paypal (including all credit cards) for payment.

As long as they don't have any problems with my order, I will have these discs available with the 2008 Ice Bowl Hot stamp/Full Color Stamp:

DX Aviar - $8 (ordering only a few!)
Full Color DX Aviar - $10 (only ordering 5!)
Full Color DX Roc - $10
Champion Roadrunner - $13
Champion Wraith - $13

Elite-Z Buzzz - $13
Elite-Z Flick - $13
ESP FLX Challenger - $14
ESP FLX Surge - $14

An extra special - ESP SuperColor Buzzz - $20 - instead of 5%, $7 of every disc purchased goes to Hesed House!

I also hope to have some Gateway Wizards and Warlocks, but I don't know what flexibility yet (probably SuperSoft)

Apparel:
T-Shirts (Burnt Orange or Stone Blue in L, XL, XXL) - $15 - very limited quantities of each size!
Hoodies (Black L, XL, XXL) - $20 - even more limited quantities!
Navy Blue Beanie Winter Hats - $15
Towels - $10

I may try to get some minis too, not sure - $2.

2008 Stamp design on left below.

Here is my order:

1 XL Burnt Orange T-Shirt

1 XL Hoodie

1 Navy Blue Beanie Winter Hat

1    6-Pack of 2008 Ice Bowl Ale

[stpitner]

According to Rick my order should arrive the middle of next week, so for those of you that pre-order and don't want to wait for the ice bowl you can have it shipped to you for a flat $5 or meeting arrangements can be made (I live in Algonquin and work in Oak Brook, so anywhere near those two locations or on the traveling path between the two places is fine with me).

Can we order thru your website and use a credit card?

[djchill]

Scott i would like a hoddie  in a large thanks Jim

[stpitner]

Can we order thru your website and use a credit card?

I can manually send out invoices through paypal and accept any credit cards that way - but it would require you to have a PayPal account.

I've been looking at online credit card merchants, but I haven't found anything that satisfies what I want for both online transactions and "offline" transactions at a tournament or card show.

[mirth]

can't you set your PP account to not require accounts for buyers? IIRC thats how we have ours set up....

[stpitner]

I'm not signed up for their merchant services at the moment, so I don't think I can set it up that way.  I looked at them for a merchant services - even the mode where you don't even realize you're using paypal to pay, but I'm trying to find rates that are cheaper than theirs.

[mirth]

Ah, yeah. We have a merchant account.

[stpitner]

As of tomorrow I should be receiving 25 max weight range Super Stupid Soft Wizards with the Ice Bowl stamp on it, woohoo!   Gateway's recent runs of SSS discs have been the super floppy, what everyone craves kind of flexibility!  Price has recently been reduced to $13 on SSS product!  These things are going to be HOT!

[stpitner]

SSS Wizards are in!  I scanned in one so that all can see the hot stamp   The rest will be in next week.  Again, $13 cash for one of these guys.  Nice and grippy and floppy!  They are available in 174-175 in white, Orange, and Red.  The red might be only 174 or only 175g, I can't remember.

I have 25 in stock right now!

[Fox Metro Discer]

You know what I want, an aviar DX, beanie and a L orange t shirt.

How does seeded doubles work

[stpitner]

From what Aaron did last year, you are paired up with the person that is in the reverse position as you in the same division.  1st Open is paired with Last Open, 2nd Open is paired with 2nd to last Open, etc.

I didn't hear much reaction from others that played, but I didn't mind it at all.  All I know is that I either a) didn't buy enough mulligans, or b) just had no freaking clue when to actually use them!  My second shot was either not a whole lot better or just plain worse!

[Tom McManus]

Hey Aaron,

Have you made the final decision on sanctioning of this event?

Tom

[godzilla46]

Sorry , the tournament will not be sanctioned and hopefully everyone will still attend the charitable event.

[Fox Metro Discer]

Tom, with the way that I run the tourney, there would be no point in sanctioning it at all. They would not count any rounds towards ratings as the sale of mulligans voids any possibility of this happening. So I am going to keep it unsanctioned. Not to mention the fact that David Gentry did not offer me much info on what I was looking for in the new Competition endowment tier that was to replace the old "D-tier events. It was supposed to lower the cost of the sanctioning fee for charitable events, but it jsut did not seem worth it from the info I was given.
