IOS #2 @ Lombard, IL--05/31 & 06/01 2008

[mirth]

Thanks for the reminder Bruce.

Yes, preregistration for IOS2 - both mail-in and online - closes on 5/25. I will be out of town that week and won't be back until after the tournament.
Checks received while I'm out of town will not be processed for the tournament & I will contact those people to see what they want to have done.

[Bruce Brakel]

In order to encourage early pre-registration, and because it seems to be a fair way to allocate scarce resources at a discounted price, anyone who pre-registers can also pre-select one of several players packs we have in limited numbers.  These are the player packs:

The Throw Innova Player Pack.  Your choice of one tournament stamped CFR Destroyer, or one CFR T-Rex, or one Star Excaliber, or one Star Wraith or two DX San Marino Rocs.  Later today I hope to post a spreadsheet with colors and weights.  The Junior Girls club is working on that right now.  If you want one for your player pack [or two San Marinos] you can also specify color and weight from the list I will post later.  These will have the Aztec sun dude on them and will also be available for Brass, 18 or 20 each.  I can remove the sun dude from the CFR.  I can try to remove him from the Star. 

The Throw Discraft Player Pack.  These are worth 20 Brass towards my already discounted Discraft.  I'm not doing a Discraft order for Lombard because I'm doing a DGA order for Lombard, so my Discraft selection will be less than normal.  I have a limited number of these.  I'm also holding off on Discraft this time because I want to get a basket next time. 

The Throw DGA Player Pack.  These are worth 20 Brass towards DGA which should be priced similarly to Discraft.  We'll have Rogues, Tsunamis, Blowflies, Shockwaves, plus whatever we still have from last year, Riptides, Titanics, Reefs.  We'll also have some hats, shirts and other DGA swag.  Tom McManus, if you are saving for the DGA basket, these are good towards that too. 

I cannot guarantee that any of this will be available to those who do not pre-register.  I just don't know if I will be able to create three special player pack certificates and finish trophies and get my beans and tomatoes planted this month.  So I'll have to prioritize.  I've already cut out TV watching and bocce in May!   

So Step 1 is pre-register.  Once your name is up on PDGA.com or i have other confirmation that you have paid, you can select a player pack by requesting it here or communicating it to me some other way.  When I confirm your request, that means it is bagged and in the player pack frozen waffle box with your name on the bag.  Maple syrup is extra.

I'm in for both days (lousy performance at BG dropped my rating under 850) see you all in AM4 & AM3.  I'm thinking one CFR Destroyer (max weight) and a DGA pack.

Kudos to you Bruce for putting bocce & TV aside for the IOS series.  You guys ran a great tourney last time & I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

The Excel spreadsheet of what we have custom stamped is attached to this post.  You have to be logged in as a registered message board user to see it.  Signing up to use the message board is free.

Since I'm giving you guys first crack at the limited number of CFR discs and custom stamped Star Excallies, I'm not going to hold them back from the casual buyers in Michigan.  I've had lots of asks for these Excalibres and Innova only had 20 available for me. 

Note the three Eco KC Rocs.  We can work out some kind of player pack for those.  In fact, once you've pre-reged, I have enough Throw Innova sponsorship that we can work out any kind of 20 Brass player pack you might want if I have the stuff in stock. 

[Bruce Brakel]

I mentioned to Zeb that he could substitute freely and if Travellers were in short supply, he could substitute other stuff for those.  Other stuff included Ript, water bottles, t-shirts, hats, towels, can openers, key chain tags, 2007 USDGC DVDs.  Pre-reg and lets make a deal here. 

[JCthrills]

I'll go with a Blue D on one of the 170 OJ CFR Destroyer

[Bruce Brakel]

I've got you in a bag but i'm not dying the disc until the pre-reg people get you on the PDGA pre-reg list. 

[JCthrills]

Cmon pre-reg people!  I looked to the PDGA site for a pre-reg link too, I thought they got the B-tiers up a few weeks out, guess not.

[pickax]

Brett usually posts the pre-reg, but my guess is he is focussed on Sinnissippi this week.

[Bruce Brakel]

you pre-reg for IOS tournaments at store.discontinuum.org  .  It is up to the tournament staff to put the names up on pdga.com.  For tournaments that have the pdga sponsored pre-reg, it is still up to the tournament staff to put the names up on pdga.com

You know I should have realized that when Mark was putting in nicknames for pre-reg at ACC.

three Eco KC Rocs

what are these? i'd like an eco kc roc....is this a typo?

[Bruce Brakel]

O.k., i thought they were the new Eco Rocs but now i'm not sure.  They are swirly grey plastic.  They say KC Pro Roc on them.  Maybe they are color-change discs and not the new Eco Rocs.  Sometimes Innova changes plastic color without cleaning the machine and produces funky stuff like this. 

I saw Cahill and Battisti pending in the store.  I'll go to work on your player pack requests when i get home. 

If you want a grey swirly KC Pro Roc that is not necessarily an Eco Roc, pre-reg and request it.

10-4.

I will pre-reg, but it might have to wait until I get paid.

Thanks

Bruce, I have a few questions for you about the pre-reg player's pack. I pre-reg'd today for both Saturday and Sunday. My questions are:

1. Once my pre-reg shows up do you want us to email you or post it here about what disc or player's pack we want?
2. If I pre-reg'd for a trophy only does that count towards the pre-reg players pack?
3. Since I am pre-reg'd for both days, can I reserve two player's packs?

Thank for all that you do for the IOS. It is much appreciated.

Alot of the new Innova I have seen recently is kind of swirly like they injected faster & weren't mixing the plastic as much.  My new Destroyer & Xcaliber are both kind of swirly, very much so compared to my 1st run Destroyer.

IOS #2 @ Lombard, IL--05/31 & 06/01 2008

USADGC Qualifier

Is this for 2008 USADGC?

[Bruce Brakel]

Bruce, I have a few questions for you about the pre-reg player's pack. I pre-reg'd today for both Saturday and Sunday. My questions are:

1. Once my pre-reg shows up do you want us to email you or post it here about what disc or player's pack we want?
2. If I pre-reg'd for a trophy only does that count towards the pre-reg players pack?
3. Since I am pre-reg'd for both days, can I reserve two player's packs?

1. Either is good.
2. Trophy-only counts.
3. Two pre-regs gets you two player packs.

Also, just a reminder to every pro but Spike, a pro can buy the player pack for $10.  We've always done this but only Spike ever buys in.  So Spike does not need a reminder.

No. None.
