2008 IOS #5 @ Rockford, IL (DISContinuum Presents The ILLINOIS OPEN)

[jimklem]

Just let me know what you need.
I can probably handle the printing as well, depending on specs and quantities.
Happy to help!

I played both courses over the weekend and its looking great.  Except some of the signs on the west course were busted.   Its such a huge park i cant wait to see what the temp course will be like.

[ihatecheeseheads]

The signs on the east course are nice and accurate.  The signs on the west course were cheap and made out of  particle board or  something and half of them were so rain soaked that you could not rely on them. Does anyone know if they will be replaced or repaired?

the baskets on the east course are all moved to the IOS #5 placements, except hole two, i do believe that one will be straight and slightly to the right into the trees so people teeing off on hole three dont get shanked in the head. only a few weeks left, practice while you can.

It's not really a mistake on the IOS page. The IOS page is just pulled the info from the PDGA site.

Ha! We posted at the same time. Oh well.

We have a plan for four pools to play two rounds each day.  This plan allows for three hour rounds with one hour breaks.

When do you think you'll have a schedule available?  Who plays which courses how many times?

Does pre-registration (required, right?) close 9/5/08?  Earlier?

Prereg closes 9/3 at noon.

Watch out for the IVY. Cought myself another minor case again on saturday. Never fails out there!!

We won't have a finalized schedule until we have finalized pools.  Everyone will play all three courses.  Everyone will play two rounds on Saturday and two rounds on Sunday with about an hour between rounds. All of the courses are in the same park, so no one will have transportation problems once they get to the park. 

[Jon Brakel]

It looks like we've raised about enough money for free lunch on Saturday. We're still hoping to raise more to cover Sunday. If anyone knows someone or a company or whatever that would like to help sponsor lunch please have them contact one of us.

If you want in on the free lunch you have to register by the end of the day on Tuesday, September 2nd. This way Bruce will be able to get a count for the catering.

Also, if you are in a division that has no one registered right now, you might want to register right away. Bruce has to order tags for trophies soon and he's not going to order them for divisions that are not represented on the pre-reg page.

People keep telling me that this tournament is going to be huge...get registered today!

I'm assuming that some of the mail-in pre-reg aren't listed on PDGA site yet. Just curious -and paranoid that something crazy happened to the check I sent. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

No mail ins have been added. Mirth said he is going to update the list Friday. All the online store reg's are updated.

[CEValkyrie]

Mostly to the course page for description of the temp course and directions page.
