...Bring your tag and your game...

Will there be a laptop on site for easy input and sorting of tags? When we tried this last year without a laptop it was a mess. I don't know who did it this past weekend but it seemed to work out alright. I can bring mine if it will help.

[pickax]

Since tags are required, I put a spot on the leader board cards for the bag tag numbers. It shouldn't be that complicated. (If you want to bring your laptop in case what I think will work doesn't, it would be a nice backup).

[stpitner]

I can make sure that mine is fully charged and bring it along.. maybe we'll have dueling laptops!

Hey Mike,

I know this is not going through the proper channels but I believe T-Doggggggggggggg Miller is going to be at the event tomorrow.

[mirth]

I'm not surprised. Terry usually brings a contingent down from wisconsin for the invitational.

[jimklem]

Some Satin Solstice Imperial Stout should take of that cold, Mirth.
Hey, did you hang onto the bagtags that SOME people forgot in Rockford?

[Paizzon]

I don't know how I pulled this one off, but I will be there tomorrow. On my 16th wedding anniversary. I'll buy here a nice new pink disk, then everything will be o.k.   Riiiiiiiiggghhht.

Good luck with that, Mike!

Since I'm not getting cancelled from work, I won't be there....I'll be asleep

Have a great round everyone!!

Hey there guys,

I am rolling down there tomorrow with Scott Reek. 

I meant to post this earlier in the week but if there is anything that people are looking for and they know I carry it, please call or e-mail me immediately and let me know.  Of course I have tons of random discs but any of the odds or ends is what I am thinking you might be looking for, metal minis, blue chairs, dvds, etc.  Again, shoot me an e-mail or text or something and just let me know!  414.803.33307

See you in the morning.  The trophies I have received from the past 3 years have been some of the nicest trophies ever and I am looking forward to battling it out with everyone tomorrow.

Good turnout today!

Although I didn't play particularly well either round today I wanted to post about the great time that I had. 

I see great guys like David Nelson and Doug Walker at many of my events but rarely do I have the chance to play with them.  Today was a great opportunity for just that.  I probably talked more than usual (I know, only one can imagine how much talking that is) but it was great to get fresh new perspectives from nice guys like them.

Providing the lunch was a great touch.  I was happy to donate to Sr, some cause, the club or whatever it goes to.  Thanks again for providing such a service.  I don't recall ordering the rain at any point so I didn't tip for the 'rain ala mode'.

The ordeal regarding bag tags is always challenging yet it's a staple as part of the event.  Thank you to everyone that fights so hard to make that all work out in the end.  How in the world do I come with one tag number and leave 8 hours later with that exact same number? 

The extra games (such as putting and long drive)  are fun too because you don't do those at most events.  I'd like to thank Diabetic Dave for rolling over for me in the final championship title bout.  I mean, he was just doing that to be nice right? 

Again, both Scott Reek and I had a great time and I look forward to next year being my 5th year at the Club Invitational.  It's a great idea and it's refreshing (and promising) to see so many people step up to take on a task and pull off this event.  Thanks to everyone that had anything to do with the event and I hope to see many of you at the next LDS event I run!

Thanks for you all coming out for my first tournament as TD. It was a fun (albeit wet) time. Brett, thanks for adding the couple of temp holes and taking care of miscellaneous I didn't see. Adrian, thanks for taking care of lunch. In taking care of the all the TD type stuff I think I missed the donation can. That will be remedied. Aaron, thanks for looking over my shoulder and helping me get tags right. Even Patti helped out getting the CTPs ready. Tom thanks for running the putting contest and long drive contest. Now there are others that probably helped out (like Mike Clark strolling out in the rain to fetch the last two CTPs), but the day was a blur and I'm terrible with names. While I might not be able to recognize your help publicly here, it was still very much appreciated.

CTPs were donated by Prime Discs, Sergio Correra, iPlayDiscGolf.com, PaperOrPlasticSports.com, and Jim Klem (and at least one other person ...Terry Miller?. Again there's that blur thing going on).

There are some things I learned like turn off your phone so I don't get calls from a player telling me that they are 15 minutes away or that there have been a few questions to the PDGA office about some of our pre-reg list. (Dave Felderberg, Valkyrie Jenkins, and George W Bush never showed).

And for those that humored me with the mystery box:
The answers were
D - Comet
SRP -Crossfire
D - Xtra
Dx - Beast
Pro - Banshee

Finally what you all really care about: Scores are posted.

BIG THANKS to Mike, Mr. and Mrs. Gutierrez, Brett, and the rest of the crew!
Tons of fun!   
Tons of food!   

[Fox Metro Discer]

Thanks DISContinuum! I am so glad to be a part of a club that does so much for the sport in general as well as give back to those members that help support them!

I had a great time and 2 great cards to play with (with the exception of having to play with Diabetic  ) The food was frickin' fantastic - Thanks Adrian! As Patti said, "Just like a meal at home."

Thanks again to everyone involved in making this happen.

[CEValkyrie]

Awesome time yesterday!

Thanks to Mike for stepping up and running the event.
Thanks to Adrian Sr. for lunch.

[SERG]

Ditto on all the above the comments:
Real Fun
Great Food
Great Company
Terrible playing on my part 

I really liked the "Guess The Disc" even though I didn't play it.
