Third Annual Jericho Lake Ice Bowl - Sat, February 21, 2009 - Aurora

[stpitner]

I wanted to start a separate thread for Fox Valley's Ice Bowl at Jericho Lake since the other thread is talking about Ice Bowls in general and not always about this specific Ice Bowl.

While it's non-sanctioned, there is plenty of bang for your buck at this event.  This event is designed as a fundraiser for Hesed House in Aurora.

Entry fee is 2 canned goods plus: Pro's $40, Am's $30, Juniors $15

Every AM/Junior player will receive a $15 Reward Dollars player pack redeemable for any of the merchandise available for sale from Paper or Plastic Sports.com.  There will be 2009 Ice Bowl merchandise at this tournament.  Special to this tournament: 2009 Ice Bowl Stamped KC Pro Aviar's.  We'll also have a bunch of other discs and apparel all featuring the Ice Bowl stamps and logos.

$10 from every Pro entry fees will go to Hesed House.  The remainder will be added into the cash Pro Payout.
$10 from every AM entry fee will go to Hesed House.  There will be reward dollar payouts based on the PDGA payscales to all AM divisions.

1st round is singles, 2nd round is seeded doubles.  Mulligans will be for sale - all money from these go to Hesed House.

all that swag caught my attention

kev c  -   roadtrip  ?

[bigeric]

Scott, can you explain this seeded doubles setup that is going to happen second round?  Are the scores a total on the day or just from the first round?

[duain]

just pre-reged. gonna be fun cant wait. this will be my second tourney since knee surgery (took 1st in intermediate at the arctic blast doubles in rockford). cant wait for constant warm weather and plenty of disc golf. 

[stpitner]

Scott, can you explain this seeded doubles setup that is going to happen second round?  Are the scores a total on the day or just from the first round?

Your scores are based on the total of the 2 rounds.  Payouts are the same as if it would be singles for the entire day.

The way the seeded doubles work is that for round 2, whoever was best in round 1 will be matched with the worst score from that division in round 2.  2nd highest with 2nd lowest, 3rd highest with 3rd lowest, etc until people at the middle are matched up.  If there is an odd number of players in a division, the person in the exact middle will get to play cali for the 2nd round (essentially 1 free mulligan per hole).  The score in the first round is very important as you want to finish in the top half to have a chance at winning - if you're paired with someone that shot better with you in the first round you won't be able to win (because you and your partner are guaranteed to score the same score for round 2).  It helps give the day a more enjoyable feel with a mix of singles and doubles, and you're supporting a great cause as well.

Does anyone know if there are going to be any gateway discs here?

[stpitner]

I will be the vendor at the tournament, and yes, I do carry Gateway Discs.  Send me a PM with what you are looking for and I'll see if I have it or will be able to get it before the tournament.  I do have some SuperSoft Wizards and Stupid Soft Voodoo's on order to come with the Ice Bowl stamp on it.

The 3rd Annual Jericho Lake Ice Bowl Pre-registration & Information

[Tom McManus]

How is the course looking? It doesn't look like it is going to warm up much this week.

[4u2nv]

course is looking frozen, bring ice cleats if you got them

[Sr.]

How is the course looking? It doesn't look like it is going to warm up much this week.

Looks like only 4 or 5 holes will have ice ponds in play. I was out there today and it looks pretty good compared to a week ago. #2 tee box is actually clear now. The weather looks like cold in the forecast and some precipitation which means it will be a true Ice Bowl! We will try to keep the tees in excellent shape. They are all clear right now.

[jack]

The score in the first round is very important as you want to finish in the top half to have a chance at winning - if you're paired with someone that shot better with you in the first round you won't be able to win (because you and your partner are guaranteed to score the same score for round 2).

Just to clarify, you still have a chance at cashing if you finish in the lower half after the first round. Your post wasn't confusing, Scott, I just wanted to clarify since I spent the better part of an hour puzzling that out. Yes, I'm a dummy...

[4u2nv]

Yes you will still have a chance to cash you just will not be #1.  If you and your partner go -20 for 19 holes your partner who finished in the top half will still beat you in overall scores.

[jack]

Yes you will still have a chance to cash you just will not be #1.  If you and your partner go -20 for 19 holes your partner who finished in the top half will still beat you in overall scores.

Well, of course. That's obvious!
