2009 DISContinuum Club Challenge

[Sr.]

Thanks for all the hard work everyone put into the Challenge. It's awesome to see so many people supporting their home clubs!

[Tom McManus]

Thanks to all the Chicagoland Golfers who came out to the 2009 DISContinuum Club Challenge.

Congratulations for Streamwood Disc Golfers Union, they are the 2009 DISContinuum Club Challenge Champions.

Mike Krupicka will soon be posting the final results along with some statistics of the event.  I can tell you that we had 71 players sign up for the Ace Fund 50/50 CTP.  That was $355 with Brett Comincioli winning the 50/50 taking home $106.  There were 3 Aces, all at Bartlett:

Hole 7A  Bruce Pacey
Hole 11  Tom McManus
Hole 18 Randy Moore Sr.

Each taking home $47.00. 

An event like this take a lot of work and I would like to thank the following people:

Mike Krupicka did an amazing job with the scoring.
Tony Battisti  for putting flags out on the tee pads at Streamwood.
Brett Comincioli for his always valuable advice and along with Mike Clark and Dan Michler setting up the temp baskets and the flags at Bartlett.
Bruce Brakel for running Discontinuum bagtags.
Taylor Cimala and Tony B for running the CTPs and to those of you who donated CTPs.
Randy Moore Sr. and Aaron Scott always pitching in.
Scott Pitner for the use of the Scoreport.
Tyler Williams for running the Fox Valley bagtags

Bruce and Kira Brakel get the road warrior awards, coming from Waterford Michigan.  That is what is called supporting your club.

Thanks again to everyone who came out, as this being a free event this time of year, preregistration doesn't make much sense so it takes some time to get things started. Thanks for all your patience and good luck in 2009!

[duain]

it was a beautiful day and nice to see some familiar faces.  thanks to everyone involved. its greatly appreciated.

For the Upper division, the top 6 places were used with up to three players bumping places against other teams, for the lower division 10 places were used with up to three players bumping places. To balance out points for the two divisions, the upper division was multiplied by .77 and the upper division by .23 (This gives a rough 5:4 point value for the upper division vs. the lower lower division).

To give people an idea of how close this really was, if any one of a handful of FVM players hit one more putt, they would have won.

Mike,

I know that I can take the time to figure it out, but can you add a column for upper and lower scores based on the percentages you figured?  You have total scores, but not the percentage scores.

Thanks.

Here are the round points normalized for each round and each division. This makes it easier to see the heavier weighting for the Upper vs the Lower division, though the second round doesn't show it as much (mainly due to ties).

Our Pro Pool actually was better than Streamwood's for the 2 rounds combined.  We need to recruit alot more 900-930 rated players for next years event because we got dominated in the Am Pool.

What a gorgeous day Saturday was for golf. It was great to see 80+ people out for the challenge.

Tom, thank you for running this event. Everything about the day was great.

Krupicka, great job getting the scoring done so quickly.

Brett, I too am a member of all 3. Support your clubs and our sport!

Who got the CTP on 17 at bartlett?

[tacimala]

I believe Elmo did. He was on my card and put his name on it when we had 6 holes left. I do remember him winning a CTP.

I'm also a member of all three clubs. It's a small way of giving back to the game for several positive reasons.  $15 is a deal for all the benefits you get. Can't wait until next years challenge!  Hopefully these clubs will grow to the point where we need a course like Mokena to fit everyone in.

   Location is something Dan, Mike,Tom, & I discussed on the ride home. Hopefully all 3 will keep growing and possibly getting a 4th/5th club involved. It was great seeing some people I hadn't seen since last fall. Some courses we discussed were Cedar Lake, IN, Joliet area, & Rockford. I thought Bartlett/Streamwood was a big factor in getting a lot of members out. For the most part it was in a central area of all 3 clubs. One place we ruled out for 2009 was Lombard  .

im thinking that peoria would be a good site for the next challenge. i know its a haul for most of us but, the clubs involved would most likely want to play these courses. a weekend event would be very interesting. match play? seeded? could be getting bigger based on the number of people involved this year.........           lets keep doing what we're doing for this area and our favorite sport.

Peoria is a good 3+ hours away from me, I doubt I would drive that far for a club challenge. They have fun courses, but I would either want to play there casually with friends or for a sanctioned tournament. There are other areas that would be good to play that are much closer than Peoria - Kenosha, Milwaukee, Rockford, Lemon Lake.
