Two one day events at the Sinnissippi course is  great news. This is a course that should be on everyone's must play list.

when was this decided brett it is awsome

We've been working on a venue for IOS #3 since the Mokena deal fell through. We've also been looking for an opportunity to work with Scott since at least last year. This seemed like a great opportunity to combine efforts. Bruce will be there but without his usual helpers so he can come out without bringing his merch.

[Bruce Brakel]

We should have left my appearance a surprise.  It might have helped with attendance.

Well if you're not bringing your merch what is left for you to do but bug me non-stop? Some people might pay extra to see that! 

[Chainmeister]

Don't take it personally Bruce, but I'm not going.  I will be in Colorado but will get a chance to play Aspen. I wish I could play Sinissippi.

[tacimala]

Ah nice, I haven't played Sinissippi and the dates aren't in August now which means I can probably play!

when was this decided brett it is awsome

Last Sunday at IOS #1
I had to discuss the details with Scott Pitner www.paperorplasticsports.com
There were many factors involved with the decision but I think it was a good decision.
1. Venue for IOS #3 was a problem.
2. I was a little understaffed last year at Sinnissippi so things should run smoother with the IOS team.
3. This will be a Pro B-Tier thanks to the support of DISContinuum.
4. The best for last. I get to play!

I'm assuming we can expect the same alternate holes? Those were SWEET, especially the cliff hole.

[duain]

this is gonna be fun. i go play sinnissippi every other sunday, when my wife goes to see her folks in sterling.

there has been some slight changes at the park.

holes 1, 3, 5, & 6 all have a 4th pin location now that add a different challenge to the shots. definitely worth checking out for basket positions at the tourney. the rest of the holes still have 3 pin locations.

hole 2: the big dead tree in the middle slightly to the right of the fairway has fallen, but they planted 3 other trees in its place. also 2 other dead trees up close to the basket positions have fallen down, but its better, you dont have to worry about branches falling from it anymore.

hole 9: after they moved the pad over about 100ft to the left, cause of discs going in peoples yards, the park district built up the baseball field. now its not an open straight shot, you have to throw over a slight incline in the land.

if possible can the walking path be closed. if not expect 20 min delays on holes 3,4,5,&6. every time ive played there this year someone has had to go and stop bikers and walkers cause of a backup at those holes. we had 15 people (most were in 3somes playing, it wasn't one big group) waiting over 20min to shoot hole 3 a week ago. this was only an ok weather day imagine a nice day.

cant wait to play some temp holes there. they were awesome last year.

prereg is online @ the club store

[stpitner]

exciting stuff - I'm already pumped!  Now someone just has to make sure that the baby doesn't come a couple weeks early.  I have the ok from my wife to still be at the event with all the merch even if she goes into labor (cuz that's how cool she is!!!) kid #1 popped out in 4 hours, so even if I packed up and drove to the hospital immediately I'd still probably miss kid #2.  So yeah... should be some fun times!!

brett - jon - ios crew, we should probably have some sort of mini discussion about how to best handle funny money as far as accepting paper brass from waukegan or crystal lake.  it would have to be my reward dollars going out for that particular weekend - but regardless, there's time to discuss through PM's, emails etc.

[stpitner]

It looks like Paper or Plastic Sports Reward Dollars will be issued at this tournament, and of course any or all Paper or Plastic Sports Reward Dollars will be accepted at this event.  If you want to spend some of the IOS Funny money, we can probably work out some arrangements, but it would be best to spend that money with Bruce when he is out here at IOS #2 and #4.  Since the brass expired, it's not like everyone has this mass horde of IOS Funny that they've saved up and won't be able to spend at a later date.  Paper or Plastic Sports Reward Dollars WILL be accepted at any event where I am set up to vend.  The full calendar can be found at www.paperorplasticsports.com (dates subject to change at any time).

I sent an email to Jon about using my registration money from Waukegan to pay for my registration for Sinissipi tournmanet.  Can someone please verify that this is ok....Jason G

[thedraphter]

Not to be the weird one, (Yeah I know, too late).  I'm trying to save up for a mini basket.  I saved my Saturday and Sunday players packs, and plan on doing that at every tourney.  The only problem is at this tourney.  I really like Scott, and appreciate the way he runs tourneys and merch.  Is there a way I could get IOS Paper Funny Money instead?  Or can we work something out?  If not, I might be able to get a couple discs, and sell them, and use some real money to make up the difference  when I need to actually buy the Mini Basket.  Of course this would all be a moot point if I would get my head out of my Hind end on Sundays, because I am capable of finishing in payouts.

I'm open to any and all ideas...

Peace,

[Bruce Brakel]

We will probably be able to work something out.  If Scott's prices are similar to mine, I can buy some IOS paper money from Jon and trade for your "Scott Bucks" and then spend your "Scott Bucks" on stuff I need.  I don't think it should matter to Scott whether I'm buying his stuff or you are.  I can't guarantee that I can do this deal for everyone, but I'll try to bring enough cash to do it for people who ask. 

I will try to get the mini-basket on my next order and then put your name on it.

Jason, I didn't see your e-mail. Tom McManus, can you answer Jason's question? I'd asked that Discontinuum refund his entry fee. If you haven't I then you can put it on Sinissipi...if you have then I guess Jason has to re-register.

I will follow up tonight.

[stpitner]

Dave O - I also have a mini basket (chrome top) in stock that if you wanted to combine your Reward Dollars with IOS Funny I can likewise work something out, and then spend the IOS Funny on Bruce's merch.  It would just save Bruce from having to order one (btw Bruce, last I checked, Innova was reported as out of stock on those).
