2010 DISContinuum Presents IOS #2 @ CROWN POINT, IN May 22 & 23 The Iliana Open

[Bruce Brakel]

Qualifying for Am Nationals

The Top 20% rounding up including ties and skipping over pre-qualified players will qualify for Am Nationals.

Nine of our 21 pre-registered players are pre-qualified.  If these players finish in the top half of the field, qualifying could go as low as 10th-14th.  As more players pre-register for advanced, more players will qualify and probably more pre-qualified players will be in the field.

If you've wanted to qualify for and play Am Nationals, this tournament will offer a great opportunity to qualify. 

I qualified last weekend at Lexington!

Currently $2,900 added cash to MPO-Open. 22 remaining spots avaliable in the A-Pool.

There will be quite a few CTP's with items donated from Paragon,Glide, WIDYE, Springfield DGC, & DISContinuum DGC.

There were a couple revisions made to the handbook (sponsors, Homie date, stuff like that), the new one is now available here:

No tournament specific details change, although mention of the Vibram putting competition is also now mentioned.

I qualified last weekend at Lexington! 

Apparently I qualified with my mediocre play at Hamilton last year.  Qualifying has never been so easy!  Wish I could go to Am Nats this year, but its not realistic.  Maybe next year.

As for Lemon Lake, I am incredibly excited for this event this weekend.  This will probably be my only A-tier this year, so hoping to make a solid showing!  The weather looks great, the courses are fantastic, we just need more advanced players to start signing up for this thing!

I can guarantee this is going to be just a fun, well-organized event.  Advanced players, please sign up now.  Do not miss out on the fun.  Its only 50 bucks for a high quality 4 round A tier event.  You aren't going to beat that.

[Jon Brakel]

19 spots remaining for Pool A. My guess is that this time tomorrow I'll be able to run payouts for Pool A.

Dan, you can't make the GPO this year? Going to be a great event once again. Bradley, Morton, and McNaughton. Always a great weekend.

Believe me Doug, I'd love nothing more than to play the GPO.  I was very disappointed I had to miss it last year.  But, my wife and I are expecting a child near that time and it would not be wise for me to leave her that weekend to go play disc golf.  I'm hoping to be back in action for the July 17th Sterling event.

Mad City falls on my sister-in-law's wedding day this year as well, so I don't have much luck this year with getting to play big events.  Just have to make the most of the ones I do get to play!

What a great weekend!

Similar week of forecast for Springfield this past weekend. I can't even begin to imagine getting paid to read a computer screen on TV with a title more than broadcaster.

[pdga#7648]

yes, Dan. A wise move, not to plan a disc golf weekend when expecting a child. Congrats on that. That was the reason I took all those years off from competing in tournys from 1999-2008. I know I am a better dad than a disc golfer 

I'm sure you will do just fine this weekend. If that gold course plays anything like Blue Valley at Worlds last year, you should tear that up as well.
I'm like you though. Hope to see at least 15-20 more advance sign up before Friday?? 22 just doesn't seem like a A-TIER event.

Good luck to you.

[stpitner]

start contacting your facebook friends or local guys you know that also play, encourage them to come out.  Nothing beats word of mouth to spread news of an event!

[Robert Radtke]

I just signed up for IOS 2 but forgot to put my pdga number. its #37983 and im playing recreational. thanks, Bob.

[Bruce Brakel]

Marriage and a baby.  Congrats, congrats.  I'm hoping you married the chick who comes out to tournaments and carries your bag sometimes, but if not, I can understand why you'd be busy!   

[Dan Michler]

Thanks Bruce.  Only a handful of Joliet-area advanced players currently signed up.  Many of them have started playing Open, but still you'd think we'd get 35 for a 50 dollar A tier.  The Homie last year had 34 advanced.  Hopefully there are some last minute reg's still to come.  An advanced event in Lansing, MI is probably keeping away MI ams and Indiana just doesn't have a large player base.  We need the Illinois players to show up.

At least the Open field is going to fill.  Thats always a good sign.

[stpitner]

Jason Poole will be taking pre-reg's at J-Town doubles tomorrow night.  I'll be taking pre-reg's at Oswego Handicap league Thursday night.  Make sure to get in!

[CEValkyrie]

Wow! What a crazy day. I have been entering names nonstop!

There are only 2 spots left in the A-Pool.

Online registration closes Thursday at 10:00PM. Please spread the word. This event is going to be a MONSTER!

[Jon Brakel]

There's 27 advanced right now with 2 more this morning in the store. I'd bet we'll be over 35 before Friday is over.

[pdga#7648]

up to 30 advanced now. thats a lil better. how's bout 40??

[Jon Brakel]

MPO, Men's Pro Open (Pool A) is full!!!! No more Men's Pro Open registrations will be taken.

[Jon Brakel]

I'm happy to report that the guy who got the last spot in MPO is Aaron Alinowski who is one of the two full-time grounds keepers at Lemon Lake! The other grounds keeper, Rudy Spiller, is an amateur and will also be playing. If you see or play with these guys this weekend please thank them for all their work. I know they get paid for it but it is also really nice to be appreciated for the work that one does.
