Challenge to DISContinuum from Fox Valley Metro

[tjdub26936]

The Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club hereby challenges DISContinuum to a team tournament at Eagle Ridge in Oswego.  This tournament will take place the first weekend in November, Saturday OR Sunday, whichever date works for both teams.  Format will be match play, the first round singles with each match worth one point and the second round best shot doubles with each match worth two points.  If points are tied after two rounds, a sudden death doubles playoff decides the winner.

Please reply to this post or send me a message if you are interested in captain-ing the DISContinuum team.  If there isn't enought interest, then we won't hold the event.

This will be similar to Fox Valley Metro's event last year against the Streamwood Disc Golf Union.  The singles round will be played from the short tees and the doubles round will be played from the long tees.  Players meeting & match-ups will be at 9AM with tee off about 30 minutes later.

Each team will include six to twelve club members, if one team brings less than twelve, then that lower number will be the number of players participating in the points from each team.  Each teams' roster is limited to twelve participants, with no roster changes for the day.  However, a team with more players could "bench" some members from their roster for one round and play them the next to facilitate better match ups. $5 entry fee for each golfer, victorious team takes all the winnings.

The match-ups will be determined by the captains for each team.  To start, FVM (the home team) will pick who from our club will be in the first pairing, then DISContinuum will select one of their golfers to go against ours.  The second pairing starts with DISContinuum picking one of their golfers, then FVM selects someone to play them, etc.  Doubles would be determined the same way.

As the host club, Fox Valley Metro will be providing a meal between rounds, either food brought by individuals (grilling, chili, etc.) or I will order some pizza & bring sodas.

No Union invite?

This is a head to head match. Last year it was just between FVM and SDGU. This year FVM challenged Discontinuum.

...if it's 'match play', does that mean best score wins head-to-head, or the # of 'holes won'?

Best score wins head-to-head, ties split the points.

I would also play saturday. Who is forming the discontinuum team?

[Chainmeister]

I would be interested in playing one of the exhibition matches that don't count. If Discontinuum has to rely on me they better fold up the tent and leave. In any case, it sounds  like fun and I would like to play.

[Sayer Jackson]

Both Jackson boys would be interested in playing for DISContinuum if needed.  If there are better options, by all means go with those.

[cjordan]

Has the date been decided yet?

Haven't heard any request for Sunday, so we make it Saturday November 6th at Eagle Ridge.

Tom, do you have a roster yet?

[roman]

I prefer Saturday because I want to hit up the doubles event at Lemon Lake on Sunday.

[smyith]

im down for playing on the discontinuum team. day and time aren't important

[smyith]

so is this happening then?

What is the team?

[tjdub26936]

This event is currently planned for the 6th, but we only have DISContinuum members posting that they're interested in playing, not an official roster.  The roster needs to be set ASAP to lock in this event, so McManus should establish it and post it this week.

Long term weather forecast looks good, no notable chance for rain between now & then, partly cloudy in the upper 50's.
