Sorry to hear that.  I had a lot of fun out there the last 2 years.

what needs to happen in order for it to happen?

[CEValkyrie]

what needs to happen in order for it to happen?

3 items for me. 1. The Village of Libertyville wanted to charge quite a bit more of a course use fee. Double of what I had paid the previous couple of years. I had to negotiate big time to get them to come down last year. 2. It's a fine line on a date. Too early in the year and it's muddy as heck and possibly flooded. Wait a little long and the skeeters just dominate you at Adler. 3. Setting up and tearing down the course is very difficult. I've had some awesome helpers the last couple of years and appreciate all they have done. I'm pretty burnt out and not sure I want to take that task on this year.

"Aw, why the Deuces Wild change?"


I wanted to put a little distance between the Deuces Wild tournament, and Illinois State, which is run two weeks later on one of the same courses. Makes for a less interesting tournament, and also isn't fair to the J-town boys, who are the best thing going down here in Joliet. So, one of the reasons was out of respect for them. The other reason was that I saw very few tournaments in the Oswego/Aurora area, and I thought they'd like at least one more.

I do like running it at West Park and Highland Park though, so maybe I'll bring it back next year, just on a different set of dates.

also, why only 5 IOS's?

We wanted to make the emphasis on quality over quantity. It is also really hard to give up more than 5 weekends over the course of the disc golf season. Never mind the work we do before and after the tournament. The actual weekend is dedicated to running the event. From 6am on Saturday until 8pm on Sunday.
