I should be out there by 3pm and should be there until at least 6.

[Musich]

Ok, hopefully I can get out there by then, otherwise I will probably just see ya bright and early tomorrow!  Thanks Mike.

Thanks for putting on another great show, Krupicka/Pitner/Brakel.  Course was awesome and the tourney was great.  Congrats to Dana V. on the win.  He's headed toward a bigtime rating at the next update based on the ratings I've seen him throw up in the last month. (1010?)

[Jon Brakel]

Final scores from Saturday are up and my 71st TD report has been submitted!

Great tournament guys! The only complaint I had was the usage of the "f" word. Near the latter part of the course there was a picnic going on and I heard the "f" word used loudly and often, and heard it used around this picnic where there were kids. While some people may not think its a big deal, all it takes is one complaint to a park director and a course could be pulled. I'd just make sure to watch the language.

Sunday first round results are up.

Hey Jon- the PDGA # for Sunday Rec player Justin Cutter is incorrect.  It is supposed to be 49193 instead of 48193.  It might change the ratings for everyone since their ratings are quite different (but he did play in the right division).  Thanks!

Fun, tiring weekend.  Thanks to my brother, Jeff, for learning my checkout system very quickly and was able to help with ringing up sales while I took a breather!

Thank You to all the IOS crew for a great weekend of Disc Golf. Mike, Jon, Becky, the Pitners, Steve, and anyone I missed. Tom McManus you are a Disc Golf contributor like no other. Thanks for setting up and tearing down the temp baskets and pads! Was also fun playing on your card. I'll never forget those birdies on 18!

Randy, my card was on one of the temps, and we saw both of your birdies. AWESOME SHOTS. I especially like Tom's big fist pump. very exciting to see the great competition in the grandmasters division.

great event that always runs smoothly. Thanks to all the staff and for the cleanup crew. that place took a huge hit during that storm.

my day was piss poor. couldn't make that putt that is usually made from 20'  75 both rounds. not how your suppose to play after winning State 


always look forward to the next event with this crew. see ya in August



and thanks to Aaron for running tags.

I got to throw a few holes with Dana Friday when I was out getting the course setup. I can see why he took the win at this event. Great job Dana.

I think I finally got all of the post-tournament work done for this one. I need to improve a couple behind the scenes items to make it run smoother for me. Continuous improvement. Events like this are a lot of work. I appreciate all of the help (Tom, Brett, Dave, Dave, and Aaron) I had in setting up/taking down the temp holes and taking care of other little items that just make things run more smoothly.

I've gotten a couple of comments that people really like the hole changes between rounds. That was the work of some of the local players: Rod, Kris, and ... I actually have no idea who else helped here. It was something that I knew was going to happen, got done, and I didn't have to worry about it. Thanks guys! You have a beautiful course that I wish was about an hour closer to my house.

I appreciate the rest of the tournament staff (Jon, Becky, Scott, Maddisen). It is a team effort. Thanks for being part of the team.

Special thanks to our sponsors:
Discontinuum - $500, fly pads, temp baskets
Fade Gear - $200, four pairs of straps
ABC Discs - CTPs

A couple of other house keeping items.
There were a couple of three legged stools left behind by players. Send me a PM if you think it might be yours. StanK I have one of your discs.

Dag and Kris, we miscounted and you have a little more green coming to you for your 50/50 and Ace throws.

I'm already thinking about next year and how to improve things.

But until then, IOS #4 is next weekend (8/13-14)  in Aurora. We'd love to see you all come out. Get your pre-reg in!

[Tom McManus]

Mike- Thank you for all the hard work.

[stpitner]

Huge thanks to Mike for running this tournament because if he didn't step up, I don't think the tournament would have happened!
