Leagues & Tourneys / 2011 DISContinuum Club Challenge
« on: December 23, 2010, 12:36:55 PM »
Tom McManus posted something on Discontinuum's message board about the upcoming challenge..

http://discontinuum.org/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=5025.20

"2011 is coming up quickly. Get ready for another team event in March 2011. New location same format.  This event has grown every year. We hope to be able to accommodate 150 players this year."

I know some of you were looking forward to this event again, so I wanted to pass on the heads up. 

Quick review of last years results: (taken from Brett's post)

Team results:

"After the first round, Jtown had the early lead with Discontinuum and the Streamwood team close on their heels. GRABM and Fox Valley Metro rounded out the competition being in fourth and fifth respectively. Fox Valley Metro had the largest team improvement from first to second round, but it was the marked improvement of the players in the lower pool for the Streamwood Disc Golfer's Union that allowed them to pull ahead and win the club challenge for the second year in a row. Congratulations guys.

Top 8 Lower positions + Top 5 Upper positions multiplied by 3 = Team Score

Round 1:
Team Lower Upper Total 
Jtown 118 33 217 
DGC 113 42 239 
SDGU 144 33 243 
GRABM 168 101 471 
FVM 294 139 711 


Round 2:
Team Lower Upper Total 
SDGU 70 50 220 
Jtown 148 42 274 
DGC 174 58 348 
GRABM 128 104 440 
FVM 310 82 556 


Final:
Team Final 
SDGU 463 
Jtown 491 
DGC 587 
GRABM 911 
FVM 1267  "

Results

What better way to spend a Friday in early July, walking around with good friends in a beautiful park.  The 1st (hopefully inaugural) JTown Club Invitational is in the books.  I had a blast today, thanks to all 153 members that make it all possible.  

Huge thanks goes out to following in no particular order...

Ryan Barcus-- Sweet sweet basket for MPO, thanks for taking the time and energy to make that.  I love that the members were such a huge part of the trophies....

Josh Knight-- You had a great vision for a trophy.  I hope it turned out the way you wanted, it was sick!  That was amazing, wish I won it!! Thanks for the donation!!

Dean Bingham-- Leader of the board :) touch his cards and die :P thanks for keeping everything running smooth and asking all the right questions.  Never would have ran smooth with out you.  Thanks man!

Frank Grimes-- Your house looked and played so amazing.  I wanted to take my shoes off at times cause it looked so nice.  You constantly spoil everyone in this area.  Rings around the baskets makes a C-tier on a Friday feel like playing in a Major!  All the baby trees near tees that are fairly new I hid under today I would say "thanks for the shade Frankie!!"  I'm really happy you got to play...

Randy Moore Sr.-- Thanks the great card second round, I had a lot of fun playing with you.  Thanks a million for the extra CTP donation!!

Jason Poole-- you are my hero with spreadsheets.  Best Scoreport EVER!! If I had a dollar for every time I went to think of something and you already had it done, I wouldn't have to work another day in my life :)  

To all the players-- Thanks for all your patience.  You guys took all the ups and downs in great strides today... Thanks for coming out!!! Hope you had fun!

Congrats to the Winners! You are now a trivia question answer.... Who were the winners of the 1st JTown Disc Golf Club Invitational?

Dave K and Dave Nelson.... NICE SHOOTING!!

If I forgot about you I promise it wasn't on purpose... but thanks :)
