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.
