This one is a little different. The tournament is called "Deuces Wild" because the player in each division (minimum 3 players per division) that scores the most deuces will win a special players pack, regardless of where they place in the tournament.

This tournament plays one round at Westpark, and one round at Highland Park. Both parks are very close to each other, so travel time shouldn't be much of an issue. Having one round at each park should keep it interesting all day long.

The players are to meet at the pavilion above hole 8 at Westpark on both days.

Pre-registration closes at 9pm Friday, July 9th. Registration the day of the event is an additional $5. Pre-registration is available at www.acesandchains.com


Tentative Schedule:

Saturday: Jr divisions, Recreational, Advanced

Sunday: Novice, Intermediate, Pro Open

Registration will be open from 8am-9am both days. Players meeting at approx. 9:15am, and tee off at approx. 9:30am both days.

Hey Frank, I think you jinxed me! Lol.

After you posted that, my wife informed me that I should have a backup in case she can't help (long story.) And, I had already been informed by my co-TD that he has decided to move to Colorado. Needless to say, I was starting to get a bit nervous about the whole thing.

But, we all know how great the sport of disc golf is, and how helpful people can be if you give them a chance. I spoke with Thor, and he has tentatively agreed to co-TD both events with me. That was a huge load of worry off my mind! Then, on Saturday, I received another offer to help with setup and registration in the morning. So, I am back to being all set with a team of experienced people around me.

I am planning to have a well run tournament that starts on time, and finishes up smoothly. Everything is coming together well.

Thanks again for all your advice and help.

Darrin is asking for $150-200 from anyone who wants to sponsor a pad. $150 should cover most pads, but $200 will allow them to do the more difficult ones, or to pool the extra $50 from each donation to add even more tees.

Talk to Darrin at leagues for more info, or to sponsor a tee.

I'm trying to decide what to put in the AM's players pack.....

I could put $10-15 of Ace card money to spend on plastic, etc.

Or I could do a select your own tournament stamped disc for a players pack (though this would eat into the prize money more.)

Am's are only $25 with PDGA number, so the players pack could significantly effect final prize money too.

What does everyone else think?

Almost forgot to mention - dates are June 26th & June 27th.

Thanks Kev....see you there.

This event is only $25 for amateurs if you are a PDGA member. Here is the info on the event in Channahon:

June 26th & 27th:

AM/Pro C-Tier tournament playing 2-18+ hole rounds for a total of 36+ holes. Extra holes may be added as needed. I should have enough baskets to have the usual 4 temp holes. Cash payout for Pros, $100 added to the Pro cash pot.

Channahon is one of the premier disc golf courses in the Joliet area. This is the best kept course in the area (Great job as always Frank!) Come out and enjoy the beauty, and the challenge of Channahon.

I received the trophies yesterday, and they look fantastic! See below for a sneak peak at each trophy. I could only attach 4 images, so the advanced trophy is not pictured. But, you get the idea....

Thanks, Patrick.
