Rose City Open - July 11-12, 2009

[Bullseye]

Stumptown Disc Golf is proud to announce the Rose City Open will be held July 11th & 12th at Pier & Trojan Parks. All divisions will be playing 3 rounds of 18 plus the top 4 Pro Men and the Top 4 Adv Men will also be playing a final nine.

We will be accepting registration for the Rose City Open at the Stumptown Tent during the Beaver State Fling. This is the ONLY place we will be accepting entries prior to registration opening online starting on Tuesday, May 26th at 6:00pm. If you want to sign up for the Rose City Open at the BSF please remember to bring cash or a check as we will only be accepting PAID registrations.

Entry Fees + $2 Ace Pot
$60 All pros
$50 All Ams
$40 All Juniors


Please Note:
Although we are allowing 144 players, we will be limiting each pool to 72 players. The A Pool (Open Men, Open Masters & Advanced Men) will be playing Trojan twice on Saturday and Pier once on Sunday. The B Pool (All other divisions) will be playing Pier Park twice on Saturday and Trojan once on Sunday. In the event the A Pool does not fill to the full 72, I will be moving some divisions to the A Pool. We will make additional information available as soon as the registration process starts to flush out.

We have decided to make the ace pot a requirement for this event. In the event the ace pot does NOT get hit during the weekend the ace pot money will be held by Stumptown Disc Golf and used to improve Pier Park. We would like to use the money towards tee signs, but that will be decided at a later date.

I'm sure I forgot a ton of stuff, so... keep an eye out on this thread for the latest greatest news.

Based on how fast the first to ORS filled, there is a very real possibility that registration for RCO could fill at the BSF - before online registration even starts.

So is it just a case of tough luck for the poor bastards who are unable to make it to the Fling this year?

:waaah::waaah:

[Sam]

Answer: Yes.
Solution: You know many people that will be at the Fling next week. Give them your money and your stats and they will get you signed up.

No?

[snap7times]

Ummmm... Intermediate AMS?? Unless ADV and INT same price for RCO?
And about BSF, if you ain't playing, still no excuse not to show up and watch, gosh, all of the top pros in the NW once a year, GO!

I seriously doubt that will happen, but I guess its a possibility. With the way things have been going lately, regardless of how we handle registration someone is bound to be pissed off.

At least I am planning to open registration online at 6pm, so people who don't have net access at work still have a chance.

I don't know... do you have a better idea? Maybe we should just hold a lottery?

Yep.

Scott, if you come to my work at Oregon Orchard and give me a check, I'll sign you up at BSF. There, problem solved.

What Jeff said! Given recent history this is the best way to try and accomodate everyone.

And remember, this is the ONLY way to get signed up other than online. I am not taking registration, Jordan Lewis is not taking registration, only those who sign up at the Stumptown booth with PAID registratioin will count other than online sign ups. With multiple TD's involved we don't want he said/he said arguments going on. We are going to make this the best event possible for all players. Wow! Isn't disc golf in the Great Northwest awesome? :yay:

I had to ask... I know someone would have asked anyways, since INT and ADV are usually priced differently but had to ask had to ask... even if I can't go... Be representing west coast at the Deaf Nationals in Illinois...
and before i go, that should be MA1 and MA2, before the "disc golf police" come and stir up some tickets for mislabeling of divisions...

[Pizzel]

What days and times will the Stumptown booth be open to take registrations during the fling?

[Bullseye]

Should be there all three days, or just find me during lunch.

[Pizzel]

Should be there all three days, or just find me during lunch.Thanks! Can't make the Fling, but I have someone who can bring my registration in.

[Maidenrules]

Hey Jeff, I am not a current PDGA member and haven't played a tourney in awhile. Is there a non member fee I would need to include?

[Bullseye]

Hey Jeff, I am not a current PDGA member and haven't played a tourney in awhile. Is there a non member fee I would need to include?

Yes, non-pdga members will need to pay the additional $10.

[bvdisc]

I like the solution. Props to the Stumptown crew for providing a clear and fair (as it can be in this situation) set of instructions for signing up for the RCO. I'm ready to bring the pain to Trojan.

Note to self... Don't throw your Orc in the water like last year... and definitely don't throw two of Andy's Orcs in the water like last year...

[Sam]

:laughing:

Don't throw ANYTHING in the water. Much better. :cheers:

Do we need to arrange to have a disc vendor available at Trojan? Serious question!

SweetPlastic.com would be happy to vend at Trojan, and they just stocked up on max weight Champion and Star drivers!

[citizens arrest]

jeff I just read the opening post, and read about the ace pot, and would like to commend u on how the ace pot will be used if it is not hit in the tourny. Last year I started a post on the forum that said an ace pot is just what the word means ACE! I think all other td's should learn from this format. The money that could be generated though all the N.W. tournament's that the ace pot was not hit would be mind blowing, if that money went in to a bank account and was used for course improvement for all that would host an event, could draw from the money, that was put in an ace pot, not the closest to the pin pot? anyway great job:bowing::bowing:

[Scott]

So how did registration at the Fling go? Did this thing come close to filling? Most importantly, did that slacker Smothers sign me up or did he run off with my entry fee? :chinscratch:

Sorry about that. Didn't think you'd be able to crack the code. :biggrin2: You know it's all good. As always, I expect we'll be neck and neck all weekend. I look forward to three great rounds with you on my card. Of course, my ideal weekend ends with me ahead of you by one stroke, friend. :cheers:

We have not been able to get things set up with PDGA and working on getting online reg up soon. It will most likely be Titledisc or Stumptown. Jeff is working on it today and will get the information out soon.

We tried to get camping arranged at Trojan for this year but they are not going to let us do it. NO CAMPING AT TROJAN! I really wish we could have done this because it really makes for a fun weekend. Another good idea would be for everyone to camp at Hornings. Is sounds like a long way out but if you look at the maps, by taking German Town road it is an easy commute to both Pier and Trojan. AND think about the glow golf opportunities.

AND you wouldn't be stuffed cheek to jowl into two small and loud group camping areas full of people on crack. :shocked::trophy::cheerleader:

According to my friends at Google Earth, it is 50 minutes from HH to Pier and 1 hr, 40 minutes from HH to Trojan.

What are you walkin' to Trojan?!?!:pirate:

:slapface::blush:Actually it looks like something around 1:30 drivetime if you take Cornpass but the first result I got took some wild back roads like Rocky Point Rd and Skyline Moreland/Dorland/Shadybrook Rd. It says only 1:18 but I bet that's a helluva drive!:pirate:

[Flash]

Maybe Sean Phillips will let people camp at his new place for a fee, he is really close to Trojan and has 6 acres!

Interesting, I did the exact same search as yesterday, but today I got the same results as you (actually, 1:19 but I'll let it slide). Still, that's quite a haul.

Those roads are fun, but probably not when you wake up hungover and late for your morning round.

[Bluedisc]

It would do wonders for my mental health if someone told me WHEN I need to be online to sign up for this thing. :pullhair:

I didn't sign up at the BSF... :slapface:
because I wanted to see how well (or poorly) I would do there...

Please end my agony with a date, time and website. Thank you! :kissflowers:

[Sam]

You'd best read the other thread and send an e-mail right now, McGrew.

NO CAMPING AT TROJAN! .

Bob

Anyone find a good spot to camp? I was hoping for something between Trojan and Pier, seeing they are all ready an hour away from one another.

If there is anyone with a great yard, I'd love to post up in it. I have all I need except a decent size piece of ground to set it up on.

[zippyboy]

An hour from one another? Really? I must drive REALLY fast then....

Oh, and sorry, I couldn't give you any tips on where to camp...

[Scott]

An hour from one another? Really? I must drive REALLY fast then....



Forgive him for rounding up. Google maps estimates 49 minutes.

[Sam]

If you drive north on US-30 past Rainier, there is a campground off of the highway that is actually quite nice. Hudson-Parcher Park at http://www.co.columbia.or.us/parks/hudson.php If you are interested in kicking up your heels and throwing a line in, there are some bass ponds about 1/4 mile from the park.

I would say it is about 10-15 minutes from Trojan.

Thanks Sam!! Called and got a spot, 30$-FridAY-SUNDAY....

RAD....

[Sam]

Have fun. Bring a couple of baskets and you can probably set up a fun little temp course. Or bring a book. There is literally nothing to do at this place if you don't fish or travel with a baseball or soccer team. :cheers:

[Scott]

Some questions regarding course layouts:

1. What postions will the baskets at Pier be in - All long? All short (yeah, right :drool:)? A mix of both?

2. How will the course layout for Trojan differ from the normal layout? I've heard "Same or similar to last year" but that doesn't help me because I didn't play it last year.

3. Will there be mandos or OB in play at either course?

I hope to make it out for some practice rounds this weekend and would like to play the courses as close to the way they will play for the tournament as possible.

[Sausage Fingers]

2. How will the course layout for Trojan differ from the normal layout? I've heard "Same or similar to last year" but that doesn't help me because I didn't play it last year.

That depends on in what flight you are playing. The Saturday layout for all Pros & MA1 (A pool) is significantly harder than the Sunday layout for the rest of the field (B pool). I am sure that there are some online maps floating around that could show you what the different layouts will be. Adam? The only major differences will be the addition of drop zones for after you throw your plastic in the water. No more Tin Cup replays this year. Throw a disc in the water - move to the drop zone.

The Pro layout also has the tee pad for hole 1 moved back down the path quite a bit. That should make the hole play a little harder.

3. Will there be mandos or OB in play at either course?

You are kidding right? Have you PLAYED at Trojan? I think it is possible to throw OB on EVERY hole, with OB water a possibility on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8A(A pool), 9, 10, 11, 12, 12A(B pool), 13, 14 & 15. On 16 you might be able to reach the water but I doubt it. Hole 17 you are probably safe from the water but could still OB on or over the road. Course management will be the deciding factor for playing Trojan.:pirate:

I will be out there working on the course on Saturday. You can come by and ask me any questions that you want.

You're right, that was a pretty silly question. I wasn't actually thinking about water when I wrote that (how can you talk about Trojan and NOT think of water?). I was actually thinking about pathways, such as the ones on hole 3, 6, and 7. On and over OB? Only on? No OB at all? I've seen them played all three ways in casual play.

[TreeLove]

Good question: On path, On path or over, or safe? How about the water behind baskets 2 and 4? And beyond them? And the water behind the basket on 7? And beyond it? And what about that (unnecessary) alleged mandatory on hole 2? Will there be a mando on 14? Saturday only? Other mandos?

One small correction... Path on this hole will be OB for everyone. Even B pool people should be able to keep it in bounds here ;)

Works for me. It will also help keep the fishing/disc golf conflicts down to a minimum on that hole.:pirate:

One final point of clarification (I think):

We remove or cover the regular basket on hole 17 and play from the 17 tee to the 18 basket. Can't give up using the nice new cement tee pads!

[Scott]

Duly noted.

(that made me laugh).

[Pizzel]

We remove or cover the regular basket on hole 17 and play from the 17 tee to the 18 basket. Can't give up using the nice new cement tee pads!Any chance the basket on 17 can be pulled for Saturday's rounds? I will even volunteer to remove and replace it.

[Scotty B]

So does that mean that the layout will be the same as last year for the Int. play at trojan because that was a sick layout and also does anyone have any info about the RCO disc this year saw the art work but what is it going on just out of curiosity mine from last year was stolen from me out at leverich what a bummer I loved that roc it did what is was told to do after many throws.

We'll have DX- Rocs, Champion-Sidewinder, TeeBird, and Boss and Pro-Destroyers. Weights from 150 to max.

Also full color Rocs!

No, it means it will be different.

I also was wondering about pool assignments will they be posted soon because I always like to have a plan set it is part of my mental game and as we all know is a big part of the game any info would be appreciated.

[Sausage Fingers]

Any chance the basket on 17 can be pulled for Saturday's rounds? I will even volunteer to remove and replace it.

As long as we can get the lock unstuck we will pull the basket. Wanye and I will use the gator to store the basket in the shop on Saturday & Sunday to be returned to its anchor after the Sunday round.

And for Scotty B - The pools and times are posted under another thread titled Rose City Open Schedule (http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1840).

It must be getting close, I had my first TD nightmare last night and woke up in a cold sweat!:pirate:

...and i played it last night and from what i saw lots of stuff was short and not in the positions they were in last year.

i would imagine that they will be the same as last year for mpo and ma1 yeah?

Jeff,

Chris is curious if Trojan is going to be setup the same for all divisions. She's concerned primarily about the combo hole where you take hole 12s basket and move it to the next portion of land. She said she didn't play it last year, but I wasn't sure what you guys were doing this year?

Hey Jeff, do you have a time on the switch for Pier? I'll be out there today and would be glad to assist. Plus it will be nice to have a few new line to dial in.

For the B-Pool Trojan will be set up similar to the map you posted with the following exceptions:

A. The addition of Hole 12a. We'll be using the old Hole 13.
B. Hole 14 will be in the short position.
C. The final hole will be from 17s teepad to 18s basket.

[all2common]

A Pool
1. Tee moved back aprox 100'; OB on or beyond parking lot or entry road & in pond left.
2. Tee moved back aprox 100'; OB on or beyond entry road, in or beyond water long and inside fence around power transformer. No Mando.
3. OB on or beyond path around pin.
4. OB in or beyond water long.
5. OB in lake left, in water right & road right.
6. OB in lake.
7. OB in lake left, in or beyond water behind pin & road right.
8. OB in lake. Drop zone across water.
8A. OB in lake and on bathrooms.
9. OB in lake.
10. OB in lake & road beyond. Tee from across pond w/drop zone if ANY OB.
11. OB in lake & road left.
12. OB in lake. Tees to old pin 13 as Par 4. 1st OB goes to 1st drop zone, 2nd OB goes to old tee 13 as drop zone.
13. OB in lake. Pin in longer location.
14. OB in lake. Pin in longer location. Mando left of last tree on right.
15. OB in lake and on or beyond parking lot.
16. OB on road & on or beyond railroad tracks right. Tee from temp pad across entry road.
17. OB on or beyond road. Basket is regular 18.


Is 13's tee from the heli-pad or is it being moved to some other location?

[zippyboy]

Really? Original hole 13? With the teepad across the path, throwing toward the water? Friggin' sch-weet!!!! I miss that hole!

Also, will what is now known as hole 13 be in the long or short position for the B-pool? Just curious. Thanks!

Its going to happen tomorrow afternoon at some time. Dave wasn't sure what time he was going to be able to get out there. Sorry, I don't have a better answer for ya.

[Scott]

Of course. Come on... you know me better than that. :nahnah:

B Pool will be in the short. A Pool will be in the long.

[Scott]

B Pool will be in the short. A Pool will be in the long.

I was not aware that there are two positions for this hole. What position was it in last weekend?

[all2common]

The long position goes out further on that peninsula past a short bushy tree.

[DexterHawk]

When will Trojan be laid out?

[Sam]

As soon as I finish playing it. :whistler:

Wait... you said laid out and not utterly destroyed. Sorry, Andy... :D

[Bullseye]

When will Trojan be laid out?

Jordan is going to be out working on the course on Friday. I would suspect sometime Friday.

Do you know anything about 13's tee pad? There was a mark on the helipad that says "B" on it. I didn't see one with an "A". Is it somewhere else?

[DexterHawk]

Thanks guys

Probably just an oversight on Jordan's Part, there is only one tee pad on that hole, the big helipad the only difference is in the basket locations!

I know Jordan is not going to re-number the course form the original format but due to the extra hole needed due to the combining of holes 17 and 18 he will add in a hole similar to last year numbered 8B or something like that. I am not sure if 17 & 18 are combined for the B pool I am only aware of that setup for the A pool.

[Pizzel]

I have another question:

Will there be a mando on hole 8 at Pier?

[all2common]

Thanks, Flash!

Well I would hope so!

Spoke with Hagerty about this and he said no. He said that when the 8 basket is long, 7 basket would be in the right position. He said that he would put one that would prevent a ridiculous anny but that the mando tree of years' past will not be in play.

[Scott]

Well I would hope so!

Why? It's not necessary if the pin is in the long (right) position.

[Flash]

Why? It's not necessary if the pin is in the long (right) position.

What ever, just because 7's pin is in the long position does not mean everyone throwing that position lands there, I see many throws end up by the short pin either due to error or a kick off a tree! It is still a safety issue for the players on 7's fairway

There will not be a mando on Hole 8, but I will be encouraging everyone to pay attention to potentially errant drives in that area.

Yeah... that's what I was saying, too. I think Jeff goes the anny route. :whistler:

[all2common]

Yeah... that's what I was saying, too. I think Jeff goes the anny route. :whistler:

A lot of us do.

[JMan]

well heck yes, when that basket is in the long the annie is the quickest route. I have been enjoying it in the short, too bad those baskets don't get changed more often.

[Sam]

I used to throw that route, too... until I caught wind of the fact that there was a mando set up for tournaments that would prevent it. Hope I can get a few throws on that hole in before Sunday.

[Pizzel]

Anny are you OK...are you OK....are you OK anny!!!

Get it.....Anny, as in throwing from left to right, instead of Annie, the woman named in the song!!??!!?? Sorry, summer boredom has set in at work.

Dammit, Pinkal... I get to the course yesterday and flip on the iPod and there is Smooth Criminal - right after I read your post. Of course, it is the better version by Alien Ant Farm but whatever.

I fear that I will never be able to throw on that hole again without hearing that song in my head.

And I don't even throw an anny on that hole.

I have had that version stuck in my head all day, at least it is the AAF version not the MJ one.

Can anybody confirm that baskets have been moved to the longs? I am thinking about getting in a round tonight. Thanks!

[JMan]

I spoke to Dave last night, he's moving them this afternoon. Should be done for evening rounds.

[LegoRules]

If you were talking about Pier they were all moved at noon today when we were playing. I couple stayed in the short 12, and seems like another but can't remember now.

Cindy :)

[ryanajanes]

[Sam]

1 is long
3 is same (right)
4 is long
5 is left
6 is same (long)
7 is right

9 is long
10 is straight
11 is long
12 is same (long)
13 is same (short)
14 is long
15 is long
16 is same (short)
17 is long
18 is same (short)

[Pizzel]

Got a round in at Pier last night. I forgot how awesome the course is when baskets are in the long positions. Anyone know if 13, 16 and 18 at are going to be moved before the tourney? Thanks!

These are not the locations I requested. I just talked to Dave and he will be out there to finish moving the baskets tonight. He had to install a new anchor for hole 13 due to damage.

Hopefully this doesn't affect the doubles round, but as long as its all ready tomorrow its all good with me.

There's a long on 16? :puke:

[JMan]

Yes there is, but it's not as fun as the short. It just means if you land short off the T, you can rip your second without fear of flying down the hill. It's longer yes, but it makes the hole much easier, imho

[Scott]

Facing the regular position, the long is past the basket at the bottom of the hill on the left side, in the trees.

[gwillim]

I disagree that the hole is easier when it's in the long. It may be less stressful in the long, but there are far fewer twos, and way more fours in the long.

I totally agree about the mental aspect of the hole though, if you don't crest the hill on your drive, that upshot can make you think in the short!

If everyone just learned how to throw a lefty backhand roller, either position would be fairly easy!!!

[JMan]

Or how to throw an air bounced 168 Rattler :drool:

[Sam]

Damn! I knew I was supposed to be working on something...

If you can do that off the tee and park the long position, I'll give you one of my Ron Russell Limited Edition Z-Comets!

Played Pier this morning. Holes 13, 16, and 18 were still in the short position.

Well not from the T, but as a second shot at the short, oh it's a flight of beautiful proportion.
