Entry List has been updated........

[all2common]

Is it really only limited to 90 players?

[Magilla]

Is it really only limited to 90 players?

NO..It is NOT limited to 90 players..that is a typo...

BUT we really need ALL players to sign up prior to the 22nd.
ALL registration by the Rebels will close on that date (including PDGA online registration)

Mt Bachelor will be handling "Late Registration" and WILL be charging a "fee"

We must submit a list of players to Mt Bachelor 1 week prior to the event because they are making "special" lift tickets for ALL players that will have your name on them.

This event is the premier Mtn event of the year.....get your entries in NOW.

Make your plans NOW........

:cheers:

[Magilla]

Did I mention that WEEN is playing in Bend on Friday Night at the Les Schwab Ampitheater.....for all you "Ween'ies"

:D

[discgolforegon]

Yes you can IF thats what you want to do..

Most will camp into the woods a little bit in the Nordic area as we have in the past.
Big Mike Garfield will again be "Campground Monitor"

:cheers:

[all2common]

Thanks, Magilla. I thought I remembered you saying that Bachelor can hold a lot more than 90. Registering before the 22nd will not be a problem for me, but it might take that long for me to convince the the whole tribe to come play.

:whistler: :cop: :wink2:

"Super 9" will be ready for play by the end of today..........sort of... :whistler:

Ryan & I walked the Mtn yesterday AND are looking into the possibility of changing the "layouts" to create 3 - 13 hole courses from the top, for ratings purposes.
:jumpspin::dancing::jumpspin::yay:

Since NOTHING is final on the layouts...there is NO further info at this time.

IF it all happens like we want, there will be 3 - 13's from the top and the 18 hole Nordic course.

This will give us 57 holes instead of 45 for tourney play............

We created 9 or so NEW holes that we feel are some of the best on the Mtn.

More to follow.......Get SIGNED UP.....NOW!!!

Can anyone tell me why this tourney is so bloody expensive? $80 for MA1 is the highest cost I've seen yet. Is this because of the added expense of chairlifts?

[gwillim]

You are correct, lift tickets for two days adds $30 or so to the total fee.

Mt Bachelor charges us $36 per player in fees that cover 3 days of lift tickets and the players party w/pasta feed at the top lodge.
ALL fees are stated on the flyer located at www.centraloregondiscgolf.com

YES, it is expensive.......BUT it is very consistant with the other KOM events.

Ask around, You WILL get your $ worth. :whistler:

Ski Resorts are NOT cheap to play on.....unless, of course, you own one. :wink2:

:cheers:

[Magilla]

ONLY 11 more days until the "Nordic" course goes in...:whistler: :yay:

Alpine 18 and the Super 9 are VERY playable..........:rockon:

Sponsors are stepping up BIG TIME this year............

Much thanks to KEEN, DGA and MANY more who are helping the Rebels make this event a HUGE success.

Mt Bachelor is making personalized lift passes for all players with your name on them. :yay:


Online registration is still OPEN :cheerleader:

[killa]

I hope everyone is as excited for next weekend as I am! This will be my 2nd Lava Launch, and I've daydreamed about this tournament several times a month ever since I watched Mt. Bachelor shrinking in my rearview mirror around this time last year. It's a superlative tournament, in a majestic setting, and very well run. In fact, there's only 1 thing I hope is different from last year: the 7-hour drive from Seattle.

Ideally, I'd like to carpool with one/some of the players travelling down from Bremerton, Bellingham, Lakewood, or University Place. However, there are only a handful of players from NW WA playing in the launch, so I also want to see if anyone is interested in meeting up with me in the Portland area or in Biggs, OR (where Walla Walla & Tri-cities folks will turn off I-84 to head South down 97).

If any of these options may work for you or someone you know, please PM me or call Three-eight-6-3-six-6-three-8-1-four. If not, I'll see you at the Launch! Peace,

-Kyle

:yay:

Today, I will be walking a NEW 9 holes with the Mtn Manager.
If he approves the layout....we will then have 54 holes.

This will give us 4 start points for tee times.
Even though we are playing more holes we SHOULD be able to have better flow. :chug::chug::chug::chug:
(flow of play that is :D )

Rebel Leader (Ryan Lane) is designing the IncrediBowl courses THIS WEEKEND.
He is putting an IncrediBowl amount of work into this "Tour" (KOM).
:trophy::trophy::trophy:
It would be awesome for ALL of us to remember to thank him for his hard work when you see him.

:cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader:

See YOU at the Mtn. :rockon:

That's very generous of you to do that, especially considering you don't even generally PLAY tournaments - THANK YOU!

[Adam Schneider]

"generally"? :biggrin2:

[Scott]

"generally"? :biggrin2:

It's the Latin word for "ever".

I concur. Thanks, map man. :bowing:

[Adam Schneider]

I've made so many DG maps now that I have an Excel spreadsheet template that calculates the headings and distances and sets up all the point data... makes it a lot easier.

[dEuCeDrOpPeR]

:rockon:Kudos (http://www.kudosbar.com/kudos/index.htm) to Adam Schneider!

[dEuCeDrOpPeR]

54 Holes. Everybody plays each hole once.

Final 9 Skins round on Sunday for top 4 cumulative scores (regardless of division)

[essjay]

Hey Mags or Ryan, do you know if we'll be able to have fire pits in the parking lot?

[dEuCeDrOpPeR]

No fires, like always. Big views all day and big sky at night. New drive in camping area with Porta Johns. Nordic facility is closed for this Launch due to some electrical problems, but the course remains and the bathrooms will be open at tournament central all weekend - 24 hours. No showers, sorry.

[dEuCeDrOpPeR]

Course map (http://www.oregondiscgolf.com/course_maps/Lava_Launch_2009.html)

[Dr. Zaius]

ok so, all the courses will be set up by friday, AND entry fee will include friday's lift ticket for practice. i'm going to try to get there as early as possible friday to play at least 2 of these courses.

any chance on finding out what courses my pool will play on saturday? i'd like to practice those first before i get my face melted off by WEEN friday night. :biggrin2:

edit: oh, and thanks for that map. this is going to be bad. ass.

[dEuCeDrOpPeR]

Online reg is closed. There is a $10 late charge for anybody not on the player's list.

so is the 909 course just an extension of the alpine 9 course to be played after you finish alpine 9 (unless you start on 909 like mpo3)?

[dEuCeDrOpPeR]

The Alpine 9 and the 909 will be played as one 18. This allows for an extra starting location, adds some cool terrain to the base area, improves the spectator experience from the lift and/or by foot.

Thunderstorms ok, I'm just glad there's no snow in the forecast... :)

[TreeLove]

Ummm, thunder can surely precede snow.....

[shavonne]

Maybe this time I'll be prepared for it! Hopefully Hoodoo taught me a lesson...

[Magilla]

Maybe this time I'll be prepared for it! Hopefully Hoodoo taught me a lesson...

Snow WONT be an issue...BUT we do play in it and walk across it... :-)

:yay:



All 54 Holes are playable......Rubber Tees are out on the 909 course.

:cheers:

[TreeLove]

Snow WONT be an issue...

And it never rains at an OLE event...

[Magilla]

And it never rains at an OLE event...

:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Seriously though........

It hasnt been cold enough to produce the "crazy white stuff" that we LOVE here at Mt Bachelor.
At night, Its actually been warmer up there than down in Bend.
(40 vs mid 30's)

Thunder storms "shouldnt" be an issue due to the cooler temps. The really wicked storms kick up when its in the 80's-90's. We wont even get close to those temps.

:cheers:

Did I mention that WEEN is playing in Bend on Friday Night at the Les Schwab Ampitheater.....for all you "Ween'ies"

AND.....there will be some Local Bluegrass brought to you by Blackstrap at the Elk Lake Lodge right around the corner from Bachy.
Absolutely FREE 5-8pm 8/29.
