Seattle SuperClassic - PDGA C tier - Saturday, October 2

2 round of 18 holes at Lakewood to try out superclass :trophy:
__________________________________________________ _____________

Meet at the lower parking lot at Lakewood by hole 14
Check in: 9-9:30am (first come first choice on the discs!)
Player's SuperMeeting: 9:45am
SuperStart: 10:00am

REGISTRATION IS OPEN: I'm going to be restricting the player limit to 40 players maximum (although I doubt we reach that).

The first 20 registered and paid players and ALL of those who register BEFORE September 20th will receive a custom stamped Superclass disc for the tourney. If you register after September 20th, I can't guarantee a disc.

Cost: $14 if you would like to get a custom stamped superclass disc (Hero 235) OR $10 if you would like to play with your own discs (no player's pack). Chainbangerz club members can take $1 off either entry fee option.

Paypal (cefire@sbcglobal.net), check (3411 12th Avenue W, Seattle 98119), or cash in person all work for me. If you are sending a check be sure to send me an email so I know you are IN!

Payout: Most of the entry goes to buying discs and to PDGA so, as usual I'll just have a few things to give away (and probably the Chainbangerz shop will too!), but this will mostly be a chance to try out superclass for a day.

Seattle SuperClassic FAQ:

Will this affect my PDGA rating?
No, PDGA will calculate a SEPARATE rating for superclass, this will have no effect on your "regular disc" rating.

Do I have to pay the $10 PDGA fee if I'm not a member?
Nope, PDGA superclass events have an exemption from the non-member SuperFee.

What discs are legal for SuperClass?
The most common are the Zephyr, Hero 235, Te Moko, SuperStar, and almost all large diameter lids like ultimate discs.

What discs are NOT legal for SuperClass?
Sonics, Condors, Polecats, and regular putters like Aviars, Wizards, and Magics are all NOT SuperLegal for play.

What is the SuperLayout? (This is if all goes as planned, so may change!)
Pins: 1-short left, 2-deep left, 3-long, 5-see below, 9-short, 10-long, Geezer-long, 12-long, 15-short, 16-long, 17-long, 18-long
I've tried to create holes which will be either challenging 2's or that will be challenging 3's (par 4's with SuperClass discs)

Hole 5: For the first round, we are going to play to the long pin on 5 and then play the SuperShort tee to basket 6. For the afternoon, this will reverse and we will play 5 to the short pin and then regular 6.

What is SuperPar?
Holes 2, 5/6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, & 18 will be par 4 holes and Geezer long will be a par 5 hole. Total par will be 65.

Will I have SuperFun without my Boss/Nuke/Katana?
Yup, these things are fun to watch SuperFly and great for developing wrist control and SuperLong range putter/midrange accuracy.

Pinknal's wildest dreams have come true - Superclass is coming to Seattle :trophy:

Mark your calendars for Sunday October 3rd for an awesome day throwing graceful straight lines at Lakewood.

I don't have a ton of details, but as usual the tourney will be ultralow cost and everyone will get a superclass disc in their player's pack and a special surprise too!

I won't ruin the surprise Andrew, I promise! :)

[ChUcK]

Mark your calendars for Sunday October 3rd for an awesome day throwing graceful straight lines at Lakewood.

Done. I keep my Hero 235 in the bag all the time now, and I keep finding more and more excuses for throwing it. Now I have a good one!

Ah, the ever so rare honeymoondivorce.

[Toby Puttzinski]

Oh no, not another 'super' fun event hosted by the infamous Andrew Rivers... we need to clone this guy!!!

[Cold Steel]

Ah, the ever so rare honeymoondivorce.

I figure if I get married in VA on Saturday, I could catch the redeye to make this event Sunday.
What's so hard to understand about that? Perfectly reasonable.

[Toby Puttzinski]

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me... plan to catch the 'redeye' prior to the event as well.

If this one works out, I'm sure they'll be others. Sorry to schedule over your wedding! :slapface: It wasn't on Treelove's calendar :biggrin2:

We tried but Thomas popped out. Now we don't know what to do with him.

[cefire]

Sooo, a little change to the previous plans, we're going to have to move this to Saturday because the first Sunday in October date is traditionally the Seattle Disc Golf Club Championships. I spoke with Lowell and the SDGCC will be happening on that date (an early heads up :))

As an added benefit, Brian's marriage will now last until the first year his anniversary conflicts with an event :)

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2nd is the new date for the Seattle SuperClassic!

you're always so considerate...

[Tim]

Schweet, lookin forward to this. After seeing Toby's inquiries in the other thread, do you know what kind of discs you're getting, Andrew?

[cefire]

I just placed a personal order for:

Hero 235's (Star and Dx)
Zephyr's (Dx)
Te Moko

I'm strongly leaning towards the Hero 235's because after using both the Zephyr and 235 at Lakewood on Sunday, I could throw the 235 further and more accurately. However, the Zephyr has more resistance to turn in general so it makes a good "hyzer" disc for those trick shots. I'm not sure about the Te Moko's because I think the worldwide supply on those things is pretty limited, trying to find 20 or so in a decent weight would probably be pretty difficult.

[LakeStevensBA]

Can we pull out the Discraft 175g Ultrastar if needed? There are a lot of ultimate players with a pile of these sitting around.

[rockhound]

Does anyone know where i can get the regs on what discs we can use for this.

Yes, but you might find the J-Star (Junior Ultimate disc also made by Discraft) with a diameter like the Zephyr works a little better, especially for putting.

[JR Stengele]

Here's another question...will Chainbangerz be stocking some Superclass discs soon?

[sillybizz]

Here's another question...will Chainbangerz be stocking some Superclass discs soon?

YES!! Chainbangerz now has Zephyrs and some other random Superclass discs. I can tell you that these were just stocked today and I have already sold one! They might be going quick. No Hero 235 discs in though....yet.

[Tim]

Sweet! I like the Hero 235s, but I'm interested in trying some other models out too. Any chance of Te Mokos being stocked?

[sillybizz]

Sweet! I like the Hero 235s, but I'm interested in trying some other models out too. Any chance of Te Mokos being stocked?

Slim to none most likely, it seems as if they are hard to find but I'll poke Keith about it when he gets back from vacation. I'm interested in those myself!

[barbikes]

I have a Temoko, a Zephyr, and a Hero 235 and my limited experience (10 casual rounds) has been that they are all quite a bit similar. These are all discs that don't fly as far as your normal everyday putter (Wiz, Aviar, Magnet, or whatever). My theory is that since they don't fly that far disc flight characteristics don't make as much of a difference. My fav is the Zephyr. Temoko is a bit more overstable and Hero is a bit more understable. "Feel" is important in putting and it seems like the Hero feels the most like a normal DG disc.

Good to know, thanks for the insight. I'm a superclass noob.

[cefire]

Just got my Temoko's to try out today, if you want to borrow one, Tim - just let me know.

If anyone out there wants to try out a Hero, Zephyr or Temoko, also just let me know :)

Jeez, good to know that your good buddy Tommy Turbo can't borrow one! Thanks Andrew! :nahnah: :p :cool2: :yawn: :cheers: ;) :)

Haha, I actually had a dream last night that while shopping at Trader Joe's, I found a stack of Te Mokos for sale. So yes, I would very much like to borrow one, and my id agrees!

(They were also selling some rubbery disc that melted in your hand when you picked it up--I'm not so interested in those.)

We should go play a round just using superclass. SOON.

[cefire]

I'll be at Lakewood from 5pm til dark today, hit me up if you want to borrow a superclass disc or two (630-674-8614)

[sillybizz]

Andrew gave me a Te Moko out at Lakewood yesterday and this is the disc for SC. The grip feels much better like it doesn't have such a deep rim like the Zephyr and you can throw the heck out of it because it's more stable than the Zephyr which is like the Firebird of SP apparently. It's going to be a blast. Have fun out there. :)

[cefire]

Yup, I tried out the Te Moko yesterday as well and thought it was definitely the most stable of the three types of discs. However, I still prefer the 235 for now because I have far more control and can throw it the farthest of the three.

BUT, I plan to keep a Te Moko in my "bag" for the tourney for those "big" hyzer shots :) and potentially a roller or two if I can figure that out.

I'm still planning on getting 235's for the event though because they are the only discs I can get for cheap - I'm trying to keep this as close to $10 as possible so you may want to stock up on a Zephyr or TM if you think you'll want some extra stability.

[cefire]

Registration will open at 5pm today, see the first post for more details :)

[sillybizz]

$14 do I look like I'm made of money?! Oh wait... it's only $13 for Chainbangers Club Members? Oh OK that's fine then... :D

My 1,900 post. Just saying.

[LakeStevensBA]

My 1,900 post. Just saying.

and 6 of your posts were helpful....

If that...:D

[sillybizz]

Francis Farmer will get her revenge on Seattle and Thomas Little will get his revenge on you two! Oh Brian so when do the REAL baskets go into Lake Stevens? I bet we could have a huge turnout for THAT work party! :laughing: :rockon:

[cefire]

Superclass lovers unite, I'll be out at Lakewood around 6 or so - Hit me up to try out any of the superclass discs

[Cajun]

Tom are you bashing the baskets at LS again :nono:
I was waiting for someone on the thread about the stolen baskets at Riverside to say "Why couldn't it have been Stevens?" A real move of Gorilla Art would have been to steal, um...er..., I mean replace about 6 baskets at Stevens with real, um...er..., I mean the other baskets and scatter the LS baskets amongst a few other course. That would have been a great DG prank. If anyone wants to try it I say go for it.

The Superclass tourney looks so tempting. I'd love to go out and try and whip up the course throwing forehands with an Ultimate disc but alas I must save my kitchen pass for Fillen Ze Disc the following weekend. Good luck to all.

I want Lake Stevens baskets at Seatac, now that would make for some interesting scores! Someone get Dr. Fred to make more baskets up! :angel:

[ChUcK]

I see the Superclassic is over a quarter full now. I wonder if it will fill? I wonder who will be crowned the Seattle Superclass Champion?

I haven't been this excited for a tournament since my professional beer-pong days.

[sillybizz]

And Andrew finally got my name right on the registration: Thom-ass

http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=10906

[cefire]

Yup, 12 people signed up so far and this doesn't include a bunch of people who have casually told me they are planning on coming. Get in while the getting is good and remember we are only going to 40 people, not 72 or 90!

20 discs are ordered and on their way, remember to sign up before September 20th to be guaranteed a disc.

[sillybizz]

I need to start practicing!!! Come on people!

[cefire]

Almost out of the 20 guaranteed discs that I've purchased for players packs, remember that you need to register and pay before September 20th if you want me to order a disc for you. Otherwise, you can still play for $10 with your own disc but no players package.

[JR Stengele]

Is Pretzel included in my player's pack?

[cefire]

The next best thing - A chocolate covered memento from Pretzel to you

Keith did up some super sweet artwork, thought I'd share :)

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/cefire/ss4.jpg

[cefire]

Final reminder to register before Tuesday if you want a guaranteed disc. I will likely have a few left over due to a shipment error by Hero - I have 8 or so Zephyrs in addition to the Hero 235's.

[cefire]

With a few registering yesterday, it looks like 21 people registered by the 'I need/want a disc' deadline. :yay:

Remember that if you still want to play, its $10 but you will need to supply your own disc!

[D.L.]

Super Classy Artwork- I'm liking the Lines of Headrick:rockon:

[cefire]

Looks like we'll have SuperClear blue skies for this Saturday - 25 people registered and a few more who might be showing up with their own plastic.

Check the first post for all the details!

Make sure to be there by 9:30 (start at 10am) so everyone is checked in and we can start on time. It probably wouldn't hurt to give your new disc a few tosses before the tournament anyway :)

[cefire]

Perfect day out there, thanks everyone for coming out and playing - I know I had SuperFun. Saw a lot of great shots (and a couple of wagon wheels as well!). Micki 2'd hole 18, Aaron banged a 70 or so footer on hole 1, and I almost had my first SuperAce just hitting the lollipop on #1. Wayne won the SuperPutt contest and Brandon outdrove us all on the SuperLong drive contest with a huge Zephyr bomb.

Scores are up: http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=10906#Open

I have no clue how superclass ratings will sort out after final input at PDGA so I guess we will just see :)

[JR Stengele]

Just wanted to say thanks to Andrew and Sheila for getting this thing to happen. A lot of planning and preperation happened, and the custom stamped superclass discs were SWEET! Also, big thanks to Keith and Chainbangerz for the CTP's and prizes. Another fun and fantastically run tournament for our club. Good times were had no matter how bad I played.

[sillybizz]

It was a lot of fun indeed. --Tim-- Was that outfit a take on Will Ferrel in Semi-Pro? It was disturbing and funny but mostly disturbing. :)

WAY TO GO ANDREW!!! ONLY REAL TD'S WIN THEIR OWN EVENTS!!!

[Cajun]

Nice scores, Lil John & Thom-Ass - NICE ! ! !

[Tim]

Thanks for putting this together, Andrew, good times as always! Nice shooting too. Hats off to Sheila as well, I played with her both rounds, and even though she weighs less than one of my socks, she'd regularly outdrive everyone else, and accurately too.

I had a great time out there, and look forward to trying it again, for now though, I think I want to try out these new-fangled little dinner plate looking frisbees I see people throwing.

[JR Stengele]

Nice scores, Lil John & Thom-Ass - NICE ! ! !

As you can see...big lids are not my thing. Supporting the club was about the only thing I did right yesterday.:waaah:

[ChUcK]

That was a fun time, for sure. Sheila was pimpin' her champ Hero all over the place yesterday.

Coaxing a 194g Zephyr around the course yesterday really makes me appreciate my bag full of golf guillotines. I feel like the next time I throw my Striker I may accidentally put it into orbit...

[cefire]

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention our SuperFamous attendee yesterday. Back in the day "Pluto Platter" Coye was the real deal, he was around signing autographs and lending us some authentic oldschool "SuperClass".

Except as Chuck noted, you have to watch out for his patented 'short-shorts' distractor straddle putt. Look in the wrong direction and you might get an eyeful of terror! :puke:

[Tim]

Some people consider a fruit basket a gesture of hospitality.

[JR Stengele]

That's what I'm sayin! Tim, you looked like a true champion.
