Hope Open October 2010 - October 30 - Wilamette Park

[shavonne]

Hello friends!

It's time to start thinking about the Hope Open again!
It will be Saturday, October 30, 2010 at Willamette Park.

This is year two for this event, some things will be the same:

-Fundraiser for the American Cancer Society
- "Women-Friendly" Event (half of the spots will be reserved for women until 10/16)
- One day, PDGA CEP event (no non-PDGA member fees)
- Free Bag Tags in the players pack that you can put who you want to play in honor of.
- "Honor Signs" $25 Tee Signs dedicated for those in our lives who have been touched by cancer. 100% of these proceeds are donated to ACS.

Some new things:

- Free Survivor shirts for those playing in the tournament who have survived cancer.
- Halloween Doubles on Sunday
~ Just for fun doubles, not a fundraiser for ACS
~ Wear Costumes! Costume contest!


I look forward to having another great event! See you there!

Sign up online here: NW Sign Ups (http://store.northwestsignup.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=18&zenid=vokeh2737tp1q9ngs1j8a4p5s3)

["Over the Hill" Bob]

I've been looking forward to this event all year. I've got to wait a couple of weeks however before I know if I will be able to play. Even if I don't play you count on a tee sign from me.

Hey guys I won the Disc Catcher Pro basket in the raffle yesterday at the Eugene Celebration, and promptly donated to Shavonne for the Hope Open. Felt awesome to do this since my husband & sister are cancer surviors. If you want a chance at winning this awesome basket then I suggest you sign up for the Hope Open, and support a great cause while playing in a super fun tournament. Who can say that they have not been touched by this disease be it family, friend, or personally.

If I can get time off... Tee sign if not. Both if I'm there.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

OTH Bob gave Shavonne the money yesterday for entry and tee sign. Can't wait to play this event and support such an important cause. If you aren't signed up do so promptly and lets show everyone how the disc golf community can pull together for those in need.

Bob

[shavonne]

Wow! I get online to go and brag about Cindy's generous donation of a METAL BASKET to the Hope Open raffle, and there's already people posting stuff on here about it!

Thank you guys!

As of right now, I have two people officially signed up for the Hope Open, with a lot of people planning on signing up! Let's fill the event and raise some money for the American Cancer Society!!

(By the way, the two that have signed up are men, so there are only 38 more spots for you guys until that 2 week mark! And ladies, don't take your time either!!)

If you aren't signed up YET, I'd get right on it. This is starting to gain momentum. Not only is this a sanctioned, fun tournament, it is to raise money for the American Cancer Society. If cancer has not touched your life in any way yet, it will! If not you, a friend, a family member, somebody you know and love will be affected by this disease. We as a community (a disc golf community) have an opportunity to do our part and help the ACS. Don't make this about a win/a trophy/great payout..........don't make it about you or me........make this about supporting the American Cancer Society. :rockon:

As an update, our raffle is looking even better! Bob will be donating a surprise item on the day of the Hope Open, Crystal Mountain Hotels has a certificate in there, and there is a rumor about Blazer tickets...

Registration list here! (http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=10913)

[Steve McMahan]

I just ordered my costume for this event and it's going to ROCK :rockon:. Shavonne, I can't thank you enough for putting all this hard work and effort into this event. It means the world to us :kissflowers:. See you all there....if you recognize me.

[Jellifishie]

I registered but I don't see my name on the list...

[Jellifishie]

Oh and the rumor is true...my brother and I are donating at least 2 tickets to a Blazers game!

[shavonne]

I registered but I don't see my name on the list...

Could be that I have just not received the online registrations yet from NWsignups. I still have to put them in manually, but it will be updated soon!

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Oh and the rumor is true...my brother and I are donating at least 2 tickets to a Blazers game!

Glad to see you two signing up, with or with out Blazer Tickets. (the tickets are great though :wink2:)

Okie dokie, thanks.

[smobro]

I dont generally have any issues with my computer or internet, but the NW link on that is posted does not seem to be working. Is there another place to sign up online or is it just my error?

If you are signing up I will walk down I-5 and hand deliver it for you if I have to. :biggrin2:

Bob

[Rideout]

Sorry about this. Northwest Sign-Ups is in the process of a major upgrade. It was only supposed to take about seven hours but my web host messed it up. Right now I am trying to figure out how bad they messed up so I can give you a time the site will be back up and running.

I will post again later today with an update.

Thanks Mike, nice to see that you are on top of it. :bowing:

Bob

[Rideout]

Alright, slowly but surely things are getting rebuilt. I apologize for this big upgrade turning into a big shut down, but this will make the site much stronger and faster over the next couple months; so, I thank all of you for your patience. Northwest Sign-Ups will be donating $50 to The Hope Open.

Northwest Sign-Ups should be fully operational again by tomorrow (Wednesday) night.

Mike Rideout

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Just an FYI.........Oct. 30 is also a home Beavers game so Corvalis is going to be crazy. What a fun weekend this is going to be. :cheers: I may have booked the last available room in Corvalis and had to settle for room with one bed at a Budget Inn. :(

Anyway........don't procrastinate, sign up before it's too late. :wink2:

Bob

[Rideout]

It is going to be a little bit longer. I will post again in the morning; hopefully with really good news. Very embarrassed.

Mike Rideout

[shavonne]

Hello Friends!

Mike is still working hard on correcting the website mis-hap, but I have updated the list with the people he has got the information from, as well as some recent mail-in entries.

I hope you are all getting very excited because I am!! There are some great things being donated to the Raffle from local Corvallis businesses, it's going to be a great event!

Also be thinking about the doubles event, so far I know of 2 teams for sure that I have heard from... I'll start posting information on that when I get it :)

Thanks!

[Steve McMahan]

I can't wait for this event. Cindy and I will be there for both events. My costume should arrive on Tuesday and I am ready to DO THIS :jumpspin:!! I'll work on my co-workers to sponsor a tee sign as well.

[runnaman]

It's a little early still, but is anyone going to be passing through Monmouth on their way to the Hope Open that could pick me up?

["Over the Hill" Bob]

It's a little early still, but is anyone going to be passing through Monmouth on their way to the Hope Open that could pick me up?

I'll be staying in Salem Friday night and can swing through Monmouth Saturday morning but will be staying in Corvalis Saturday night so you would need a ride back. Let me know!

Bob

[runnaman]

That could work. I'll try to find a ride home.

Uhh, can anyone give me a ride home to Monmouth Saturday night?

[snap7times]

If I go to this, i'll go through monmouth

[runnaman]

Sweet, I'll keep looking just in case.

[shavonne]

Ok!

I have updated the registration list on pdga (http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=10913) with everyone who signed up online with the big mishap. Let me know if your name is supposed to be on there and it isn't.

Also, sign up! Those 40 spots held for ladies expires on Saturday, then it's a free-for-all! :D

[shavonne]

Word on the online registration is that it will be up on Wednesday!!! So if you have been waiting to register online that day will be the day to do it!

Please don't all register at the same time and crash the system though....

Is this the real deal? $28.75 for sign up seems a little strange.
Shavonne,
why not just use the PDGA reg site? At least we know it works.

[runnaman]

That's the lowest price it can be: Recreational, no ace pot, with processing fee.

I wasn't referencing how low the price was, just how unusual it was. That sign up link just seemed like it was not exactly the right place to go. Can anyone confirm or deny that it is the official place to sign up?

I can't 100% confirm, but I don't think it is officially up yet. I sent Shavonne a text, and I am sure when she gets the chance she will be on here with an update.

I signed up (prior to the downtime) and paid $28.75 and my name is on the pdga list, confirmed by Shavonne awhile ago. If that's any help...

I think it's $25 plus some processing fee.

[shavonne]

Sorry everyone, it's been a busy week.

Mike has informed me that he is still waiting on one last part for the online sign ups to actually work. In the meantime I am checking with PDGA to see how fast they can get something up for me. Mike has posted the registration form on the website, so you can still go that route.

The lowest price is $25 for Rec, with the rest being the processing fee.

I hope that answers all of your questions. Thank you for your patience, and hopefully we'll get something working soon!

Thanks!

Bad Monkey Bikes ROCKS!! :rockon: They donated a bunch of Bad Monkey gear to the Hope Open. There will now be pro-D challengers, soft magnets & soft focuses, and several Bad Monkey T-shirts. These guys are big supporters of disc golf & the Hope Open, so if you have any bike or skate needs go see them.

Hey Friends!!!

Here is the new link for online registration! (http://www.pdgasignup.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1287428593)

So sign up!!!

Also, if you are interested in purchasing an Honor Sign, please get me the details soon. The last day to buy one will be next Wednesday, October 27th.


Halloween Doubles registrations are still going on (not online yet). The following teams are registered so far:

Ams- TBD Steve McMahan & Bob Cabal
Ams- Team Ninja Caleb Henson & Douglas Pack

Women- 40 Proof Rebecca Duffy & Cindy McMahan
Women- TBD Brianna Anderson-Gregg & Shavonne Schumacher

Mixed Kalifornication Antonia Cabal & Aaron Freeman

[Rideout]

Shavonne, I can’t begin to explain how much I have appreciated your patience. I had a very difficult time figuring out a few of the problems I was encountering, but Northwest Sign-Ups is back on track and ready to provide you with excellent customer service in the future.

At an event up north (Howliewood) and through a few people I know that have been fighting the cancer fight, I will be attempting to raise an additional $200 - $400 for the American Cancer Society. It will be a serious effort, but it is a goal not a guarantee. The money raised will be delivered to Shavonne in order to be added to the overall ACS donation in the name of the Hope Open.

Online registration for the Halloween Dubs is up and running. The site functions well; the cosmetics still need a little work. All the old links on this forum thread are to the Hope Open’s original purchase page, so if you use one of those it won’t look like things are up. Just go to the home page or use this new link. I have also added a link on Northwest Sign-Ups to the PDGA registration page in order to reduce as much confusion as possible.

http://store.northwestsignup.com/

I am so sorry about all this and once again, THANK YOU, for your patience and not lynching me.

Mike Rideout

["Over the Hill" Bob]

My son in-law lost his mother today from cancer! :( My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. We HAVE to fight this disease and right now the best thing we can do is help to find money to aid in the research. Let's make things as difficult as we can on Shavonne and over fill this event. If you can't play buy a tee sign, donate $5 or $10. Lets make a difference!

Bob :(

[runnaman]

I haven't heard back from snap, so I'm still looking for a ride back from Corvallis to Monmouth.

Thanks again in advance.

Bob

[shavonne]

Hey everyone!

Getting close!! Up to 42 registered for the event, let's see if we can fill!

I am really excited about this event, a lot of people are contributing in great ways along with a lot of businesses. I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday!!

[grant]

["Over the Hill" Bob]

And the course is right next to the river, so there are lots of grubs in the rotting vegetation on the riverbank. All you can eat. Free.

Also, If someone wants to caddy, I'll take one.

Scott has graciously given me permission to set out a donation jar for the American Cancer Society during Howliewood. Friends of ours in Oregon are throwing a charity event, The Hope Open, on the same weekend and all donations made into this jar will be added into the Hope Open’s overall donation to the ACS.

This is not only a wonderful charity in which to give a couple dollars, but at the same time this is a chance to really help disc golf’s image within our surrounding communities. The money that goes to the ACS through the Hope Open does not financially help the sport of disc golf grow, but it does help open the eyes of our neighbors to the generous hearts and minds that make up the world of disc golf.

I will also being accepting checks made out to “The American Cancer Society”. All checks, along with the donation jar, will be sent to the Hope Open on Monday, November 1st.

Super nice T-shirt, a bunch of discs, some flasks, a couple of 2007 Rose City Open dvds, couple of the really nice heavy minis, and a couple of patches. Very cool thanks to Stumptown they ROCK!!! :rockon:

Exhausted. Got home, felt good about my rounds, feel even better that my 1st round is unofficially 1001 rated, my first ever 1000 rating with so many flirts all year long. Dion was insane in the 2nd round, going into this perfect flow birding 11 of the first 13 holes and all I could do was watch the show. The raffle was overwhelming, great stuff. Had to decline my first ever pro cash wheee... props to the people who put this great event on...

[Sam]

Meh... I threw some shots. I don't know about exhausted. I believe Milo is happening tomorrow. :)

What an amazing time.

Shavonne... the gods could only have conspired to give us one as beautiful and noble as you as any single god would certainly fall short of the target...

What we did to deserve you, I can only hope to live up to some day. :bowing:

[smobro]

Ollis aces #9. He also cashes. Then he goes to Shavonne and gives both to the Hope Open Charity! Damn! You are the man! Thanks for your unselfishness.
Others gave up their cash today for the cause as well. I gotta say, well done.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

What a great and wonderful weekend in Corvallis. Hope Open Saturday and Halloween Dubs today.

There is no way that I can adequately express my feelings for the hard work that Shavonne puts into this event in a selfless act of kindness. For such a young lady to be so giving is just amazing. All I can say is "THANK YOU" kiddo and please know that you are a special person indeed.

To all of the others that helped, donated, and played, please know that your efforts are appreciated.

Dion, thanks for such a fun day today and the work you put into making the doubles event what is was. HOW EVER...................all putts inside the circle have to be made with your off hand? :shocked:REALLY? :shocked: I can't putt with my "on" hand let alone my off hand:waaah:, with a messed up rotator cuff especially.:bricks: Really though the various "special rules" made the morning round one of my favorites ever.

Now..............when are sign ups for Hope Open 2011? :rockon:

I want to second Bob's thoughts and really throw the mad props out to all that put this together. It was a fun time. Kim and I have a new "must attend" event.

[Rideout]

The good people at Howliewood contributed $105 and I was able to get an additional $100 from another donar.

I will be mailing out $205 to Shavonne today to be added to the Hope Open's donation to the ACS.

I want to thank everyone who made it to the event, there was a total of 65 players this year, about the same number as last year! We had less women than last year, but it was still a great turn out! Thank you!

I would also like to thank everyone who helped me run this event. The Willamette Disc Golf Club is amazing, they are very supportive of this event with money and with people! Thank you!

Thank you David Pittman for helping me with the financial stuff and with all the pre-printing of scorecards and leaderboards! Thank you Cindy McMahan for helping round up sponsors and just being awesome doing whatever you can! Thank you Dion Arlyn for answering all of my tournament questions before the event! Thank you Rebecca Duffy and Jeremy & Trudy Fields for volunteering their time for the day!! You all made my life so much easier!

I would also like to mention that running this event is a very special thing, because as the TD I get to witness some amazing things out of people! I love how people contribute to this event in ways you would have never thought! Thank all of you!!

And lastly, the unoffical number of money raised for ACS is $2,150!!
Great work!

That is awesome Shavonne you did a great job, and sounds like the donation this year is bigger than last year. Being both the wife of a cancer survivor, and the sister of the cancer survivor I really appreciate all the support. :kissflowers:

Cindy :)

Dion, thanks for such a fun day today and the work you put into making the doubles event what is was. HOW EVER...................all putts inside the circle have to be made with your off hand? :shocked:REALLY? :shocked: I can't putt with my "on" hand let alone my off hand:waaah:, with a messed up rotator cuff especially.:bricks: Really though the various "special rules" made the morning round one of my favorites ever.

Your partner the cockaroach had a few off-hands to spare, should have used one of his ;)

Wow! Great job! I've missed it two years in a row, but I hope to make it soon.

Sorry to the guy who won the Blazers tickets. Looks like the only Greg Oden action you will be seeing will be fun times with the bobblehead. :headbang:

[Sam]

You spelled Sam Bowie wrong. :)

[emmarose]

... the curse of bill walton... when will it end?!?

[Sam]

It doesn't end. It just gets worse.

[Scott]

Forget the bobblehead. I want to see the Greg Oden bobbleknee doll. That would be sweet.

[Jellifishie]

You spelled Sam Bowie wrong. :)

Sorry Sam lol! Have fun at the game anyway :P

[Sam]

Wasn't me. I won a bunch of other stuff but none of the top-notch stuff.

[snap7times]

Just imagine if we had Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant.... oh man...

[Sam]

Yeah, Snap... that is how it SHOULD have happened. The franchise in Portland is broken and they have been broken for a long, long time... and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Who knew that a mere drafting of a man could turn "pristine" knees into joints with the strength of string cheese?

But wait.... there's more! The news will only get worse, I am afraid. Losing Oden is bad... but it will not be viewed as such a bad thing when it is revealed that Brandon Roy has no cartilage in his knees. That will be a franchise-crippling revelation, I am afraid...

But there is a solution for Blazers' fans. There's a certain team that plays a little south of here. You might have heard of them? They were the purple and the gold and they win championships like it is going out of fashion. Damn, I am glad to be a life-long Lakers' fan. :D

[snap7times]

The Blazers just need to stop drafting anyone over 6'10" and draft anyone that has had a clean injury past... wonder if Clyde the Glide is available still? or Terry Porter?

[Sam]

Prior to his draft, Greg Oden had MRIs done on both knees. Examining doctors called the results "pristine". How it came to this in 3.5 short years is astounding...

You've seen this, I imagine?
