2011 don't-miss-it Tournament list

[Aware]

:Question:

If a person is to play in just 5 tournaments in the Western Oregon/Washington area for the coming year, what should they be?

[olydiscgolf]

Beaver State Fling, Lilac City Open (Spokane), Fort Steilly Open, Great Northwest Open, Whiners in the woods (Bremerton).

[RonTheWhip]

Beaver State Fling
Ft. Steillacoom Open
April Fools Doubles (Going into its 5th year, promises to be a fantastic event!)
Any event at Whistlers (GNO, Whistlers Bend Doubles, Anything run by Cordell and Gausnell)
ORDGC (My new favorite tournament)

Thats my top five, some of the events I look forward to the most for next season.

[Chuck Kennedy]

And reserve Aug 20-21. More details coming soon.

[runnaman]

Beaver State Fling, Willamette Open, ORDGC, GNO, and some other one. At least, those are the ones I plan on going to next year.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

GNO, Rose City Open, Chucks secret Aug. event, Eugene Celebration, Hope Open.

And reserve Aug 20-21. More details coming soon.

glancing at the calendar that weekend is already pretty dang full in the NW area....:D

[Stimpi]

I guess it depends on whether you plan on winning, or are in it for the schwag.
Flippen Z Disc in Wenatchee had, what I suspect was, the biggest payout EVER, for any event in Washington. Close to, if not above, the National Tour payouts of the Beaver State Fling (another favorite). The Lilac City Open always pays out above scale. I enjoyed the Seattle Dual Nature, for the fun of playing two of Seattle's finest in the same event. And the Ft. Steillacoom Open is another great place and event. I haven't attended some of Oregon's best, the Willamette, Celebration, Whistler's, etc., and I suspect they might work their way into my list if I lived closer and gave them a chance.

[NWDiscer]

GNO, Rose City Open, Chucks secret Aug. event, Eugene Celebration, Hope Open.

:confused: no mention of that local event that sells out in minutes :dancing:

[ChUcK]

Chuck, are you bringing a SuperClass tournament to the PacNW?

["Over the Hill" Bob]

:confused: no mention of that local event that sells out in minutes :dancing:


The question was about tournaments to play. I think I will be kind of busy during that tournament that sells out in minutes. :wink2: (is it too early to start asking for volunteers?)

Bob

[Chuck Kennedy]

Nope. I won't need to come to the NW. One or two of your local TDs might want to host an event on Aug 20-21 as part of this special event playing standard PDGA disc golf. I'm hoping I can get details out on this event next week when hopefully the Major/NT schedule is finally released so TDs can plan their events for 2011.

[Tim]

Cue Jub writing an accusatory post about overlapping Jet Wash in 3...2...

[snap7times]

Only 5? Can't be done... unless you have incredible strength at resisting the urge to sign up for every tournament in the NW... For me... hmmm.... In no particular order...
-Beaver State Fling
-Oregon Disc Golf Championships
-2nd Annual Camp Taloali Fund Raiser *already major plans for a much larger layout and cabins baby, haven't played anywhere with cabins this close or cheap* And being the TD kinda helps.
-GNO (haven't gone in 2 years but was just there for the ODDGC and it's such a great course)
-Fort Steily Open (Never gone, heard good things, just played the WDDGC there and love the improvements on the NW course)
-Willamette Open (I like par 4's and 5's even when I mess up, Bryant and Adair are both top 5 courses in Oregon
-Northwest Amateur Championships (Biggest and baddest players pack and fattest AM payout, and lets not forget Ian's most tasty cooking skills on the grill)
-Eugene Celebration, Calapooia Classic, and Rose City Open (All great tournaments that recruit great people to participate and they are all at beautiful courses)
-Oregon Deaf Disc Golf Championships (I'm the TD, and love seeing my Deaf buddies at this one)
and too many more to list...
-Masters Cup (Dela Veaga baby, this course is a real challenger, it is not as super awesome as some people might let on, yet it is a top 2 in Northern California and is worth the travel for an NT/A tier tournament yes... had to mention it since many Oregon players go to this one)
Yep, top 5 for me right there... Didn't think I could do it but I did....

[kyle95]

1. Howliewood
2. Pretzel Bowl
3. Beaver State fling
4. Washington State Championships
5. NW & State dubs

[General Scales]

Beaver state fling, dro (to make up for a dismal performance this year), discs in flight to help the fight (cancer benefit by archie bond at highbridge), steli and chump challenge 2011 (was out of fown for this years). There's tons of others but these are logistical.

[jshrack]

I haven't played many so I don't have a legit 5.
I will make sure to play Flippin' Ze Disc next year.
I will try my best to make Next Adventure Amateur Championships as well.
Both tourneys had amazing friendly staff, great courses, and outrageous payouts.
I also love playing Farragut, so that will make my list even though it isn't in Washington/Oregon. :biggrin2:

[General Scales]

Faragut is great especially since they put in their latest 18 hole.

[DoubleDees]

It depends on what you are looking for in an event.

1. BSF
2. State/NW dubs. Steilly Pro/Alt 18 Sea-Tac and Lakewood in one weekend.
