2009 Beaver State Fling

[Darr]

What's with this 950 rated player playing MA2??:shocked::confused:
I am not sure which is funnier.
GNO's scores not getting counted and Tony's lower rated rounds not getting counted?
Or Tewa his golfing buddy calling him out? :whistler::laughing::laughing:

[jevon]

Is anyone else as excited as me? And I'm not even playing!!!

[snap7times]

I just had to take my 10th cold shower of the week... too excited ;) Be there before the gate opens Friday I hope...
As for the 950 rated player, I am sure he getting moved up, all his rounds except for one is above 935, if it were like 935 or 936 rating, I wouldnt care, but 950 whoa...

[T-what?]

This will just make it that much more painful when you beat him senseless ;)

[JR Stengele]

Thanks Tim, I will be sure to look for you. Something tells me though that I am going to be buying all sorts of stuff at this tournament. Man is this thing going to be sick!

I'm sure he'll be very proud of himself when he whoops the MA2 field. :rolleyes2:

[Bullseye]

I'm sure he'll be very proud of himself when he whoops the MA2 field. :rolleyes2:

The guy is a relatively new player who only has a total of 3 tourneys under his belt. I checked the stats and ran some numbers and found out that if his rounds at the Whistler's Bend had been included in this update (as they should have been) his rating would be 923.

This is the exact reason I think ratings can only truly be accurate until someone has at least 10 rated rounds included.

This is one case where I would leave him right where he is at.

[JR Stengele]

Anyone who has played with or against Tony knows he is better then MA2. If he stays in it though I will have my work cut out for me. He will deffinately be the one to beat! Either way it will be good to try to keep up with quality players. = )

I will argue that a player who is good enough to have a 950 rating (or even 923) most likely has played many casual rounds against tournament players and would know exactly how he would stack up. Even if he just started playing tournaments, he didn't become a 923 rated player over night. At least I hope not.

I'd watch out for Chris Gilberts.

[JR Stengele]

Yeah, I went down a level knowing that the level of competition would still be intense. I am just lookinig to get my player rating up (only 2 PDGA tournaments under my belt and both on new courses), and watch some really good DG.

While I do not entirely disagree with you, the reality is that we would not be having this discussion if his Whistler's rounds were included. His 950 rating is not accurate.

If there wasn't an Advanced Masters field I would be playing in MA2 with my 925 rating...:whistler:

But my rating has never been above 927 either...:pirate:

[Sam]

Hell... I'll play against Ken Climo if we could just get started today.

[Scott]

Fair enough. :cheers:

[JR Stengele]

That just means when someone beats him they will most likely be throwing a 950+.....hopefully it is me. = )

[Sam]

If he plays up to his initial rating. From what I have read here, though, he is good but not that good.

Anyway, why are you guys worrying about what SOMEONE ELSE is going to do at the Fling?

[all2common]

They scurred.

[Tim]

Anyway, why are you guys worrying about what SOMEONE ELSE is going to do at the Fling?

True dat. I'm just hoping to play above my rating. If I get some plastic to go along with that, that's just a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

quick question: i may not be able to show up until laaaate thursday night. like 1ish. can i still drive into the camping area and set up my business without breaking some late night curfew?

i'll probably just sleep in my car if this is the case anyways but i just wanted to know. :yawn:

I was wondering the same thing. Don't the gates close at a certain time? I need to know so if I can't make it by the cutoff I will just stay home until the morning.

[gatorenvy]

Will Am's be able to check-in on Friday throughout the day, or is there a window of time that you need to check-in by? I saw check-in for Thurs 1-5 and early Friday, what about people showing up after the Friday A.M. Pro rounds get started. THX.

[Thumbsky]

I was wondering the same thing. Don't the gates close at a certain time? I need to know so if I can't make it by the cutoff I will just stay home until the morning.

pretty sure that for fire reasons they can't actually "lock" the gate to get out of the park for the people already camping down by the course... in the past we have experienced "dumby" locking where the gate looks locked but actually isn't.

TD's?

[JR Stengele]

Great question. I am getting there Saturday early from Seattle. Can't I check in for the tournament then?

[Bullseye]

Ams can check in all day Friday and/or early Saturday morning.

However, make sure you know when your tee time is because some rounds are starting EARLY!!! Make sure you make your teetime.

I've been asked by a few people playing the Am side about tee times.....they will be posted soon, yes?

[snap7times]

Of course they will be posted... at milo... go look... heh..
I need tee times i need tee times i need tee times...

[JR Stengele]

I've been asked by a few people playing the Am side about tee times.....they will be posted soon, yes?

Would it be posted on the BSF website? THis one? Or both? Thanks for the info.

[essjay]

[NWDiscer]

Hey guys and gals,

The Jeff Mittl has arranged for all of the early birds that are camping to be able to stay in the Group Camp A area at Milo McIver State Park.

The camping area is on your way down to the courses. When you come into the park take a left at the stop sign and then go down the hill, when you level out, the camping area will be on your right hand side.

[Brody Cannon]

Anyone driving to the doubles tomorrow and then coming back afterwards??:drool: I really wanna go play doubles but I'm not heading out there to camp until friday.

I am planning on coming out to the fling this weekend as a spectator. I have played for 4 years but have never seen a tourney. Besides some incredible disc golf I am not quite sure what to expect. I have looked for some info but could use some help. What I am curious about:

1. Is there an entry fee besides the $3 park pass? Will there be parking available by the course?

2. Will there be a large crowd on Sunday? Are their good viewing areas available throughout the course? Is it fairly open or are spectators corralled?

3. Will there be food and beverage vendors? Are there any other attractions or activities for spectators?

I’m trying to talk my girlfriend into cutting our camping trip short to come see the Sunday rounds. She loves to play but I am wondering if it would be a mistake to expect a great spectator’s experience. If you weren’t playing would you be going to watch? Thanks for any info. Good luck and have fun!

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Played some with Niko this afternoon. How sweet is that?

Gates will be open all weekend, that's the word from the Ranger. They do have firewood at the park but not sure on the cost. Fires in above ground firepits ONLY. Reg for all begins no later than 1:00 p.m Thursday. AMs CAN register Saturday morning but be there early, well before your round. You can reg and pick up your player pack at TC later. Tell everyone you know to come out and watch the greatest players in the world take on our Riverbend Disc Golf Course at Milo McIver State Park.

And when/where can I find out when my round starts??? :confused:

The $3.00 parking fee is all you have to pay.
There will be a pretty good crowd Sunday afternoon. All the AMs play Sunday morning and many will stick around to watch the pros play their final round in the afternoon.

Not really any food vendors - bring in your own food and beverage. For activities there is the mini disc course. Sounds like there will be a pretty good flymart, too.

There are great opportunities to watch golf at Milo. You can follow the lead card with 200 other people - a very unusual experience in disc golf - or you can park it somewhere. There are several great vantage points where you can see 3-4 holes at once.

I highly recommend going out there. Any fan of disc golf would love it.

My Volunteer Starter schedule has the Starters working at 7:10 a.m. for the first round. I'm sure the times will be available online by Friday early evening and also at Tournament Central. Plan on coming in early, before 7:00 to be sure you have it covered.

For sure come out Sunday if you can. Stop by Tournament Central I have some raffle tickets for spectators following the lead card. After the last putt there will be a drawing for some cool Innova stuff including a Traveler Basket.

These final rounds are spectator friendly, they want you to be there! Just stay 30-50 feet behind the players with the other people and enjoy the show. I have watched the final card at BSF and the Memorial, both excellent expiriences.

[douglaselvis]

Thanks BOB! See ya at the Show!:cheers:

[TreeLove]

This work day could not POSSIBLY drag by any slower, COME ON 5:00 get here already or I am gonna die waiting....

[JR Stengele]

Hey atleast you not stuck working tomorrow like me and then have to drive down from just north of seattle. = (

[TreeLove]

True that! Well, at least you're not playing pro and missing round 1 entirely...

[JR Stengele]

Very true. I would quit my job. No but man am I getting impatient for 1:00 tomorrow!!!!!!!! I just need to not drive down like a bat out of hell. Enjoy getting down early and soak up some of that good stuff.

[Scott]

Ok....It's almost here.
Good luck everybody and have a great time. Enjoy the weather, the golf, the course, and the company. Give Milo a big bitch-slap for me!

This will be the first time since I've started playing that I've missed the Fling, and I'm pretty :waaah:. But I'll be in Sunriver (won the trip in a raffle), so that takes a little sting out of it.

[Shaolintrained]

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but does anyone know where or when I can find the tee times? It's getting pretty close to Saturday and I'm getting pretty anxious.

[all2common]

They aren't up yet.

[Shaolintrained]

Does anybody know what the player's packs are looking like this year?

[Bullseye]

[Brody Cannon]

Just wondering...
I'm heading out there tomorrow around 11 or 12ish and have no idea where I'm gonna set up camp. Where can/ should I camp? I'd like to be as close to tournament central as possible but honestly I don't have a clue..
It's just my little tent so I don't need much room at all. Also, is camping free?

Camping is not free, its $6 dollars a night and you can not camp near TC, you must camp in Group D or Group E. Look all this information up on the website

HOOK UP THE FLING WITH MUSIC


If any one has an Ipod with some casual music on it can you bring it tomorrow and the next few days to play music at the event. I ran out of time and can not get mine together.

Please help us out with some tunes or an XM radio would be sweet as well.

[D-Walk]

:bowing: to everyone involved in this. I was out there today walking the east course and it looks amazing!! This is going to be an incredible time. If you're not playing, get out there anyways. This will be a weekend that as a disc golfer you are not going to want to miss!!

Wish I could be playing...alas, work.

Hey Everyone,

We were up late again last night to get the TD reports done for both the NT and the A-tier so if you want to keep a copy of the temporary ratings you should download them soon or take a screen capture to save them as Jeff will be submitting the TD reports to the PDGA today.

Also anyone who did not pick up their scrip will need to do so At Next Adventure. This is also the only place you can use the scrip now that the event is over. I will also be emailing or calling those parties involved to let them know.

[SMOKIN JOE]

thanks for all your efforts , even though i didn't get to play it was an awsome tournament just to be a part of:cool2:
