Last time Stumptown had an event at Dabney Andrew Rich tore it up and killed the field. Check it out here. He didn't appear to make any mistakes. Look at the final score for 2 rounds can you imagine shooting that well?

We are asking for all participant to bring lanterns if they have them, also if you have portable propane heaters bring them as well. We will attempt to make the scoring area brighter and as warm as possible. We hope to have a way to make hot water on site so bring your coffee and hot chocolate and lets get some disc golf on.

[chainsmasher]

Niiice, I was hoping y'all would put one on at Dabney, think I am going to have to make the trip up from the Eug.

I don't think I have any plans for this day. I will bring out my big double burner propane stove and make coffee and hot cocoa for the troops. Bring coffee cup.

Bob

ps.......And I'll have a propane heater too!

[Bullseye]

Nice Bob! We're also going to try to bring some tarps to nail to the sides of the gazebo as a windbreak. Who knows how well it will work, but it'll probably help a little bit anyway.

[snap7times]

How about making Tourney Central inside the Discvango bus? heh... be bright, no wind, and warm for the TD heh

[Sam]

Jeff, I have tarps if you need them.

Remember, you MUST be a 2011 Stumptown Member to win the Next Adventure scrip. So, if you have not re-upped your Stumptown membership for 2011 you better GET IT DONE.

Do I understand this right? I have to be a Stumptown Member, a 2011 Stumptown member to be able to win script?

I would like to play and I would like to win something if I am able to play well enough but at this time, I don't wish to join a disc golf club.

You only have to be a Stumptown member to be eligible for the $250 ace pot that is put up by Next Adventure in Next Adventure script. Top placing ams win script from Next Adventure, and you don't have to be a Stumptown member to win this script.

I was wondering, if a non Stumptowner gets an ace will they receive anything?
:chinscratch:

[Bullseye]

I was wondering, if a non Stumptowner gets an ace will they receive anything?
:chinscratch:

A Stumptown Membership Form... for next time.

[Scott]

I was wondering, if a non Stumptowner gets an ace will they receive anything?
:chinscratch:

Sure.

They'll pick up a stroke or two on the field.
They'll also get that warm and fuzzy feeling that comes with getting an ace.
They'll get the admiration of everyone on their cards. Lots of back slaps, and a few signatures on their disc, too.

They'll also get some headaches after doing this :headbang: because they didn't pay $10 to support a club that does great things for disc golf.

And with this script, you will have a flawless speach at the next Stumptown meeting.

Pssst.. That would be: "speech". ;)

[Matt B.]

I was wondering, if a non Stumptowner gets an ace will they receive anything?
:chinscratch:

Well since they paid nothing into an ace pot, and didn't become a Stumptown member and thereby qualify for this generous prize donated by an awesome disc golf sponsor, I guess the answer would be...um...no?

[Flatroc]

So, could they at least sign the basket?

:biggrin2:

[snap7times]

So, could they at least sign the basket?

:biggrin2:

sure they can... if they want constant physical contact on the back of their head? :cop:

[PhilStomp]

Thanks Cindy

[Grant Harms]

Is this one going to be PDGA sanctioned?

[all2common]

Pssst.. That would be: "speech". ;)

Sorry, I was thinking about the beach.

[Flash]

Is this one going to be PDGA sanctioned?

Yes the insurance is a must for the club liability and the state parks peace of mind.

Here it is!

[PhilStomp]

I keep thinking about this. It bugs me.

Someone is putting up an ace pot to a C tier tournament but I have to be a member of a particular Disc Golf club to win said ace pot.

I have nothing bad to say about this (or any) Disc Golf club nor about anyone who sponsors a Disc Golf tournament. Just the opposite!

BUT if I pay my entry into a tournament (and extra if not PDGA member), why must I also be a member of said Disc Golf club. My Paid entry is not enough?

Yes, Membership is cheap but not the point. And yes, club membership should have advantages but this seems to be … I don’t know … a club tournament not a PDGA tier C tournament put on by a club.

Another thing, script is be supported by the same sponsor as the sponsor of the ace pot, not the Disc Golf club. This appears that the sponsor and club have a “thing” going on. Nothing wrong there but leaves a funny taste in my mouth. Is that what the sponsor and or the club are working toward? I don’t think so but that is my feeling.

Really, I’m not bashing. It’s just that I keep thinking about this and it feels a tiny bit more like half empty than like half full.

That being said, I had a blast at one of last seasons Slosh tournaments and had my one and only ace. I did not know that there was an ace pot but I was contacted later and sent my split. I was really on cloud nine to sneak a Pro Cobra into hole 14 during a tournament but it was really cool that Stump Town Disc Golf made sure that I got my part of the ace pot. Thank you again!

Sincerely,
Phillip Kurtz (PhilStomp)

I completely understand the point you are making, however I think you've missed a few facts that might sway your opinion a bit.

First off, the club and Next Adventure definitely "have something going on" and we're not only happy about it, but we advertise it. This is no secret. It is, however, a very good thing for both the club AND the players. Win-Win with no losers in the deal.

On the scrip side of things. Stumptown has dealt with a number of different companies when issuing scrip, but more often than not it is for Next Adventure. Why? Because they not only do things like the above ace pot, but they also very often throw in additional swag (water bottles, towels, etc...) for us to include in the players packs. They also give us an excellent deal for our scrip as another means of sweetening up the pot for the amateur players. Every time we run a tournament Next Adventure gives us an extra thirty cents on the dollar to add to that scrip total. So everyone gets a little bit better payout. How is this not awesome?

As for the Ace Pot...

I guess I should preface this with the fact that 9 times out of 10 tournament ace pots are optional. The ace pot fund is usually a separate fee during registration that is in addition to the cost of entering the tourney. There is usually a little check box that says... Do you want to put in an additional $1 for ace pot? I'm not sure exactly how we did it on the last Slosh, but that is usually how we set up the registration. We did not offer that for this years Slosh series because Next Adventure offered us the $250 Ace Pot.

How did this deal come around? At our last club meeting we were discussing the upcoming Slosh series as well as ways to motivate people to renew memberships for the upcoming year. At this point Bryan from Next Adventure said "I'll make a $250 Ace Pot available for anyone who has renewed their membership for 2011". Thats it.

So our motivation was very clear, we wanted to get people to renew and Next Adventure generously offered to throw in something to help motivate them to do so. There was and is no diabolical plan here... just a bunch of people trying to put on cool tournaments... for YOU.

I'd also like to suggest that you drop by one of our club meetings if you have any doubts, questions or concerns about how Stumptown operates. We definitely prefer it when people come out and see what we really are all about so they can form an educated opinion of our club. Plus, we can always use a few more people willing to step up and help out.

I hope this clears things up for you.

[emmarose]

well said, hagerty, well said.

phil, as someone who golfed for years (and i mean years... many, many years...) without being a member of anything, it makes me feel nothing but good to be a member of stumptown. stumptown does an amazing amount of everything for this thing that we love called disc golf... we all want disc golf to prosper and for there to be more, more, more of what we love... more courses, more tournies (if you're into that stuff)... just more golf, and in the portland area, dude, stumptown and next adventure are such a staunch supporters... they really make it happen... all i do is pay 'em 10 bucks... and they make it happen and they make just about everything more awesome in my world of disc golf... if only i could just pay anybody 10 bucks and have such awesome stuff happen... here you go, West Oregon Electric, 10 bucks, now let's have no more week long power outages. here, propane company, 10 bucks. warm house all year long. here you go, obama, 10 bucks. fix the country. c'mon, phil, 10 bucks... and you get a laminated card you can break into your neighbor's house with (of course, i had her permission... i am not condoning burglary...)

peace,

Eh, you don't want to join a club, don't join a club.
You don't want to buy in to a $10 series acepot, don't buy in to a $10 series acepot.
You don't want to play a tournament, don't play a tournament.

When you put all the work in to run a tournament you can do what you want.

It's called marketing strategy... simple, growth comes from incentives and relationship building. The perks of Stumptown membership are abundant, simply join and the rewards will flood you ;)

[JMan]

Phil, I generally take a Groucho Marks stance to joining clubs, however as a disc enthusiast since 1971 I have always supported local clubs, and am an original Stumptown member. Having said that I must include that I rarely play tournaments of any kind, and won't be playing any of the Slosh series. However, the monetary benefits I received alone in 2010 from NA for being a SDG member paid for the membership price many times over. I support the club and its partnership with NA, it has done nothing but paid benefits to the greater PDX DG community. I can respect your questioning of the connections, but rest assured there is no ulterior motive by either party. However, if you are looking to participate in a tournament that will be conducted at the highest level, a SDG tourney is for you. Go, play, have fun, keep the drama on the stage.

Hey Phillip,
Perhaps you could get an ace pot side bet going.
Or maybe ask the TD to.
I'd be willing to bet that if you asked folks if they wanted to chip in a buck or two you'd get a few takers. :wink2:
Or better yet, join up and get some side bets going too.
Heck, I live 200 miles south of Stumptown and I'm probably going to join.
In all of the years I've been around this stuff, the Stumptown DGC has stepped up and been very proactive towards the disc golf movement more than any other club that's been around.
I'd like to help support that, if they'll have me.
FWIW, I still think Sam is a Bagmeister.

Yose,

In all seriousness. I take this as a huge compliment. It is very nice to be recognized by one of respected veterans. For whatever reason, it has been a difficult task to crack the ice with many long-time players. Thank you.

PS: With that said, if you think I am going to let you beat me at Whistlers again you are sorely mistaken.

It's obvious that the SDGC is on a good path for promoting the sport and themselves. It's the professionalism of clubs like this that will show the general public that disc golf is a lot more than just hippies throwing frisbees in the park.
So, I hear you say there's been some ice cracked?
Maybe it just goes to show what testing the frozen waters might do sometimes eh?
:whistler:'s
FWIW, the thought that you were going to let me beat you, never entered my mind.
I just knew who the ones to whoop were.
And you bud, were on the top of the list.
It was an honor to whoop ya because I've seen you play, and you're gudt!

I really do hope that I'm not taken the wrong way here. Not trying to stir up drama.
Had some thoughts, sent them out and got some answers...good stuff.

We still have plenty of room for Slosh #2 at Dabney.

REGISTRATION (http://www.stumptowndiscgolf.org/store/2010slosh2)

Come on out and soak up some fun!

[Flash]

Looks like we are in store for a whomping good time. Remember if you have a propane heater and can bring it let Jeff or I know. I have a spare Propane tank we can use but I will not bring it unless I know we will use it. We are also looking for tarps to use around the pavilion to keep the cold wind and rain out while we do the scoring and such. If you have any tarps we can use bring them PLEASE.

Don't forget to bring a change of sock and clothes in case it rains during the rounds. A hot beverage and food sounds nice as well.

[Bullseye]

I will be accepting entries on the morning of the event, however, you will have to be there before 8:00am.

I will not be accepting entries during the players meeting... <cough>DCDan<cough> ;)

[Sam]

See you Sunday morning, I guess. :)

[Bullseye]

See you Sunday morning, I guess. :)

Alright.... another Pro Master! Sweet.

[GrummyBear]

Hopefully I'm posting this correctly..

Trying to get some information on the mando on hole 15. Is it only in effect for dabney doubles or is it a course mando?(not posted on the tee sign)

Also I've heard if you miss it, you don't have to take a drop and you play from where your disc lies and add a stroke.

I would love some clarity on the issue.

Thanks all!

Also I've heard if you miss it, you don't have to take a drop and you play from where your disc lies and add a stroke.

I would love some clarity on the issue.

Thanks all!

For safety reasons we will be making this one a mando.

If you miss the mando you must move to the drop zone (the mando tree), take a penalty and throw from there.

FYI: What you heard regarding mandos is almost never the case.

It seems strange that an event in 2010 would take a 2011 membership. I understand that it is a series and if you played all events it would not really be any different and you would get a membership to boot. If I were a current member that would seem a little unfair if I did not wish to be one for 2011. Nothing against N.A. or S.T. they are doing wonders for our sport.
I have lots of tarpage. I'll bring some.
Haven't played Dabney since the fling. Can't wait.
Looks like a fun older group.
Way to step up Tom.
See-ya all on Sunday.

[Sam]

Alright.... another Pro Master! Sweet.

So you would have thought... but nope. :)

Same division as last time, please. Dabney chews my shit up.

I'm not sure what your concern is, since no one is requiring anyone to join Stumptown for 2011. The membership requirement is only for people who expect to hit the Next Adventure Ace Pot. As I posted HERE (http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showpost.php?p=84087&postcount=39)earlier, the whole point of the ace pot was to motivate people to renew memberships for 2011. Allowing 2010 members to win it defeats the purpose.

So, is what I read into this that you only want to move up on a course that you don't get chewed up on?
Aren't you one of those fellers who think that they will get better if they play with better players?
If so, what are you waiting for bud?
Don't underestimate yourself.
That's a killer bunch of PM's to throw with! :cheers:

Thanks for the encouragement, Yose. Picking my battles, carefully. Anyway, Cox already has enough bling. ;)

I've read every post in this thread.
The point being made is that someone with a 2010 membership should be involved with things happening in 2010.
Point being 2010. Were not in 2011.
New members great. They get a bonus.
Current members don't.
It's like the cable company giving new subscibers better rates than current subscribers.
Just my opinion nothing else.

Is it alright if I just show up at dabney on sunday morning with cash in hand or do I have to register on-line? (sorry if this has already be answered somewhere else in internet-land)

[SMOKIN JOE]

I'll do my best to see that Dabney $hits the bed with you Sam.
It's good to play with ya.
The rest of old folks will try to as well I'd bet.

It would be a lot easier if you signed up online beforehand, but I will accept registration on the day of the event.

[softwinterwhispers]

I don't think I have any plans for this day. I will bring out my big double burner propane stove and make coffee and hot cocoa for the troops. Bring coffee cup.

Bob

ps.......And I'll have a propane heater too!

Did ya'll still need tarps, I have a few. Do ya guys still need lanturns? What are they for? This is my first tournament so im a bit ignorant at the moment. 8)

I'm actually not going to be able to make it but I'm the tarps will still be needed and inside of the covered shelter it is really dark this time of year. The folks doing the scoring could really use a lantern or two.

Have fun with your first tournament!

[503DiscGolf]

Thanks for a good tourney Jeff! Merry X-mas and happy holidays

[503DiscGolf]

Mike, thank you also!

[Bullseye]

I'd like to thank everyone who came out to the Slosh today. I hope you all had a good time... even if the wind was wreaking some havoc. I appreciated the fact that we avoided the rain all day, but got to see the snowflakes start falling as we drove out of the park. Not a bad way to finish the day.

The results (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/62463)are posted HERE (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/62463)but there seems to be a problem with the ratings not showing up yet.

Jeff

PS: Matt... You're welcome.

[Sam]

Thank you.

[TreeLove]

Thanks, Jeff Hagerty, great job as always! Also, thanks to Jeff Mittl and Mike Phillips for redeeming scrip and raising Beaver State Fling money! And thanks to everyone else who helped out!

[KenGilmore]

Bummer I was sick and couldn't attend. :-(

[Sean Phillips]

Had an awesome time. Payouts came really quickly after the rounds were finished. Thank you Jeff and Stump crew.

[chris7graham]

Had great time thanks to jeff for a well ran tournament looking forward to the next one:biggrin2:

[Bullseye]

FYI: I have a few emails off to the PDGA trying to determine why the ratings are not calculating. As soon as I have an answer I will let you all know. Sorry for the delay.

[Sean Phillips]

They're up. (ratings)

... eeewwwwww... (just speaking for myself)

[emmarose]

also, thank you to hagerty and mike phillips for a well run tournie... nice and quick... hope everyone had a safe drive home.

had a great time with melissa and cyndi of course... melissa, i especially appreciated you're comment about how you love how crass i am... oh, carie coleman, you would've been proud... and good job, too, girl hangin' in and finishing the whole thing... i loved watching you learn to throw that 150 sidewinder (please don't forget about the 150 r-pro boss... anyone out there want to know what to get melissa for christmas, there you go... also, she needs a putter)

peace threw disc golf and a very merry discmas to all!!!

On to another subject:

Sean also noticed that noticed that Pro Masters payout percentages looked a little weird compared to those in Open. It took me a few minutes to figure out where I made the mistake, but I did find it. I had neglected to enter the cost of the players pack discs from that division's payout.

Here is what I paid out to Pro Masters:

Jeff Cox: $80
Jeff Hagerty: $50
Mike Ward: $40

Total: $170

Here is what I SHOULD have paid out:

Jeff Cox: $45
Jeff Hagerty: $30
Mike Ward: $20

Total: $95

The difference between these two amounts needs to be paid to Stumptown to cover the cost of the discs. Because this was 100% my mistake, I do not intend to ask Jeff Cox or Mike Ward to return any money, since they had nothing to do with the mistake. I will cover the difference out of my own pocket, but I did want everyone to know exactly what happened, why and what is being done to fix it.


Sean, thank you very much for pointing this out. I really appreciate it. To everyone else, I truly apologize for the screw up. If anyone else has ANY questions about this please let me know.

That you would offer to do this makes you one of the most stand-up guys in our community, Jeff. Not only do I feel lucky to have you being willing to step up to do so much for so many but I also feel lucky to consider you a friend.

That said, I am going to be at the next Stumptown meeting specifically to mention that the club should eat this cost as part of the overhead of running tournaments. It's not that much and the club can afford it, I am guessing.

Thanks again for all you do. :cheers:

I appreciate the kind words Sam. If this mistake was not in my own division I would even consider taking you up on that offer, however, since it was in my division I think I chose the only proper way to "fix" it. Curse that Sean Phillips! I can't pull anything over on that guy.

Jeff,
I'm not yet a member, but if I was, and the club even considered to not cover this mistake, I would be pissed.
Seems like a no brainer really.

PS: Matt... You're welcome.

It looks like there must be some mistake here. The winner of Advanced Masters played well enough to take 2nd place in Open. And so did the top three finishers in Advanced. And so did the winner of Intermediate.

I guess it's time for the annual who is moving up thread?

[Matt B.]

Oh, hell no... too damned expensive. :seeya:

[KenGilmore]

Since Jeff was running the event on behalf of Stumptown, I would have thought others would've been able to help out and possibly catch the mistake. I don't think Jeff assumes the liability on his own. Stumptown should cover the mistake.

So let it be said. So let it be done.

[Flatroc]

Oh, hell no... too damned expensive. :seeya:

What the heck are you doing with all that lunch money you're taking from the rest of your division? :pirate:
You've probably won enough to purchase a spare conscious. :slapface:
Actually, please stay where you're at.
I enjoy razzing you. :evilgrin:

Jeff thanks so much for running this one it was awesome, and thanks for the dry weather :wink2:

Can't wait for the next one :yay:

[SMOKIN JOE]

Thanks Guys.
Hopefully alot of people helped the Fling. It was nice to help out and use my script on the spot.
Great job in the dark getting things done.
The weather was fun to play in. Watching some of the flights were amazing. Usually not in our favor but fun never the less.
Mistakes happen. It's a club event. It's a club mistake. Way to buck up either way.
Well we tried Mr. Treelove. Maybe next time. I here his sandbox isn't full yet.
The car kind of gives it away. Thank you Carquest for being my sponsor.

[whalekillah]

Are the conscious's on the same shelf as the consciences? If so Sam maybe overlooking them due to bad packaging. Totally not his fault.
