Battle At The Barracks Ft. Vancouver April 10

[holdin8]

Battle at the Barracks II

It’s that time of year again. Is everyone ready to get their feet wet for our second opportunity to play at Fort Vancouver National Park? Last year went off without a hitch. We had a pretty good turnout, and the park service had nothing but good things to say about us. So, here we are again! After everyone’s input I have decided to change things up a bit this year.

Pool A- All pro divisions including advanced Ams
Pool B- All other Amateur divisions

We will be playing two rounds for each division. Pool B will start in the morning, and Pool A will start when Pool B finishes their first round. This will go on into the afternoon with the course continuing to rotate between Pools. There will be room for 40 players in each pool. This will be singles only, for each division. Like last year we will have ctp’s and long drive prizes. We will be serving lunch again this year and I am happy to have Disc Golf Depot doing the script for the ams. Also, if the weather is good we will have a long drive competition at the end of the tourney. It will be by division only $1 a throw. (Unless you want to throw against the big arms and test out your distance)

This again will be a “fundraiser” tournament. The tournament is scheduled for Sunday April 10th. The money will be going to help some local disc golfers with there expenses in traveling to Michigan for the 2011 ASADGC. There will be payouts, lunch and prizes.

World Champion Dave Feldberg will be playing and putting on a clinic at the end of the tournament. There will be no-charge for the clinic, however we will be taking donations of any kind to help out Dave and his time spent teaching.

Schedule:

7:30-800 Player check in for Pool B
8:15 Player’s meeting (Pool B)
8:30 Tee off (Pool B 1st round)
9:30-10:00 Player check in for Pool A
10:15 Player’s meeting (Pool A)
10:30 Tee off (Pool A 1st round)
12:00 Player’s meeting (Pool B)
12:15 Tee off (Pool B 2nd round)
1:45 Player’s meeting (Pool A)
2:00 Tee off (Pool A 2nd round)
4:00-5:00 Dave Feldberg clinic
5:00-5:30 Long Drive competition and Awards

This tournament will be pre-registration only. The cost of the tourney is $25.00 per player. All divisions must have at least 3 players. Sign-up’s are located on www.northwestsignup.com. You can find a map of where the park is located here http://www.nps.gov/fova/planyourvisit/upload/FOVAmap1.pdf See you at the park!!

What will the course be like? Long/short? Open/wooded? Technical/not? Beginner friendly/not?

Thanks!

[holdin8]

So the course is going to be 12 holes. Most of them are decent lengths including a long 1000' hole. Last year we had 10 holes with 3 rounds and some doubles mixed in. This year will be two rounds of singles with a twelve hole layout. There is a variety of shots including some low ceiling and mando's. This year we will have a few more ob's and an island shot with drop zone. There is also some elevation change and some sweet downhill hyzer shots. The signups will be on www.northwestsignup.com. I was informed that the regisration will be up and running by the 12th. There will be an optional $2.00 ace pot. This is a temp course and we may not have tee-pads. It might be like last year with cones marking the natural tee-pad area. If anyone knows of where we could get tee-pads to use for the event, I would be greatful. If anyone has old large chunks of carpet that we could use, that might be better than rubber mats but will take what we can get. The course is partially wooded but mostly open areas. This course will be beginner friendly but I am definately adding some difficulty this year. Hope you all can make it!!! Thanks JB

[DexterHawk]

Old carpet works great for temp teepads and you can ussually get it super cheap!

Just a quick update. The registration I am told will be open at noon this Saturday March 12 :yay: Also, just so everyone knows. This is a National Park. Anyone who knows National Park rules then knows that it is legal to drink in National Parks. :cheers: We will all be there to enjoy ourselves but lets make sure we clean up after ourselves too. Just want to make sure we can keep doing this. Thanks...JB

This was a blast last year. And I like to :chug: while playing

[T-what?]

Third? :yay:

[holdin8]

I will be posting current registration after one week. I hope that we can get a solid group of open player's to give Feldberg a run. I will be having some fun putting contests as well. We should have around 20 discs to give away. (If anyone has any to donate it would be greatly appreciated) Also, if anyone is interested in volunteering please let me know. I need a couple people who are not going to be playing to help out with cooking/serving. All you Pro's out there (Nate, Dion, Skellenger, Miller, Christensen, McAllister, Phillips) :wink2: I know there out there!!! Put the word out, lets give the Ams something to watch....especially during the long drive competition!!!! :trophy:

I have not seen your registration yet however it can take up to 24 hours before I see it.

[holdin8]

Registration will close April 5th. If there are any spots left at that time I will be trying to fill them the day of. So far, pretty slow sign up people!!! There is lots of room in this tourney. Spread the word.

[holdin8]

The first Registration list is up. Pretty slim.....Lots of room! Here is the current list http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Battle_at_the_Barracks_II_2011/registration

[holdin8]

Still looking for volunteers. Anyone interested please contact Jason Back

weird question: im a 936 rated player, but i dont need more script, and since the prices are the same, i think ill play open. would it be possible to throw distance on the am side but play singles on the pro side? or is that too confusing? thanks, looking forward to it

Im ok with you entering the long drive competition as an Am as long as your rating is below a 970. This is a tourney that is meant to be a lot of fun and it gives people a chance to play up if they so choose. However, if I hear a lot of people complaining then It will be according to the division that you play in during the tourney with an option of competing in a higher category for the long drive competition. Also remember in order to make the long drive worth wild, it will cost a dollar a throw per person per division winner takes all (in your division).

[chris7graham]

wish i could go to this it was fun the first time i did it

Me too. You can always volunteer!! :yay:

Battle at the Barracks is getting close to the closing deadline. If any spots are still available, then I will be taking cash only the day of the tournament. If you do not sign up online you will need to come early--before your pool check in time. Again registration closes April 5th, 2011 The divisions will be set April 5th. That means if you play in a certain division but wait to sign up the day of, then your division may not be available. I am doing this because we are going to be having trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for each division however I need to order the trophies early enough to have them for the tourney. Tell Your Friends!!!:trophy:

[holdin8]

Battle at the Barracks is less than a week away. Registration closes tomorrow. Those of you who choose to wait till the day of the tournament to sign up will be charged an extra $2.00 for the tournament. We have been trying to order trophies and lunch for the current list which means that someone will be inconvenienced (we may have to run last minute to get more food and potentially extra for the permit depending upon how many people are late comers) Sign up tonight to insure your spot!!!!

[holdin8]

There will be day of registration for those of you who were unable to sign up online. The cost of the tournament the day of will be $27. This will help cover the last minute food and permit costs. Also, bring extra cash for the long drive competition and for the raffle. There is some good plastic, mini basket, and lots of other swag to raffle and give away. Thanks to Disc Golf Depot, By The Bottle, and Athletes corner for their donations. See you Sunday...Pray for no rain!!!!

[Mayumoogy]

I registered online but noticed there is a staggered start. How do I find out what time to come? Thanks

[TreeLove]

Just be there at dawn like the rest of us, and if the government doesn't shut down, we'll have a great time (or even if they do)!

[holdin8]

I registered online but noticed there is a staggered start. How do I find out what time to come? Thanks

The flyer clearly states the check in times and start times. It all depends on what division your in. The course should be set up by 7:30. Anyone can play it at that time however check in for intermediate and masters is 7:30-8:00 with players meeting at 8:15 and start time of 8:30

[holdin8]

Hope noone is going to let a little rain ruin the day. It should be decent with some rain but anyone that has not registered yet may show up in the morning to sign up. first come first serve. I have 56 spots for each pool, which intermediate should fill first, if it does then we will allow anyone else to play up to a higher division to get in...none can play down though!!!! See you bright and early

[Mayumoogy]

Thanks to everyone that made the tournament possible. I had a great time, and learned a lot about wind both in the clinic, and on the course.

[PhilStomp]

Had a great time. Thanks to all who helped make it happen. Thank you to all of the sponsors.
