This year's Dallas Tournament will be on March 17, 2012. Registration will be done through northwestsignup.com when things are ready. Since this will not be a fundraiser (unlike the previous two tournaments) 100% of entry fees will go toward payouts as well as the money from sponsors and the raffle.

Once again, the tournament will use an alternate 18 hole layout. This layout uses 6 of the original holes and 12 temporary holes. Of the temporary holes, 7 will be to temporary baskets, so if you have a temp basket that we can use, please let me know.

I will continue to update this forum when more information becomes available so keep checking.

Online sign ups are closed, but there is still room. If you would like to come send me a message with your name and division and you can pay day of (Cash only).

And this time I'll bring all of my basket :o

[runnaman]

Cool, how many is that?

[runnaman]

I just realized the title of this says that 18th, it's supposed to be the 17th. Can a mod change that?

Also, I added a flyer to the first post.

[runnaman]

Sign ups are live on northwestsignups.com there is a direct link in the first post.

[Jeff Hemmerling]

Cool, how many is that?I have one basket (if that's what you're asking).

[runnaman]

Ok, I read it as all of my baskets. My bad.

[runnaman]

Just a reminder that registration is open. Link in the first post.

I'm going out today to ask for sponsors, if you or someone you know would like to sponsor, send me a message.

[runnaman]

Turned in the reservation form today for the disc golf course. My goal is to have this thing half full by the end of the month.

Link to register is in the first post.

[runnaman]

I sent an email to Valarie Jenkins today and she's going to be donating some stuff to the raffle again. I've also contacted some other sponsors and things are looking good.

All of the tee signs are designed. Once I finish getting sponsors, the signs will get printed and laminated.

I also went out to the course today and measured it with a range finder. The course measures just over 5200 feet. It's got some open holes and some technical holes.

I'll work on getting a map put up.

[runnaman]

There are just less than 3 weeks left to sign up. Registration link is in the first post.

[runnaman]

The Dallas City Open now has a webpage. I added a slideshow of all the holes that will be played in the tournament.

Check it out here:
http://dgtournamentsolutions.weebly.com/dallas-city-open.html

[runnaman]

Only two and half weeks left to register. Registration link in the first post.

Things are looking good for this event. I'm going to Next Adventure on Saturday to pick up some more stuff for the raffle and I'm going to drop everything off at the print shop tomorrow to get printed.

There's going to be food, a raffle, mini games, ctps, and a great course. So sign up and sign up your friends.

I still need about 5 temporary baskets so if you can bring one, please let me know asap either in a message or by telling me when you register.

[runnaman]

And here's the tournament layout map.

[runnaman]

I decided to change hole 17 today so now it will go further down the road and it's a little over 500'. That makes two holes on the course around 500 feet. I'm liking this layout a lot more than last years and I think other people will feel the same way.

There's just under 2 1/2 weeks left to register and there are 11 people registered right now. If you plan on coming please pre-register online or at least send me an email.

I'm planning on providing dinner, but I need to know how many people will be present.

Hole 9 looks interesting. How wide is the grass strip the basket resides on?

There are still no Advanced people which surprises me. But keep the registrations coming in, only 10 days to go.

so what happens if i register for this in advanced and nobody else does? the layout looks pretty awesome. but i can play with myself at home...:blush: just wondering what the protocol is for only one person in a division.

[runnaman]

You could choose to play in open or one of the age decisions if you qualify. Or you could compete against yourself. Since it's 100% payout you wouldn't lose any money. Or you could bring some friends and win their money. Haha. The possibilities are endless.

[M.Parker]

Alright I'm in. Michael Ray advanced, i also can bring a basket for you to use. ill pay day of if thats okay. thanks chase.

[Scott]

Or you could compete against yourself. Since it's 100% payout you wouldn't lose any money.

Wouldn't the payout be his entry fee - PDGA fees? Or are the PDGA fees being paid with added cash?

[ahukingacehole]

This event is not sanctioned by the PDGA.

If you feel lonely just play open!

[Scott]

Didn't realize that. Then 100% it is!

[runnaman]

Sounds good Michael. Now I only need 2 more baskets.

[SMOKIN JOE]

Sounds good Michael. Now I only need 2 more baskets.

Still not sure what division I'll play. I can bring a basket. Unless your already counting Shaun's basket he has one two. I could borrow another from Jesse as well I'm sure. If you have room or a triuck you could probabley take them Sunday. I have a few more that don't break down.

[runnaman]

I won't have room on Sunday and I already counted Shaun's. Thanks though.

[M.Parker]

This event is not sanctioned by the PDGA.

If you feel lonely just play open!

Haven't I contributed enough to your recreational fund this year? I mean yeah it would be an honor to play on the same card as, dion arlyn, or jason pinkal, or mike key, or jordan tardie, or mike gillespie, or chase estep. Did I miss anyone...... No those are the only ones I'd be honored to play with:whistler: I think I'll just count on people hearing that I'm playing advanced with my stellar 918 rating and counting on my world renowned skills to draw people into the division:rolleyes2:

just kidding shaun, much respect:bowing:

[runnaman]

Used up all of my student printing credits to get everything printed. The tee signs look good and are getting laminated as we speak. I'm really hoping this event fills so that my precious print credits will not have been spent in vain. :P It's all good.

I'll post another registration list on Monday.

Chase, I'm totally bummed but due to back and shoulder problems right now it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it.

Anybody that hasn't signed up I'm sure Chase will be taking "day of" registrations. This is always a fun day at a course many of us don't make it to but this one time a year. I highly recommend that if you are on the fence, get off and head to Dallas for this event.

Bob

[runnaman]

5 days left!

If you haven't registered yet and you plan on coming, please send me a message with your name and division so I can know how many to expect for
(edit*) dinner.

Also, if you are planning on paying day of, remember to bring cash because I will not be accepting checks.

Thank you

[runnaman]

4 days left!

I meant to say DINNER in my last post, not lunch. My parents are coming down and making spaghetti for dinner after the second round.

[runnaman]

Just picked up the tee signs from being laminated and printed the trophy inserts. Everything is looking good for this event.

There are 23 people registered right now which means there are still almost 50 spots left. Come out on Saturday and have a lot of fun playing a (mostly) temporary course.

[runnaman]

3 days left!

If anyone has a canopy that they can bring, please let me know. The forecast calls for 52 degrees with a chance of rain and if it does rain, I would like people to have a place to be dry between rounds.

See you all on Saturday!!

[runnaman]

UPDATE:

I'm sorry, but there aren't enough people for me to provide dinner after the tournament.

Also, check it will start at 8am, not 7am. Please tell everyone you know that check in is later.

This was, as some of you know, the last Dallas event that I will be running. Thank you for a great three years.Thank you Chase for another great Dallas Open! The weather was threatening but never ugly.
In two short years this has become one of my favorite tourneys.
Sorry that you're "retiring". What are you up to now? :confused:

[runnaman]

I will be moving to Portland after I graduate.

I went out to Dallas the other day and stumbled upon a few holes that might make me want to come back next year for another tournament, but we'll see.

Thanks again

[bryan_luoma]

Portland Maine I assume?
