any idea when the player list will be posted on the pdga site?

We had 23 pre-registrations at the Rosebud fundraiser. We will update the list to pdga soon, before Friday for sure.

Check it. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/82452%2526348069100)

We are capping two divisions in the interest of balanced flights. MA1 will be capped at 48 (12 spots are already taken due to early registration at the Rose Bud) and MM1 will be capped at 24 (3 spots are already taken due to early registration at the Rose Bud.)

If the pro flight does not look like it will round itself out, we will then pull from the waitlist to fill the amateur divisions to levels similar to last year. As we get closer to tee time, an official schedule with flight assignments will be posted and emailed to registered players who we have addresses for.

[JR Stengele]

^ Thank you. :cheers:

[Tanya Spence]

This tourney is next on my list as far as "eagerly awaiting registration" goes. (:
My calendar is quickly filling up with PDX tourney awesomeness.
Can't wait!

Thanks for the info.

[Lund]

Just a reminder that online registration is now open at:

http://www.4DiscGolf.com/12RCO

In fact 14 people registered in the first 10 minutes.

Additional information, including waitlist signup should any division fill, is available at www.rosecityopen.com. We will post the schedule and final pool assignments in the coming weeks on that site as well.

[essjay]

Just registered. 10 minutes in and less than 1/2 remaining. :cheers:

[Lund]

Crawfolk in the house!

The number of remaining spots is misleading though. It only represents one pool...20 online registrations + 23 pre-registrations = 46/144

[essjay]

Ah! I was wondering that very thing :-) good call clearing that one up on the boards. I wouldn't want to cause a panic.

It's fixed on the site now.

[Matt B.]

It's fixed on the site now.

Wish I could make it this year. :waaah:

[Lund]

Well the 2012 RCO is just over half full. There are 11 spots remaining in each of the MA1 and MM1 divisions according to our tentative division caps of 48 and 24, respectively.

We will give all pro and the FA1 divisions a couple weeks or so to build and at that point we might be able to let in more MA1 and MM1 but please don't leave that to chance!

Current registration has been uploaded to the pdga page (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/82452%2526832472515).

Anyone else having trouble with online registration?

Is there still room in open?

Try another browser. It did not work for me in Chrome, so I switched to Firefox.

[Reichard]

Am I the only one that refuses to donate but loves the "tip" option? Funny, guess I prefer to reward those working rather than those playing.

Tip your TDs!!!

[Lund]

Update: At this moment there is 1 spot remaining in the Advanced Men's (MA1) division.

[Lund]

And now the MA1 division is full. As mentioned earlier we may open up some more spots for amateurs depending on the registration in the pro divisions in the coming week or 2 in which case we will offer spots to people on the waitlist in the order that requests are received.

To signup for the Advanced Men's waitlist fill out the form on this page (http://www.rosecityopen.com/register) of the rosecityopen.com website.

Picked up a new sponsor the other day! GT, the owner of the Goodfoot, added some cash for the RCO. The Goodfoot (http://thegoodfoot.com/) is a pretty sweet spot to catch music, play pool, view some art, and grab a drink. Mr. Moro knows what I'm talking about!

Be sure to visit them, they are looking to get more involved with the disc golf scene.

[all2common]

The pro side of the event has until May 4th to fill itself up, after that we will pull players from the wait list to fill the tournament. At that time we will post an official schedule of the weekend's happenings.

If anybody needs an incentive, we have $1,000 of added cash going into the pro payouts.

[RonTheWhip]

I will be signing up for Pro shortly! I love this event and hope there is still time for me to get in. It just comes down to pay day baby!

[RonTheWhip]

Ah, screw waiting for payday, I don't need to eat anything this week...I am in.

I would like to see Andrew Rich at this event, his game is a good fit for this course. I also thought Dave Feldberg was traveling with a couple of really good players, maybe he forgot to tell them about this one.

Where are:
Tim Skellenger
Tyler Christensen
Nate Sexton ( I think Nate hates Pier)
Colin Sexton
Cory Coates ( I know he had a wonderful new child but come on Portland Disc Golf needs this guy)
Leland O'Driscoll

These guys are all kick ass golfers who should be at this event tearing it up.

Haha, Nate totally does hate Pier...

[geo_ducks]

Just signed up. I was waiting until I scheduled my dissertation defense (May 22). It has been a dry stretch of tournament play since last fall for me. Looking forward to some competition again.

I just played Pier a few weeks ago, liked the "winter layout." Will it be back into traditional placements soon?

The summer layout (mostly to all short positions) will be back ~first weekend of May. The RCO layout (mostly longs) will be in place shortly before the tournament.

Good luck with the defense! I would think the RCO would be a great little vacation/reward a few days later.

Nice work Leland, that is a major achievement! I wish you all the best and a smooth defense.

I see that but a field of two is lonely. Clearly the RCO has a stronger following!

[ski2man]

so i am pretty sure that a few days ago i was 13th on the waitlist, now it seems i am 17th...i am confused...maybe retarded for thinking i was 13th. i think i have a pretty good memory, would have saved the page if i thought for one minute i would have gotten bumped. maybe I'm totally wrong? oh well...stupid of me to not sign up soon enough, didn't know if i could do it.

Todd-
The waitlist has not been rearranged at all. Your waitlist submission on 4/17/2012 at 7:22 does put you at 17th.

Note that if we do not get more than 11 additional pro registrations by May 4th we will likely increasing the MA1 field by 12-16.

right on, i knew i was crazy :slapface:

well, perhaps i will just make it...or more likely, just miss it :)

thanks!

[Lund]

Just a reminder that Pros have until the end of the day this Friday, May 4th to register for the RCO. There are ~ 9 spots remaining until then and we know of at least 3 other people who plan to register which would leave ~ 6 slots.

If those spots are not claimed by pros we will increase the MM1 field by 4 (to 28) which will essentially fill that Pool (MPO,FPO,MPM, MM1)

Also on Friday we will increase the MA1 field, depending on FA1 registrations between now and then. It is looking like the MA1 field will be 60 at least.

All of these spots will be filled in order from the waitlist, and we will email those people who have been waiting patiently with registration instructions.

Suuhhweeet!! :rockon:I am really wanting some revenge on Pier...maybe this year I can get some sleep. Competing on three hours sleep is not a recipe for success! Number two on the waitlist is looking solid

[Lund]

We are increasing the MA1 field to 60 and have had a couple withdrawals from the MM1 division (+ 1 player switching to MA1).

I just sent emails or PMs to #1-12 on the MA1 waitlist (http://www.rosecityopen.com/node/16) and #1-3 on the MM1 waitlist (http://www.rosecityopen.com/node/16) with an invitation and link to register. If you are one of the people on those lists check your inbox.

Please register or let Justin or I know your intention as soon as possible so that we can proceed down the waitlist as need be.

Thanks,
Eric

[Portland Rebel]

Thanks for the shout-out Flash! I've been out chewin' up the roads and doing some road races & chasin' around the little one so I have only played a couple times over the last 18 months. I will truly be missing a great event, although I hope to get out and caddy a round on Sunday like last year.

Good luck to you all!!

Top two players in the world ain't good enough ?

( I know what you mean but to get Dave and Nikko is pretty good eh)

[Nate Sexton]

Haha I don't hate pier! I do tend to shoot well below my rating and take about 7th place every year at the RCO though. If I play anything that weekend it will be LCO, only because it will be the only A-tier I would get to play this year. Hope the RCO goes great, good luck to everyone.

[Lund]

Advanced Women-

This is your last call to sign up for the RCO. At present there are 7 ladies signed up, or 2 cards. 2 more would make three cards of 3!

Otherwise we will soon offer 4 more spots to #13-16 on the MA1 waitlist and increase their field to 64.

[Yammits]

I talked to...someone haha I can't recall who, but apparently I was 9th on the waiting list and I haven't seen a PM in my box, so just wanted to post this up here and see if anyone can give me a little info, Thanks!!

I sent you an email earlier today, actually. You and everyone can see the waitlist at rosecityopen.com (http://www.rosecityopen.com/node/16). Originally you were #21 on the waitlist. Yes, as of right now you are #9.

Stay tuned. We are tentatively looking at rearranging the pool assignments including an MA1 only pool. This would mean everyone on the waitlist gets in and the tournament is full pending the registrations from the waitlist.

[Jason Philips]

That is great news. I hope that works out. I was debating between LCO and the RCO and I would prefer to play on my home course.

I was actually given that link by DGShawn, on another thread, because this issue came up about the 2 tourneys there as well!

You're very welcome on the dyed discs, I had a BLAST at ASC (it was our first but not last visit) You guys seem to really enjoy me dyeing discs on the spot, and I had fun doing it!! I'm going to see if I can "keep myself busy" dyeing discs at The Showdown II (in Shelton Springs) and the White River Open (in Auburn) too. :seeya:

If I counted right there are 69 dudes competing in Advanced...holy moly!! I am sooo looking forward to this one! Thanks to the TDs for fitting more of us in.

Yep there are currently 69 MA1 registered. One more has indicated he will register. That means there are actually 2 spots left if there are any takers.

[Jason Philips]

Not sure if this has been answered. I am heading out to Pier tomorrow but curious if the course will be played in the winter setup of the summer setup? If the summer setup is being played, any idea when it will be in the tournament layout?

[Lund]

Not sure if this has been answered. I am heading out to Pier tomorrow but curious if the course will be played in the winter setup of the summer setup? If the summer setup is being played, any idea when it will be in the tournament layout?

The course should return to the summer layout on Monday. When that happens the baskets will be in the Rose City Open Saturday layout. We are planning to move some baskets (~ half of them) before Sunday's rounds.

We will post the RCO layout details here when we have that sorted out, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks to Dave Blado for all work to return the course to the summer layout and also for agreeing to move baskets on Saturday evening. Also Dave and PPR continue to do great things out there to improve the conditions on the course. Gravel paths continue to go in and are being lined with native plantings, and there are now 2 drains in the vicinity of teepad 12. Awesome stuff.

Seriously, you just can't say enough good things about Dave Blado and all the hard work that goes into improving this park. Initially I was worried that losing hole 18 from the summer layout would be a crushing blow to the course, but after playing the winter layout and my new favorite hole (#6!!!:rockon:)I will be sad to see it revert back to the original layout.

And then it struck me; my favorite course can now be played on two different layouts and that is nothing but a good thing.:yay::bowing::yay:

So on most non-event Sundays at 9am you can find me putting my money into the donation bucket before heading out for my weekly devotion to this crazy thing we call disc golf.

And as it was already said the work that has gone into this course is awesome. Every improvement has such an impact and makes me proud to call Pier my home course.

I thought there was a long pin location for #16. We played it in a tournament several years ago. Does this pin option still exist? Thanks for all the hard work by TD's, stumptown, etc. to make this course great!!!!:)

Note that on Friday there will be a random draw doubles ($5 buy-in, check in 4:30 - 5:15, tee off 5:30). Thanks, Jordan Lewis for running this again!!!!

We will also have early check-in for the RCO at Pier on Friday for a couple hours, beginning at 4:30.

So come on down to get first pick of your player's pack disc and hat (amateurs), practice on the RCO layout, and play some doubles.

Great choices, Lund! I especially agree with 18. Greater score seperation for 18 in the "short" placement. That makes the hole count more coming down to the wire.

Thanks for all your hard work Eric. And for posting the hole locations. Can't wait!

Well I am only half of the team but thanks for the kind words. That is what Justin and I were hoping with regards to 18 and some of the other holes. We could have some good data after a couple years worth of rounds to assess score variation on different holes and placements.

I think we said something about entering hole by hole scores into a spreadsheet last year too. It didn't happen but we have the scorecards in a box somewhere.

Anyone know if Dustin Keegan is at full health and ready to shred Pier? Rumor had it that he was a little hurt and in pain after the Walla Walla event.

Steve yang and I played today and the course looks great with the gravel walkouts, cant wait to for this weekend

I heard nikko is going to be playing RCO but the big news is Jeff Elliott will also be playing and signing autographs after each round for 30 minutes don't miss your chance to get his autograph and make some money on e-bay:angel:

[columbia gorge discgolf]

I just ran to Cosco and grabbed an entire case of Sharpies!! Rest assured Jeff Will be prepared for the onslaught.

As long as you catch him before he can sit down with that onslaught he should be out for the rest of the event.:slapface:

[emmarose]

hey all you kids!

just wanted to say that i will truly miss experiencing this event this weekend with all of you... i sure do love me some pier park and i know that lundy and hiatt do a fantastic job of running a smooth show! however... there are rufflebutts to be worn and nonsanctioned events to be occupied in my world so while you are putting your putts dead center chains i will be thinking fondly of you as i take dead aim at some 3/4 inch copper pins and get back to my roots...

have the most awesome of times everyone!

FYI- Friends of Pier Park has created a Pier Park 10th anniversary disk. It is a KC Pro Roc with a great stamp. I think it's $15.00, and all of the money will be going back into the park. Please buy one so we can continue to build better paths and continue maintanance around the park.

And where can we get one?

Eric and Justin, will each pool play the same number of rounds on each layout?

It seems like the baskets would have to move after the first round on sunday so that each pool had two rounds on the first set of placements and then each pool would have one round on the last set of placements. If you mix it up people who are trying to qualify for the ORDGC would be restricted to their pools for qualification and it will make the TD Report a little more involved.

And we're off! MA1 first round is in the books and (unofficial) round scores are here (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/82452%25262080785292)....Flight B, including MPO, MPM, FPO, MM1 and FA1 are halfway through their second round and the sun is coming out.

Living a mile from the course helps!

Day 1 is in the books and the results are here (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/82452%2526353979645). Tbe MA1 ratings changed (went up) just a bit as now all of the day's rounds are factored in together. Keep in mind that right now all rounds from today are rated together. We will be interested to see if and how they change when we submit the TD report and the different flights get sorted out.....

Mike Medlock sure got started with a bang! As in an ace on his first throw of the tournament! Anyone ever heard of that before? He got it on hole 5.

And holy hannah the rain started coming down hard (as we were all tallied up, packed up, and driving away from the course). It's supposed to be pretty decent tomorrow. We'll do our best to get any wet teepads cleaned up in the morning after all this rain.

Thanks everyone for the timely check-ins, smooth rounds, and the clean, error free scorecards thus far. We'll see you tomorrow.

p.s. Eric and Justin wish Benotsch was here.

[Sam]

Awesome job so far, Eric and Justin. :cheers:

Me too, although the scores in MPM look like I would have been left in the dust!

Eric and Justin ran an awesome tourney!

I got some quality video despite bizarre battery problems. I'd put a charged battery in and it would say it was empty. I'd pull it out put another charged battery in and it would also say empty. After constant switching of batteries, finally one would pop up charged.

I missed some shots but got some great footage of MPO lead card and 2nd card.

As far as I know, I was told that Chris Becker took 1st, Sean Phillips 2nd, Scott Withers 3rd, and James Moore 4th. Doug Salty won Pro Masters!

I'm going to try and grind this video up on YouTube. As far as I know I got the first birdie (on video) on hole 15 long by James Moore. James parked it for a 3' reach in putt and the gallery went BANANAS! Also notable, Sean Phillips birdied hole 1 long, 3rd round and I think this is also the first birdie on video of this hole. If not I think it is at least the 1st birdie (on video) in a PDGA sanctioned event.

Sean played spectacularly. On hole 11, he pierced the gap and no one could find his disc. There were 20 people from the gallery looking for his drive and it just disappeared. Nikko Locastro climbed up on someone's shoulders and climbed over the rooftop of the decaying hobbit hut thing near the basket of hole 11 and looked inside but it wasn't there either. Time ran out and Sean had to re-tee for 3 and parked it 20' past the basket and canned the 4 putt.

Any my friends. THAT IS HOW YOU RUN A B-TIER. Great Job Eric and Justin, thats as smooth as they can go at least from a players point of view. Thank you for all the effort, getting sponsors is HUGE. Hopefully people hooked you guys up with a little money for running it.

Very happy with how the whole weekend went.

Thanks again

Thanks Josh. I have never played with that much nervous energy. 54 holes of trying to catch my breath and slow my heart down. Trophy should be hanging at Jimmy's Bar and Grill by now, I think. :cheers:

Thanks to Eric and Justin for such a great, well run tournament! Everything ran smoothly and on time and I had a blast with each and every one of the lovely women I got to play with. For my first time playing at Pier, I think it was a pretty successful weekend!

Thanks again guys for all your hard work and efforts in putting this tournament on. I'll be back for sure!

I mentioned in the lost and found thread as well but we did find a stool when packing up at the end of the event on Sunday. We are looking into it and will get back to Aaron.

Wondering when I will be able to spend my scrip at Next Adventure..

Thank you dudes again.. Very fun tourney!

We emailed a list of scrip payout to Next Adventure yesterday morning. Justin is going to print a copy and drop off at the store in the next few hours. You should be good to go shopping there with your scrip starting later today.

[Tim Price]

Justin and Eric,

Thank you for letting Play it Again Sports be a part of this tournament. Even though I did not get to play I would like to tell you that it was a fun, well run and well executed event. You guys rock! Hopefully next year I can play instead of being a caddie.

Any update on the final round video being posted?

[Bullseye Disc Golf.com]

Yes the video is up!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31ttBxu44Is

I added a new piece of hardware into the production chain and the commentary audio track ended up being a little hot and the export pushed the levels up even further.

Without going too deep into video production lingo, the HD resolution and the length of this video makes it a 10 hour export and a 20 hour upload to YouTube's servers. I could upload a new version but then the commentary could be too low in the mix.

The best and easiest solution is to turn the volume on your computer down below half way and you should be good to go. I will correct this in future videos.

Probably the next one to go up will be 2012 BSF.

This is a lot of fun to be able to post this footage so the TD's, volunteers, and the players that are playing while this round is going on, can see the footage that they could not have seen while it happened live.

My approach to filming Disc Golf is to always if possible, show the feet and the tee pad in the shot. Footwork is the "foundation" of a successful swing and it's nice to be able to see what it's supposed to look like with the better players. I honestly don't know if anyone else pays attention to this but there are a lot of crummy videos on YouTube.

Great video, Steve! The commentary is pretty rad, too.
