North Idaho Disc Golf Series 2012

[Rapid Fire Jack]

The North Idaho Disc Golf Club will be running a 4 event series of non-sanctioned, one-day, two round events this season. These will be low entry fee ($20 to $30, with $5 discount for NIDGC members) tournaments with a simplified TD-friendly format (no player packs or trophies). Schedule is: May 12 @ Farragut - TD Tom Walker; June 30 @ Cherry Hill - TD Ben Squires (will be on redesigned course); August 11 @ Farragut - TD Jack Wardian; October 27 @ Corbin Park - TD Stuart Autry.:seeya:

Sweet!!!

Going to the Women's Global on May 12th but will try to make the rest.

[General Scales]

I'm looking forward to these. Thanks for posting the dates Jack, I appreciate it.

[Rapid Fire Jack]

Unfortunately Tom Walker is working out of town for another week, so we have to reschedule the Farragut Spring Fling for the following weekend: we are planning on Saturday May 19. Will post sign-in and tee off times here as soon as possible. Still a bit tentative, as we need approval from Farragut State Park also.

August 11th, there is a C-tier in Missoula. I don't know if you mean to compete with that?

[Rapid Fire Jack]

Steve- thanks for the heads up, but actually we are not trying to compete with the regional sanctioned events. Our idea is to present a local-focus simple tournament to cater to the weekly league players. We did try to pick dates when the locals would be least likely to be going to any major tournaments out of state, but it is not our intent to draw significant numbers from any distance. And as a secondary benefit, by keeping the format extremely simple we want to encourage some new faces to venture into the TD role - as a couple have done. :yay: Separate from the North Idaho Series, a few players have mentioned the possibility of running a sanctioned tournament at Farragut sometime this year. Nothing definite at this point, though.
btw- thanks for supporting the NIDGC and participating in some of our weekly league events. I've got $3 with your name on it that you won this week at Corbin. :cheers: See you next time you can make it over.

I cashed? I'm amazed, considering all the good scores.
Why don't you donate that $3 to the club.
Thanks Jack

For those of you who are interested in Playing Tom's event this weekend here's the info that I know as of 2pm Thursday the 17th unless something has changed that I am not aware of:

Registration 8:30 being there early certainly wouldn't hurt
flight out 9:30
tee off by 10am

Hope to see many of you there.

If you have questions feel free to call Jack at Rapid Fire Plastics (208) 691-1126

[General Scales]

Event was awesome. Thanks Jack for stepping up and taking Tom's place. Tom I hope Susie is doing better. Took second in pro. First time cashing. Looking forward to the next one. See you all at Cherry.

[Rapid Fire Jack]

The next event in the North Idaho Series will be Aug. 11 at Farragut. Non-sanctioned 2 round event. Registration from 8:30 to 9:30 followed by a quick players meeting as soon as flights can be organized, and hope to tee off around 10. One round on Wreckreator, one round on a blended Northstar/AWOL course - probably front nine on Northstar and back nine on AWOL. Registration will be $30 for pros, $25 Advanced, $20 Intermediate/Rec, with a $5 discount for NIDGC members. Ace pot $1 with the Club guaranteeing $100 minimum if won. I liked Ben's method at the Cherry Hill Challenge and will do likewise at Farragut, with all divisions receiving cash prizes. No schwag, no player packs, no trophies. TD Jack Wardian.

I think that is truly the best idea. Paying out people in cash usually makes more people want to attend as everyone likes to have a shot at the $. That is what I was planning to do with the Nightmare at Corbin tournament in October. I will make sure I can attend this one.

[Rapid Fire Jack]

Just a reminder that the next event in the North Idaho Series will be the Farragut Spring Fling on saturday Aug. 11. Details provided in an earlier post in this thread. See yo at the 'Gut. :seeya:

[General Scales]

Can't wait for this one. I have a good feeling about this tournament.

[ScottW]

Can't wait for this one. I have a good feeling about this tournament.

Me too! I think it's gonna be so hot your head might :explode:

[Rapid Fire Jack]

Just a reminder - the Farragut Summer Fling will be next Saturday, Aug. 11. Details in the July 6 post on this thread.

[General Scales]

So I'm hoping there is going to be a lot of Spokane peeps showing up for this. Can't wait to be playing the Gut. Love that place

[Yoduh]

I went to Shawna's birthday party at Corbin. It's to bad these events were on the same day. I won $170 though and had a blast! Who won this tourney? Bet they didn't take home 170 lol

Well considering that there were four people that showed up for the whole thing (myself, Scott W, Kric C and Jack B), the tournament didn't take place. With the poor turn out that they've been having, I'm considering not running the last event since I'd be severely disappointed to buy all the OB string, string it up, mark all the mando's and drop zones and then have three people show up for it. That would be a thorn in my side.

[bstullis]

I'll definitely be there with my son at the next one (Corbin in Oct?? I believe). There will be at least 3 (with you there). The Gnilf at the Gut (doesn't look as good as it sounded in my head) would have been fun to play if I wasn't a payday short. Still need to get out and play. No more Saturday only tourneys between now and the end of the season, so you better believe I'll be there.

[DoubleB]

I just found this again. I would really like to play corbin on the 27th. Could be a halloween blast. Stuart let me know if I could help organize/promote. Like Ben was saying closer and more people are comfortable with corbin I would get at least 6 to 8 plus myself there.

[General Scales]

I would gladly take all the volunteers I can get to help with things getting closer to the tournament. Send me a PM and we'll get together to figure out what can be done.

[bstullis]

Just wondering if this is still happening? gotta get my first/last tourney of the season (complete tourney) in before the snow starts falling. Corbin Open (or close) for the end of season would be awesome.

[General Scales]

Still happening unless something drastic happens between now and then. I'd also try to get the Farragut Open in as well as it's happening the weekend before the Nightmare at Corbin.

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on this site. For the October 27th Corbin Tourney, who do i need to get into contact with concerning helping prepare the course as well as signing up? I saw the name of the TD, so i guess a username would help so that i could just shoot them a message.

General Scales - aka Stuart Autry - is the TD. He is the post that is right above yours. I am sure he could put you to work and would appreciate advance sign ups.

[BangDEMChains]

Bingo, thanks Scott, I have been in touch and we are good to go! Thanks for the info!

[prospect]

Hey General, do you have a flyer made up for your tourney? Can I register day of, or do I need to make a trip to Rapid Fire? Sanctioned? Cost? The world needs to know!

Hey Prospect, I sent Scales a message a couple of weeks ago and he filled me in with the following info: (Apologies If things have changed since, but i havent heard anything!!!:) ) Sign ups can be made the morning of the event. He said sign in is going to be 8:00 to 9:00 and then teeing off by 9:30 in the morning for the first round. Intermediate is $15, Advanced is $20, and $25 pro. (I dont know if this implies it is sanctioned, I have no idea as this will be my first tourney!)
-Like I said, these parameters were discussed several weeks ago, but since i havent heard of anything changing, I am going to have to ASSUME that everything is going as previously planned.


Hope this helps - Thanks!

[ScottW]

It's not sanctioned. That was one of the big things this year for the North Idaho Disc Golf Series - no sanctioning. We'll see about next year. This should be fun though. I look forward to seeing some faces that I haven't seen for quite some time.

[General Scales]

So here is the situation as it stands. I have been trying to contact Brian at the Post Falls Parks Department making sure it is copacetic that I lay out all the OB string needed. So far he has not gotten back to me as it being an issue. I am at this point assuming that is absolutely fine to do so. So the details are as follows.

Nightmare Layout @ Corbin:
October 27th, 2012.
Sign in 8:00 to 9:00 am
Flight out by 9:30
Two rounds, 1 hour lunch break after last cards are turned in.
20 for Intermediate, 25 for Advanced, 30 for Open (5 dollar discount for current NIDGC members).
Ace Pot being run for 1 dollar a person.

Hope to see everyone out there, should be a blast! I'll be out there early Friday actually laying out all the OB and Mando's that are necessary. If you want to come out there and help in the layout, please send me a PM and we'll get it all figured out.

Thanks everyone!
Stuart A.

[General Scales]

Due to unforeseen circumstances that arose at the last minute with the Parks Department in Post Falls, the Nightmare Layout at Corbin has been cancelled. There will be no tournament tomorrow morning at Corbin for which I apologize. It was set in concrete up until two weeks ago. I will be running an Ice Bowl at Corbin (with a lot of the idea's that were in the Nightmare Layout being used for the Ice Bowl layout) sometime next year.

Once again, I will say, the Nightmare at Corbin has been cancelled. Once again I will apologize for all of those that were planning on coming out.

Sincerely,
Stuart A.

[ScottW]

But check the above meet to play disc golf thread if you are still interested in playing an "organized" round or two.

[Sgt_Mac]

Bringing out the Family anyway early tomorrow AM for an organized round.... My wife, myself and the 6 year old will be there --- anyone else?

[General Scales]

Fun round today, 11 people showed (110 into payout) all paid into the ace pot (55 bucks) Winner took 70 bucks for two rounds! Ace pot was played off as a CTP, 40 to winner, 15 to second. Good times, Mac, remind me to bring you those Core's for your lady and kid, that was awesome of them to show and I want to thank them for it. I know that layout was a little difficult. Thanks to everyone for showing up. I'll be doing it again in two weeks at Cherry. Let's get more people out there, get a bigger payout, bigger ace pot.
