Allright guys danni, being the official TD, put out all the general info, so heres some specifics, and oh by the ways.

* this is the first year of this tourney being a sanctioned c tier, we're excited to take things up an extra notch, with rated rounds and an extra day of 27 holes

* just like last year my backyard is open for whoever would like to camp for free, ask peter, beau, nathan, and anyone else who was here how much fun drunk 31 is the night before an event:cheers:

* we've created a new side game that will test not only the accuracy of your final lie but also the accuracy of the flight path you took to get there...

*also the first year with an open field, im hoping itll look something like this...beau, peter, nathan, chandler, rolly, baby jesus, rideout, rey, lou, me...yeah i may try to take down the big boys it is my course after all:trophy: king of the island has a nice ring to it...

*final 9 pro/am skins again this year, new safari holes and plenty of cash to throw around

We hope to see plenty of familiar faces and some new ones as well...we have so much fun putting this on!! Six weeks to go, cant wait to see you all:biggrin2:

[Rolly]

I'm planning on signing up soon, really hoping to make this one! Will the final 9 skins be for top 3,4,5 Open finishers? 27 on the final day is a nice touch, lots of golf!

[Yammits]

Top four pro division total scores plus ties, so theoretically we could have two open, one master, and one grandmaster...but only am divisions from advanced on down are allowed to buy raffle tickets to get in the skins, so we dont have a cook/stimpi team like at aloha, this will be a true pro am skins, alternate shot with ams teeing off every other hole regardless of the previous holes outcome. Does that make sense?:angel:

I love these smileys im such a 12 year old girl

[Danni]

We will be at the WHITE RIVER OPEN this weekend (July 7 & 8), so feel free to sign-up for the tournament with us or grab a flyer to place at your home course.

Cash, Check, and Credit Cards will be accepted on-site at White River!

[Danni]

Is pleased to start announcing some sponsorships for the RISING ISLAND OPEN! :trophy:


Fresh Balls/ Fresh Breasts has graciously made a PRODUCT DONATION !!


Sugar Hair Removal Studio has graciously made a CASH DONATION as well as items for the raffle!!


Elements Bar & Casino has graciously made a CASH DONATION, items for the raffle, as well as FREE APPETIZERS & SODA for the PLAYERS PARTY!! :cheers:


Disc Addiction has graciously made a CASH DONATION as well as items for the raffle!!


If you or your club would like to donate items for the raffle or sponsor a hole ($20) please contact Tim or Danni at 850-426-1514

Yes Tim, make sense to me. Looking forward to it.

[Danni]

I am excited to announce that on SUNDAY the 19th we will have a professional sports photographer at the tournament.

He will be photographing players as they play as well as taking photos of people enjoying the side games!

Ever wished you could have a "great action shot" up on your wall, well here is your chance!! :merlin:


Thank You Oak Harbor Sports for agreeing to be on-site for our tournament!

[Yammits]

Great time in auburn this weekend, I was really thrilled how many people not only asked about RIO3 but how many of you cant wait to get up to the island for it in august. It seems to me we're going to have a very strong open field, and plenty of people filling out every division. The cap is 80 so dont get left caddying for your buddy:headbang:

[mazza]

if my car gets fixed in time. i would love to come play this event. but my question is can i sign up for the juniors division as that's about where my skill level is right about now. HAHAHAHA:jumpspin::nahnah::laughing:

[Yammits]

If you plan on camping at my house one or both nights let me know about it here, I need to have a semi decent idea of how many loons i'll be responsible for so I know how many police scanners to buy at this auction coming up...remember camping is free liquid donations are looked upon with favor

[Yammits]

zac ruziska is officially making his return to the island to get smoked on fort nugent's course once again, pretty exciting news for this guy, i miss my heterolifemate

[Yammits]

Already up to five tents in my backyard, which I love to see, room for plenty more still, we have tons of space. The job of cleaning the course up has begun with two goals in mind: #1 to make it look as pristine as possible for that great aesthetic disc golf experience #2 to take the course and through various additions and subtractions, make it play as tough as possible. This may be a "shorter" course but trust me when I say we're gonna make you bring every shot in your bag to take a title home. And someone ask me a question, make a comment, poke fun at me, SOMETHING lol, I'm tired of reading my own posts and keeping you all insanely overinformed. 31 days to go!

[Danni]

I will start entering names soon!!

THANKS for those of you that have pre-registered - keep'em coming...

this is jacob pole i think i will be puting up up a tent saves on gas:cheers::cheers:

[Yammits]

good to go pole, I'll add you to the guest list and I'm not sure why you put smiley faces clinging beer glasses, alcohol is evil and will not be tolerated at my house you deviant:laughing:

[LakeStevensBA]

alcohol is evil and will not be tolerated at my house you deviant:laughing:

Speaking of no alcohol....Yammits...I'm sorry I stood up and fell on you during our poker game at the White River Open. You were between me and the cooler so you really ended up in a bad seat...

I'm bringing a keg of Mac n Jacks to Shelton so please take note NOT to stand between me and the keg!

:cheers:

[J.P.]

We haven't met before, but I will on Blake Island earlier that week, and was hoping to just stick around and play a tournament since I would be over there. It would help out if I didn't have to pay for a place to camp. It would most likely be just me and my girl. Let me know if you have room?

Thanks


JP

[Yammits]

Yeah J.P. still plenty more room in the backyard, I sent you a private message as well. BA, watching you try to get up like a turtle on his back, was well worth sitting in that seat my friend lol

[Danni]

We will be at the SHOWDOWN IN SHELTON this weekend (July 21 & 22), so feel free to sign-up for the tournament with us or grab a flyer to place at your home course.

Cash, Check, and Credit Cards will be accepted on-site at Shelton!

[bowlermann]

do you have any disc addiction shirts??

[Danni]

do you have any disc addiction shirts??

Heya,

Yes we have several different kinds of shirts, so I'm not sure which one you mean.

"Eat Sleep Disc Golf"
"Disc Golf Like" (facebook goof)
"Slashing Aces" (available in short and long sleeve)

The only shirt you might have seen that we don't offer for sale is the ones the team players wear at the tournaments.

You can use scrip or cash at RIO to purchase these and the Disc Addiction hats.

will you have them at aquafest? and do you sell innova putters. jk or kc pro aviars to be specific.

[Danni]

will you have them at aquafest? and do you sell innova putters. jk or kc pro aviars to be specific.

Yup, we'll have them with us, not a problem!

Yes, we sell Innova, BUT we won't be selling plastic at Aquafest, I believe Guy will have the plastic selling "duty" there, and he normally has a good selection.

We'll have PLENTY of plastic for sale and to be used with script for RIO3 though. :cheerleader:

[drkstr]

Hello Danni ~ Looking forward to checking out your shirts at Aquafest ~ I saw in the Aquafest thread that you may be bringing a dyed disc or two for CPT's.....now that's a CTP I'd like to win. See you Saturday.

AHHH aren't you sweet... yes I'm trying to do a one of a kind "trophy style" for the CTP winner, just waiting on BA's input. I did something special for Shelton and I really liked it.

Glad you guess are liking the dyes!! www.DiscAddiction.com for some of the newest designs requested at Shelton (although I still have more of those to add, people really came up with some great ideas for dye jobs this year at Shelton)

[Yammits]

Oh and since it was mentioned to me that defending champ Jason Van Proyen felt left out of my lil wish list of top players, here's your shout out man, come try to take my title from me again :trophy:

looks like I need to put Jason VP and Yammits on the same card for the first round at Aquafest tomorrow......

Jason...reigning champ of Rising Island
Yammits....reigning winner of a $600 putt at Shelton

I may add Chris Gilberts too just so the group isn't too quiet or confident.

Guess I'll have to caddy AKA chaperone tomorrow... MAN will the smack talk be loud =) :nono:

[Yammits]

Thats funny stuff BA, sounds like a good card to me though, bring it on!

[Pizzel]

Is there a current registration list posted anywhere? Thanks!

[Yammits]

Is there a current registration list posted anywhere? Thanks!

Ill have the current list up on pdga.com by monday, i have to get in touch with rideout so he can walk me through the process

[Yammits]

As promised the first upload of players is available on pdga.com, the site seems to be semi-down at the moment but I'm sure it'll be remedied soon. Good to have Rodney and Rey Rey up at Fort Nugent yesterday doing a little prep work prior to RIO (and trying to hit a huge ace pot $226, sorry boys it's still growing), As we get closer to the tourney I'll be playing Sunday doubles (noon) and Wednesday handicap league (545PM) with a few of the temp holes in place. This way if people want to get a feel for a some of the holes of the the 27 on RIO Sunday they'll have a chance in the weeks prior to grab a sneak peek. We played old 10 and old 17 yesterday and I got very nostalgic, and pissed that Rey parked 10 from 450 feet:confused: We also just added another sponsor, GoBig Paintball from Bellingham kicked in $100 dollars cash and a ten player party pack for their paintball field valued at $300. We'll figure out a good way to give that sucker away maybe it'll be the prize for my new accuracy game...getting close guys 19 days left :yay:

[Danni]

I'm thrilled to announce a change to the player's party Saturday night...

Originally the party was going to be at Bayside Casino/ Elements Bar, BUT we have a new sponsorship with FLYERS RESTAURANT AND BREWERY!! Don't worry about hurt feelings those owners are actually friends, and this was THEIR idea :)

So along with a nice cash donation from Flyers, they are offering a SPECIAL MEAL FOR JUST US DISC GOLFER on SATURDAY NIGHT!


Disc Golf Tournament Banquet
Saturday Night BBQ!

Sausages, Burgers, and Wild King Salmon on the Flight Deck!
Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Corn on the Cob, and all the fixins!
12.00 inclusive

***Includes a pint of beer, well drink, soda or house wine with your bbq!***


$3.00 Pints all night! Live Music till 10:00


So join us Saturday night, after the last round, and help us say THANK YOU to this AMAZING sponsor (located just a few minutes drive from the course)

32295 State Route 20 Oak Harbor, WA 98277
(360) 675-5858

[Danni]

Keep in mind that you'll have to pay an additional fee to sign up after August 16th, so help a TD out and get pre-registered ASAP :)

We still have a little room in the yard for tents, so call Yammits to get on that list.

If you'd prefer a hotel:
http://www.acornmotorinn.com/
http://www.queenannemotel.com/
Both are super close to the course, the Acorn might be "newer/ cleaner"

We hear the excitement is building for this tournament and that tickles me to hear... I have spent many months trying to make this an event that you'll remember!

If I can help in any way, feel free to contact me, or Tim!

[Danni]

Did you hear yet?!?!?!

Elements Night Club/ Bayside Casino is sponsoring (again this year) the BOGEY RAFFLE!!

This is FREE and included for all players 21+ years-old.

WHAT is a Bogey Raffle? It's simple, for every bogey (or worse) that you score during the tournament, we will put your name on a raffle ticket... then randomly select a ticket and YOU'RE THE BIG WIENER of RIO3!!

Just a little "extra" that this great sponsor likes to toss into the mix of fun!

We got a rash of sign-ups over the weekend, so I'll spend some time tonight updating the current PDGA players list!

[Danni]

As you can see things are updating fast around here now that we are well under 2 weeks until the tournament, but I'm excited to announce a few new sponsors!!

*O'Nuts Smoked Almonds - sponsored a T-sign and will have their delicious almonds for-sale AT the tournament!

*Nancy & Jack Lorber sponsored a T-sign!

*Mando's Disc Golf in Auburn has volunteered to add some shwag to the raffle - THANKS Tom Bontempo

*Whidbey Island's very own Chris & Rachel Ruddell have made a cash donation to be used for the TROPHIES!!

Remember without GREAT sponsors, and kind donations we could never manage to have the high payouts we are known for! :cheerleader:

*** ONLY 5 t-signs left ***

[Danni]

I want to take a second to answer a rumor that is swirling around...

OPEN PLAYERS ARE BEING PAID IN CASH!

The only time an open player would be paid in scrip is if they REQUEST to be paid in scrip to keep their amateur status.

The only thing we are doing different then the norm for Open players is EVERY PLAYER, that pre-registers, will get a players pack (and this includes the open divisions). We have wonderful sponsors this year and the sponsors paid for every item in the players packs!

I hope that clears up any confusion!

[Danni]

:cheerleader:We're under 30 slots left!! :cheerleader:

If you're mailing a payment, please shoot me a PM and let me know.

As a reminder the online payment will end the evening of the 16th.

Please also remember ALL sign-ups AFTER August 16th will cost you an additional $5 "late sign up fee" so save yourself a few bucks and get signed up now.

I did get a rash of online and in person sign-ups last night so I'll update the online PDGA members list tonight! A big thanks to all of you that have registered early, it really does make the TD's job a bit easier.

Can't wait to see everyone next weekend, the weather looks AMAZING here on the island! :dancing:

[Danni]

I wanted to post some new details for everyone!

1) The trophies are done and I must confess I LOVE THEM! Also be aware that EVERY division we offered WILL get a trophy, regardless of how many entries are in that division!! We don't move players to a division just because we didn't have 4+ players in a division.

2) FIRST PLACE IN ADVANCED MEN and INTERMEDIATE MEN will get an INNOVA BASKET! Just a little extra to be playing for this year!

3) We will be giving away a basket and a $300 paintball package as prizes for our side games!

4) pro/am skins raffle will be a 50%/50% split

5) We only have 3 t-signs left if you'd like to sponsor a hole.


We're under a week left until we kick this tournament off!

Thank you to all of you that came out to the island this past weekend, I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Some highlights for the weekend were:

1) Several pros had their first cash wins.
2) Brandon Parsons had his first pro win.
3) Wills set a new course record of -13.
4) The skins team of Kenny Clark/ Jayden Johnson won all the skins for $720.
5) Ray Sanchez was the last player in the pool going into the last round with a chance at the birdie pot, but lost it :(
6) We had 3 ACES in tournament play (Jon Wills, Nate Felix, and Danny Delgado), but no one hit the huge ACE pot in doubles on Friday.
7) Our largest division was PRO MEN 0.o
8) Jason Carr CRUSHED a drive in skins (we're still going to measure it but it's around 580+ feet)
9) We had 8 women play (the most I have had at a tournament and I hope that keeps growing each year!)
10) The cops WEREN'T called to my house even with nearly 3 dozen players at or around.


We look forward to seeing you all back next year!!
