Of the three colored stacks, the tallest and the shortest are the Champ Katanas. The tall stack makes up the heavy Katanas 170+ & the short stack makes up the light Katanas 167-169.

The other tall stack of color is made up of Gummy Rhynos.

I will be bringing a handful of this plastic to Walla Walla with me; glad to see you're signed up for this one, Killa.

I meant to inquire about the front stack all the way to the right in the picture. The discs near the top are the same color as the other glow molds pictured, but the bottom 2/3rds of the stack is distinctly darker. I'm just wondering what's up with that.

good to see you at Aloha, Mike. and I'll be sure to throw more than 2 shots at your next WSS basket toss qualifier!!

Looks like alot of the touring pros will be in Sweden the same weekend for the Stockholm Open.

Ive been to only a handful of tournaments and was looking forward to seeing some of the guys I'm always hearing/reading about. Atleast Dion will be at the FSO and it sounds like he's one of the top guys on tour this year!

Guess I'll have to try again next year to get into the Beaver.....damn raffle!

can anyone tell me how it is possible that a 1001 rated player is signed up in advanced?

Rideout · #30 June 14th, 2011, 12:19 PM

No player is ever forced to go pro. A player that chooses to stay amateur is doing nothing wrong.

Collegiate disc golf eligibility requirements.

http://ncdgu.com/eligibility

In order to compete for the title of Collegiate Disc Golf Team Champion, each member of the team shall meet the following criteria:

A. Currently registered as a student at an accredited college/university.

B. If the student is also a member of the Professional Disc Golf Association, he/she must maintain amateur status.

mcbentz · #32 June 14th, 2011, 02:19 PM

After the Jun 21st rating update he will no longer be 1000 rated...

jWest · #33 June 14th, 2011, 02:23 PM

okie dokie, just looked odd enough i thought i would ask. i'm sure he'll get flipped enough shit from people in his own division that i'll back off

Looks like he shot super hot in his first PDGA event! He carded a 1044 rated round along with several 980-990 rounds. He has played a few other tourneys since then and although he did well, I don't think he will be able to hang on to the 1000 rating.

Congrats to him for winning the College Disc Golf Championships and I deff look forward to playing against him in the FSO.

Where are all the touring pros that were suppose to make it up from the Beaver State Fling?

ScottW · #36 June 14th, 2011, 04:12 PM

I hate to ask questions that may have already been answered elsewhere but I did look on the registration link and read all the posts in this thread and I am wondering when online registration closes for FSO? I still have a small possibility of being able to play but won't know until much closer to showtime. Any info would be appreciated.

Rideout · #37 June 15th, 2011, 08:04 AM

Online registration will stay open until the tourney is filled. As soon as there are 72 amateurs or 72 pros, I'll start a waitlist for either am or pro. As we get within a couple days of the tourney, I'll take players from the waitlist and attempt to balance the two pools to get as many players on the courses as possible.

Have you always wanted to try throwing the Discraft Buzz but didn’t want to buy it before you were able to get your hands on it and give at whirl???

Good News!!!
Scott Papa will be out there between rounds on Saturday for the

Discraft Test Drive

This gives people an opportunity to talk first hand to someone who knows a lot about Discraft plastic and a chance to throw a whole bunch of the Discraft plastic out into the field.

Thanks Scott

I’m sure Dave is a great person, but REVOLUTION dropped the ball big time and I don’t see myself ever doing business with them again (I’d still buy a bag from them). Dave at REVOLUTION did not meet the discussed schedule nor did Dave inform me that the schedule wouldn’t be kept. His product is excellent, but I will not put myself into a position again where I’m relying on him to be punctual or even informative.

Anyway, I do appreciate the deal REVOLUTION did give and I’m happy I will receive bags before the tourney.

REVOLUTION is sending me 55 bags (was expecting to have 100 ready to receive printing on the 17th). A few have been promised to volunteers, so I’ll probably have around 50 for the 72 amateur players. I have put together a contact list for the first 45 amateur players that have signed up. If you are one of those first 45, you should receive an email soon, if not, contact me. There are other things I have available for player’s packs and those on the list of the first 45 amateur players will get to choose whether they want one of the bags or one of the other products I have available. Every amateur signing up from here on out will get their choice of player’s pack in the order they signed up.

Man, Steily is looking fantastic right now. Fairways are getting freshly mowed and the sun is finally coming out a little. Lots of info will be coming soon.
