Interesting,

I downloaded the player lists and sorted the 4 advanced pools L, K ,M & N by rating and the top 4 Advanced Amateurs are all in Pool K. Coincidence or do you believe there is some prediction here as to who will win the event.

The pools are well divided and have equal skill levels across all pools so I am not worried about ratings being skewed but thought it interesting that the best are in the same pool. Rumor is that David Wiggins Jr will be our next champion but I am guessing the higher rated locals will not go down without a fight.

4 oregon in same pool? special treatment requested? lol

Yes, you can request to be in a pool with your statemates, or whomever you like. There is a spot for it on the entry form, you fill in the names of others you would like to be pooled with. It's fun, you get to see more of friends both local and distant, and facilitates car-pooling: at least until the Great Shuffle! (Hint: make sure your friends also list you on their entry forms!)

Thanks for the info Gawain, unfortunately I registered well after Jason did but it all worked out.

I did request Jason McGrew as a travel mate as we are sharing a car but just thought it funny we all made the same pool out of 4 possible pools. I am glad we are all in the same pool as I have never met Kevin Watson and Peter is a cool dude and shoots some pretty hot rounds!

I guess that makes it easier for us to track how y'all doing... 1st, from oregon, 2nd from oregon, 3rd from oregon... i wish... it could happen, MAKE IT HAPPEN! no pressure guys, have fun...

I'll be around. I have a ton of family in the KC area so I plan to make those rounds and play a little disc golf at the same time. Looking forward to meeting up with my fellow Oregonians though.

I'm borrowing my cousins 1992 Toyota Camry with no A/C so that should be sweet.

Hey Guys,

I started a Blog under some intense suggestive prose from my family to document my adventure at worlds so if you are interested here is my blog

Flash's Worlds Adventure

I hope to provide multi-daily posts and updates. I will include as many pictures as I can to help those back home understand what disc golf is like in KC.

I fly out tonight at midnight with Jason McGrew and we should be playing sometime around 11 am on Friday. I think we will go play Shawnee Mission and then head up to WyCo disc golf course for their Friday league night, Fact has it that their Ace Pot is up to $1017.00 and they pay it all out for an ace.

Here are the maps of Shawnee and WyCo

Myself and Kevin Prosser will be in KC representing the Adv Masters from Washington. I'm flying out Sunday morning, 12 hours after our Aquafest Open is over.

I am staying at the host hotel (Westin). I will be the guy at the bar in the evening trying to figure out why the 7 beers haven't rehydrated me.

Make sure you find someplace to stay in Ogden before you get there or at least be prepared to spend money on a named place. The worst motel I ever stayed at was there. It is a horrible place to stop and it is the only time I have gone to bed scared for my car and my safety. The shower was also too nasty to even think about stepping in. I really wished I would have stopped in SLC when I was on my way though.
