[Jebb]

From what I understand there should also be player's packs!!

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

are yall gonna have mulligans for extra cans

[i2rt]

From what I understand there should also be player's packs!!

It is a charity event. Why not put the money that would be spent on players packs into the charity? Even if the players pack is going to be donated you can ask for less value in cash to add to the charity.

[Marc D]

We are going to have lots of different extras for the tournament that hopefully will raise a good amount for the charity ! Should have all the details worked out this weekend !

[Marc D]

Bump (See additional tournament info above)

[Marc D]

Check out the awesome artwork for the SuperColor Buzz trophy discs !

[Jebb]

Hopefully this will be my return to play, can't wait!!

[Jebb]

by the way, this will also be where we distribute the 2009 DGB bagtags by final scores, so come get yours!

[drdisc]

How did we arrive at the 2nd Annual? I know Ron Pittman ran one a few years back. We filled his truck up with food and deliverd it to a church in 5 Points.

[Tim k]

why not a PDGA event so we can get round ratings?

TK

[Cotton Pickin' Bill]

why not a PDGA event so we can get round ratings?

TK


If you use the CEP, the player fees can be donated to the charity as well. The $50 sanctioning fee is all you pay the PDGA.

[ChrisP.]

No $50 sanctioning fee = More money to charity.

No TD Report, No sanctioning agreement, No uploading scores = less headache.

Selling mulligans = More money to charity + more fun.

No round ratings = relax and have some fun and not worry about your score.

[ChrisP.]

How did we arrive at the 2nd Annual? I know Ron Pittman ran one a few years back. We filled his truck up with food and deliverd it to a church in 5 Points.

Maybe it's the third annual?

[Cotton Pickin' Bill]

In my opinion,

PDGA=more players especially out of towners
More players=more money for the charity

[Marc D]

Let's go with "2nd annual" since we haven't had consecutive annual events (as far as I am aware).

I agree with Chris on the sanctioning, the goal is to relax & play in a fun tournament while raising money for a very worthy charity that helps those less fortunate than ourselves.

[i2rt]

If you use the CEP, the player fees can be donated to the charity as well. The $50 sanctioning fee is all you pay the PDGA.

Unless the CEP rules have changed, this is only true as long as you don't have more players than the $350 will cover. For the 2008 AAO Tom and I had to come out of pocket with roughly $200 in additional fees due to the high number of non and non-current members.

Edit:
I do not mean to imply that the CEP isn't a great program. I am sure it was part of the reason we had such a good turnout. You just have to be aware of the caveats.

[Jebb]

with the player's packs and getting to play for the new 09 DGB bagtag placings, there's plenty of incentive to play in addition to supporting a worthy charity.

There will be PDGA sanctioned tournies just before and just after our Ice Bowl, so no sweat :)

[ChrisP.]

In my opinion,

PDGA=more players especially out of towners
More players=more money for the charity

Don't think were going to get many out-of-towners, here's just a few Ice Bowls going on the same day as ours...

Wall Doxey Ice Bowl - Holly Springs, Mississippi
Knoxville Disc Golf Ice Bowl - Knoxville, Tennessee
Joel Viggers Memorial Ice Bowl - Chattanooga, Tennessee
Second Annual JP Moseley Ice Bowl - Stockbridge, Georgia

[Tim k]

are we going to be playing for 09 bag tags in the ice bowl?

TK

[Jebb]

yes (seems you didnt read the thread?) - I added to the first post though.

[Tim k]

then how can you play with mulligans, that doesn't seem fair, it should be regular rounds to determine bag tags. JMO

TK

[Jebb]

I can't speak definitively for Marc or Chris, but I would imagine thats why there are limit 2 per round and no other type of mulligans such as the 'dirty' mulligan. Remember, you too can take advantage ;)

[Marc D]

Still an even playing field for all, unless you choose to not to take advantage of them.

[Jebb]

Also don't forget that the top 10 cash donators (I assume the mulligan purchase counts towards the total $ donated) will draw for the Innova Traveler.

I plan to also donate a sweet prize for the person who brings the most canned food :)

[Marc D]

Yes, the mulligans, hole sponsorships & any additional cash you want to contribute all count towards the Innova Traveler Basket Giveaway

[ChrisP.]

Discs are in!!

First 60 players to sign up (Pros included!) get a Gateway Disc Sports putter!

We ordered: Wizards - Regular & Soft, Magics - Regular & Soft, & the new Voodoo!

[drdisc]

Rothstein bought discs from Gateway instead of Innova?

[Jebb]

From what I gather, disc mfr choice was given as long as you used their IceBowl 2009 logo...and Gateway makes some really nice putters!

[ChrisP.]

Ice Bowl HQ has discs from Innova, Discraft & Gateway, Millenium & Little Flyers this year.

http://www.icebowlhq.com/docs/ib09orderform-v1.pdf

["Tiger"]

...and Gateway makes some really nice putters!

amony other discs ;)

[fitZwater]

if i buy 4 mulligans...what happens if i dont have to use them all? will the extras be taken off the card as a stroke? if not i guess you have to buy them before each round?

[ChrisP.]

You use 'em or you lose 'em! Don't worry. More about the mulligans & use of them will be detailed at the event....

The important thing right now is we need HOLE SPONSORS so we can get the course into the proper layout.

* Hole Sponsorships available for $25 --- Hole sponsor gets to select the pin position played in the tournament for that hole (see flyer (http://www.discgolfbirmingham.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=170&d=1231187345) or contact TD (http://www.discgolfbirmingham.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=96) for more details)

[Jebb]

are you planning on making every 30 foot putt? ;)

[ChrisP.]

Not Shawn, brother Ryan, right?

["Tiger"]

are you planning on making every 30 foot putt? ;)

I do ;)

[Jebb]

So you'll certainly need some mulligans for the 15 footers :D

[selwonk nitsuj]

Hey Chris i'm goin to sponsor Hole 6. C (left on hill) position. ;)

[Tim k]

Is all of the hole sponsorship money going to the chairity?

TK

[fitZwater]

yea im shwns brother. nah i dont plan on making all my 30 footers but i hope i wouldnt be throwing 30 footers for par 4 times. i might could use the extras for the creek on 13 LOL

[Marc D]

The hole sponsorships are going to be split 1/3 to the Pro payout, 1/3 to the Am payout, and 1/3 to the charity.

Please let us know if you are going to sponsor a hole by Thursday, Feb 5th so we can get the course moved into the correct layout before the tourney.

So hurry & get your hole so you can pick the position you want to play before someone else snags it !!

Here is list of the hole sponsors so far:
Hole 1 -- Long -- georgewardpark.org (Jebb Long)
Hole 2 -- Middle -- Marc Dobson
Hole 3 -- Right -- Bill Thornton
Hole 4 -- Extra Long (6's right position) -- Chris Pierce
Hole 5 -- Long -- Tim Keith
Hole 6 -- Left -- Justin Knowles
Hole 7 -- Long -- Still Available for Sponsor
Hole 8 -- Temp Left -- Chris Pierce
Hole 9 -- Short -- Still Available for Sponsor
Hole 10 -- Right -- georgewardpark.org (Jebb Long)
Hole 11 -- Ace Race -- LeAnne Owen
Hole 12 -- Right -- Still Available for Sponsor
Hole 13 -- Long -- Justin Littrell
Hole 14 -- Short -- Marc Dobson
Hole 15 -- Right -- Tim Keith
Hole 16 -- Long -- Henry Tindall
Hole 17 -- Long -- John Roberts
Hole 18* -- Short -- Still Available for Sponsor


*Certain exclusions apply

[Marc D]

Bump...

You can post on here which hole you want or you can select the hole when you register online.

[Jebb]

georgewardpark.org - holes 1 and 10 please :)

1 in long
10 to far right (which also means 18 can't be long right)

[Marc D]

Thanks Jebb ! Updated hole list above...

5 down, 13 left !

[i2rt]

Sorry, I told ChrisP but should have posted here.
I moved #1 into the long position before doubles and I was going to take it but U can have it if U want. I like the long position so I am good with picking another.
I want #3 in the right position if U want #1.

[Jebb]

Fine by me if we swap signs Bill, positions stay the same :)

[i2rt]

OK, I will take #3 in the right position if you can put me down for that. :D

I am suprised that the pros aren't jumping on 5, 7, 13, 14 & 16.
They always want the longs so here is their chance.

The sooner people select their sponsorship holes the sooner we can get them moved.

Come on people step up and support the Ice Bowl.

[ChrisP.]

The pros decided to go to Florida for a sanctioned event that weekend, so it appears they are not interested in pin positions. Maybe they're still interested in sponsoring?

[Marc D]

Thanks Bill !

For the pros that do decide to play that will mean a sweeter payout since 1/3 of the hole sponsor money goes toward the Pro payout !

[Jebb]

I smell a lower-numbered bagtag coming :)

[i2rt]

If the pros are on the road then I will try to sneak off with some of the cash and a low bag tag.:D
I will move 3 & 10 today. Text me if you get any more sponsorships and I will make the moves.

[Marc D]

Thanks Bill ! Also, move 6 to the left (up on the hill) if you get a chance. Knowles sponsored that one.

[Jebb]

already there.

[Marc D]

Ahh, that shows how long it's been since I played GW ! I can't wait for Daylight Savings Time to start

[ChrisP.]

2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

10 got moved not sure if they played another 9 and remembered three this time.:D Good shooting Bill today smoking knowlie.:cool: And thanks to Jeff for playing frogger:eek:

[Marc D]

Update: We will also be having a Throw-Off to win an Innova Traveler Basket (see first post for more info).

[ChrisP.]

TWO BASKETS TO BE GIVEN!! One raffled to one of the top 10 donation contributors.

One to be thrown off for! Sweet!

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

chris put me in for 17 short right....and just curious....is 11 short to the right still in the ground...might think about that as well....i see lots of righties with no flick go down on this position.

[drdisc]

Yes, that is the Ace Race spot. Go for it!

[Marc D]

Thanks LeAnne ! I'll put you down for 17 - Short.

The Ace Race position on 11 is fair game, so someone better snatch it up before someone else puts it in the "way" back !!

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

actually change me to 11 short ace race. that really is the smart choice and i believe john roberts was saying he really wanted to put it up to the left. I told him I would back off.

[Marc D]

Got ya down for 11 !

7 holes taken, 11 left !

[i2rt]

1, 3, 6, 10 and 11 are moved.
Knowles and I also moved 12 and 17 to their straight long positions just to add some variety. We will move them when someone sponsors another position or if you want something different.

[Marc D]

Thanks Bill !

John Roberts is sponsporing Hole 17 in the Long position.

[ChrisP.]

Since 6 is left, put me down for hole 4 REALLY LONG (6's right spot)

[Marc D]

ooooohhh, very nice sir !!

9 left !!

[Marc D]

Weather is looking good for next Saturday -- Mostly Sunny with a High of 59 !

[Tim k]

Mark,
put me down for 5 long and 15 long right

TK

[Marc D]

Will do ! Thanks TK !

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

hey tk i think they moved 13 to 15 rights postion

[ChrisP.]

First come....first served... Looks like TK gets it.

[i2rt]

I talked to TK and I am going to leave 13 in the 15 right position for the bag tag challange tomorrow.
I will move 15 right after the 2nd round tomorrow.
Hole 5 we can leave like it is and I will bring a garbage bag to cover the mid position basket.

Come on people!!!!
Step up with the sponsorships so that we can get the locations set and practice before the Ice Bowl.

[Marc D]

7 hole sponsorships left.

Here are the holes still left open: 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18

I'm taking hole 2 in the middle position & I will wait to take whatever is left with my 2nd one.

[Marc D]

Justin is taking 13 long. 6 spots left ! The layout is shaping up into one of the toughest tourney layouts we've had in a while, should be interesting to see the scores. Remember, No Wimps - No Whiners !

[i2rt]

Tomorrow I will move 13 and 15.

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

if thirteen is in the long you could just leave thirteens basket in 15 and let casual rounds play 15 on the creek till next week and then put a bag on it for the icebowl

[Wildman Ken]

I am all signed up...save me a disc.

[Marc D]

if thirteen is in the long you could just leave thirteens basket in 15 and let casual rounds play 15 on the creek till next week and then put a bag on it for the icebowl

That's exactly what I was thinking. Great minds think alike :cool:

[ChrisP.]

The only way this works is because there are no numbers on the targets.

[Greoryg]

I'm hopefully coming, and my Fiancee is thinking about playing too. Any completly novice women going to play?

[Marc D]

Greg, I know we have at least one person signed up for Am Women, hopefully more to come. Hope yall can make it down.

[drdisc]

I'm working on a couple other Am ladies. Depends on the weather!

[Justin L]

Weather looks good right now! 66 and Sunny!

http://www.accuweather.com/us/al/birmingham/35201/forecast-details.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=1&metric=0&fday=5

[Marc D]

Yeah, I don't care what that groundhog saw, it's going to look a lot like Spring down here on Saturday !

72 degrees and sunny is hard to pass up for what sounds to be a great event to come!

I'll join you in Open Jebb. ;)

This is gonna be fun. :)

[Jebb]

Everyone should just play open :) Especially if you feel like you already have more plastic than you know what to do with.

[drdisc]

I have always said," it's all about the bag size".

[fitZwater]

Sounds like Open is the place to be! Marc, do you mind going ahead and sliding my name up there? I want a piece of this action!

[drdisc]

Don't worry about putting. Your second shot is what will count on this setup.

[Marc D]

Sounds like Open is the place to be! Marc, do you mind going ahead and sliding my name up there? I want a piece of this action!

THANK YOU to everyone who came out today for the Birmingham Ice Bowl to support the United Way Community Food Bank !!! We raised over $1,000 and several hundred pounds of food for a very worthy cause !!

Also, thanks to all the sponsors & others who donated their time, energy & money to help make this event a success ! (I would list all of them, but it would be too long & you know who you are)

I hope everyone had a great time today enjoying the beautiful weather & fellowship with friends while playing disc golf & helping our community !!

[Marc D]

Scores, pictures & other pertinent details to follow soon.

I'm currently uploading all the photos from yesterday. They will be a while uploading, probably taking about two hours. I hope you find one of yourself...and that you like it.

On another note, while photographing, I was able to view the course and players from more of a non-players attitude. I have to say, particularly during a tournament, it really looks bad to outsiders to see players drinking and smoking, no matter what they're smoking. With as many local entities wishing to take the park space away from Disc Golf for other uses, it would be a shame for them to do so by making us disc golfers out to be a bad influence or problem in the park. I'm personally glad to enjoy a beer myself, guilty as the rest of us. But going forward, I, for one, am going to avoid any public displays of 'illegal' behavior in the park. It's just not smart.

Sorry to rant, even mildly. Enjoy the photos.

Amen TK.

[Marc D]

I will say that, in Ray's defense, these were not his typical rounds. We are good buddies, & I usually spot him at least 3 or 4 strokes per 18 at GW, and then it is pretty competitive ! But agreed, he's a bagger ! ;)

[Tim k]

When you shoot those scores on that layout, in windy conditions, it's time to move up!

TK

[Marc D]

Agreed, he doesn't play in tournaments normally (this is only his second one), but I'll make sure he's playing in higher divisions going forward !

[IndyJonez]

about two hours.

Goin' on 5 hours now. C'mon mayun! :D
















kidding, take your time as I'm sure they are well worth the wait as always. ;)

[drdisc]

To back up what Art stated. We do need to keep it down. I just found out that some city officials from out of town should be here to look at our course tomorow. Don't know when exactly.

[Justin L]

How about that (n)ice bowl!

[Jebb]

haha :) DGB has 42 members so far in 2009 and close to 60 tag holders.

[Marc D]

We finished the final accounting for the Ice Bowl & the total cash donation to the United Way Community Food Bank of Central Alabama is..... drumroll please.........


$ 1,167 !!!! :D

Thanks to everyone who came out & made this event a success !!

Mark your calendars now --

3rd Annual Birmingham "N"Ice Bowl
Saturday, Feb. 6th, 2010

To take the "impressions" topic a little further, we should all be mindful that the park is our park, and we should treat it like we own it. Pick up that piece of trash that someone else may have thrown down. (We now have more trash cans as part of the new "cement creeks" project. Use them!) Behave as though each person who sees you will base their behavior on yours, so set good examples for them to follow. Smoking, drinking and loud profanity, while perhaps enjoyable for the ones who are doing it, may not provide the same enjoyment for others who aren't doing it. Be respectful of the rights of others. Think outside of yourself.

Very well said. If nothing else there are numerous small, influential children's whose parents may not want to have the "daddy, whats that funny smell. that doesn't smell like a cigarette" discussion quite yet :cool:

dear Art,

we really enjoy you comming out and taking pics of us playing. i hope the opinions of others doesnt keep you from hooking us up with those awsome pictures you take because we really need that publicity and your interest is great for tournaments. i appologize if the critisizm didnt make much sense but i hope you will still offer your time to come out and be a part of the Birmingham disc golf community. Thanx for your honesty and having a set to say whats on your mind.

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

i hope art does not find any of this to be critisism but rather discussion. I know he enjoys bringing his dog out to the park as much as the rest of us. and he always takes the most rockin pics.

[Justin L]

Heh, speaking of Art, thanks for the pictures again! I moved the album up to the front now that all the uploading is done.

What is with this picture? It looks like I'm staring at the camera and doing interpretive dance......

[Marc D]

Does someone have the group shot we could add to the gallery ?

Also, when I try to click on some of the individual pics it give me an "internal server error" message in Explorer ? Any ideas why ?

[Justin L]

I think i've got all the trouble ones removed now Marc. I'll check again. I'll pass the group shot on as well.

[Marc D]

Thanks Justin ! This pic is the one that is still giving me an error.

I have the full size pic at home on my laptop. Remind me later Marc, esp if you can drop by the house to pick up the tags etc.

[Justin L]

Jebb, if you get a chance upload it to the gallery on top of the one i just uploaded.

[fitZwater]

hey guys how do i get to the page where these pictures are at?

[tahoeturk]

Justin, You looked to me like you were practicing Tai Chi..But i think it's call follow through. Good one too.

I wasn't criticizing regards to how we appear to outsiders, just noting it for discussion. As for me n Henry, just try to keep us away! We LOVE GW and the DGB community.

I did have 'issues' uploading the photos. I tried to reload half of them that didn't go the first time. Ended up with duplicates and some still not posted. I'm so Hi Tech!

[IndyJonez]

Thanks Art'n'Henry! :D

[IndyJonez]

I think i've got all the trouble ones removed now Marc. I'll check again. I'll pass the group shot on as well.

Well, now I'm getting the same error message that Marc was getting but with me it is every other picture, so I can only view half of them. :confused:

[IndyJonez]

So, any ideas on why we can only view half of the pictures yet?

I figured I'd give it a day or so to see if someone fixed it but I'm still having the same problem. :mad:

[Justin L]

I'm not sure, something didn't work with the upload. I'll see if I can get with Art and get a copy of the pictures.

Okay, thanks Justin. Ill just check back sometime this weekend. :D

Justin, if you can point Art in my direction perhaps I can get a CD of the pics from him and deliver his membership pkg

[Marc D]

Here is the course analysis from the Ice Bowl. Even with the mulligans, this setup played as one of the toughest tourney setups in a long time (the median score for the field was a 61).

Division ----------- Average Score
Open ---------------- 55.5
Intermediate --------- 61.6
Novice --------------- 67.6
Am Women ----------- 83.3

I'll be out and around GW this weekend. I'll burn a disc or two and bring them with me. If I'm not around when you are, I'll leave one with Tom.
