Today is the last day to reserve a room at the host hotel in Pekin. $65 a night for the Motel 6 on Court St about a mile from Sunset Hills!
Call 888-217-1426 and ask for Illinois Amateur Disc golf block

To the tournament director Johnnie Harrison.
I will be unable to participate in your tournament (which pisses me off) due to Air BnB
snafu. I understand I will be getting the player pack instead of a refund. I am hoping basket is part of
the player pack. Again... I really was looking forward to the event. as I was thinking about signing up
for Ledgestone and this tournament would help me prepare for Ledgestone.

I prefer to compete against 25 competitors and not 3, that is my right- not your convenience- thank you!

The multiples of 4 work best for carts at Sunset was the reason. We usually have a requirement of 4 to have a division. I can switch you was just asking if you might stay. NOt a huge deal at all just a simple request
Billy Ray Osborn April 24, 2018 at 1:15pm
Johnnie can you move me to Advanced please. Thank You
Johnnie Harrison

You have been switched Meg, I simply asked if you could stay because multiples of 4 work best for carts and we require 4 to have a division. I have switched you. Billy's was an easy switch because we already only had 3 and I will probably be asking thsoe left in that Div to move as well.

Hey Johnie Harrison, can I get refunded for the tournament please? I'm not going to be able to attend due to a medical injury I have recently obtained. How will the Refund work? Thanks for the help!
Johnnie Harrison April 23, 2018 at 1:11am
Modified pools will be: Pool A MA1&2, Pool B MA3, Pool C Everyone else
Doug Payne April 22, 2018 at 1:53pm
I thought ALL age protected divisions would be playing the red tees at Sunset? It has now changed?? What is Nate in charge??? lol
Johnnie Harrison
April 23, 2018 at 1:10am
I am now changing you to Pool C with Novice, and Women- Red tees
Ryan Rickard April 21, 2018 at 3:14pm
Are all layouts currently in tournament setup? All Shorts?
Johnnie Harrison
April 23, 2018 at 1:32am
Yes they are allset up, Northwoods is all shorts, McNaughton is Original Shorts (where there is a tee sign/post), Sunset is Blues for MA1&2&3 (Pools A&B) Everyone else plays Red Tees at Sunset
William Nielsen April 20, 2018 at 1:42am
Can I check in Saturday morning? I’d register rite now if that’s possible.
Seth Friedrich
April 20, 2018 at 1:58am
You most certainly can! You'll just have to go to the Plastic Addicts shop to pick up your practice basket and player pack. Check back here and on the FB tournament page for Pool/Division assignments, as some will change after registration closes
Michael Brugger April 10, 2018 at 8:33pm
I can’t make it to check in on Friday. So I just need to be at my course a few min before players meeting and I’m good ??
Johnnie Harrison
April 12, 2018 at 9:16pm
You will want to be there at least a half hour prior to tee off
Michael Kristler April 8, 2018 at 8:40pm
I'd like to move down to novice division. Usually play rec and was going to play up to play with friends but my play has been so poor I should probably start playing my rating. Thanks
Johnnie Harrison
April 10, 2018 at 4:43pm
Looks like you were able to edit the division yourself! See you soon
Christian Doman March 3, 2018 at 4:30am
Will there be a tentative schedule for the rounds soon? With three courses being used, are all divisions playing all three courses? How many total rounds will be played?
Chris Pilarski
April 6, 2018 at 1:30pm
So it will be 2 courses Saturday, then one course Sunday with a potential final 9?
Seth Friedrich
April 6, 2018 at 4:43pm
That is correct. Rounds 1 & 2 will be played on Saturday, Round 3 on Sunday morning, and then a Final 9 at Sunset Hills for the top 4 in each division of 12 or more
Stanley Filczer February 28, 2018 at 8:06pm
I’m trying to work out a budget for this event. I was wondering if there is a fee for the doubles round on Friday.
Johnnie Harrison
March 17, 2018 at 6:12pm
Yes sir there is. Brian is running that part but I would imagine somewhere in the $20 range per person
Ken Long February 26, 2018 at 12:16pm
Will all divisions be playing on the same course (Sunset Hills)? I noticed two other courses in the mix. McNaughton and North Woods.
Seth Friedrich
February 26, 2018 at 3:07pm
Currently the plan is for each division to play each course once, with a Final 9 at Sunset Hills for the top 4 in each division of 12 or more players. If the event fills (or comes close) we will add a fourth course (Bradley) for MA4, MA3, and Women's Division. In that scenario one of the other courses would be left off. This will de-populate the courses somewhat and allow for fewer back-ups.
Stanley Filczer February 19, 2018 at 9:27pm
Is check in going to be on Friday the 27th or Saturday morning?
Seth Friedrich
February 20, 2018 at 7:45pm
correct, if you can't make it to check-in you can still play.
Ken Long February 14, 2018 at 2:58am
hi Johnnie. Stupid question. I saw your response to B. Bennetts comment about player packs. Are the Chainstar Lite baskets full size baskets? I have never been in a tournament where all players received a full sized basket as part of the player pack. Thanks.
Johnnie Harrison
February 14, 2018 at 2:24pm
This is correct Ken. You will recieve a full size basket and this is the first time this has been done to my knowledge! It is a quality practice basket with a retail value of around $150
Johnnie Harrison February 13, 2018 at 9:48pm
Brad, all players will receive a Chainstar Lite Basket, putter (tbd), a shirt from Paragon, green Fees at Sunset for the tournament along with cart fees.
They should all be good- of course you wont want a cart for sunset because you will be using a golf cart
