[bgwvdave]

craig,

quick question will there be any fees added to paypal if we register that way?

[craigramsdell]

Wave,
There are added fees to PayPal. That's the American way. It should be $2 or $3.

Mike if your out there, What is PayPal charging?

You can save the fee with a $.39 stamp. Lots of time left... tick...tick...tick...

Craig

[craigramsdell]

Rhonda should be mailing her check in soon as well.....I will post all the information on our local MD board. See ya soon :D



Good to hear about Rhonda.

Thanks Beth, I though one on my TD email list covered MD. If you know some good contacts that will print and post RADL flyers, please send them to me at amcrosstown@aol.com
Thanks, Craig

[mikenorris]

craig,

quick question will there be any fees added to paypal if we register that way?



There will be paypal fees. I have been very busy at work lately working form 9 am til 11 pm. Things are starting to calm down now and I will be working to get paypal up along with other dogwood info on the RADL site.

I will also post to let people know that the information is available.

[cwphish]

Kudos Mike for your efforts!

[bgwvdave]

no fees added to the Buckhorne and that is great way to avoid the american way RADL. will there be a pre reg list for this event? i love RADL events can't wait for my first dogwood

[bgwvdave]

oh yeah mike you are the man. i can't express how much all the backstage work you do on the internet posting tip is appreciated by people like me. it makes planning and playing all these out of town events so nice when you can keep posted on the events as they are approaching. great work Mike a lot of people could take alot of notes on how you do things right

[mikenorris]

Thanks for the compliments. It is not that difficult to do and it lets the TD take care of other stuff for the event. If we get a few volunteers to just take care of a few things here and there everything goes much smoother.

Thanks to all those that have offered to help me out with other radl items as well. Especially Kevin Heathcock and Jason Clark at this time.

If anybody has any suggestions for improvements to any RADL event please let me know. But do not come to me and tell me something sucks. I can not fix suck but if I know why something did not work well for people we can look into better ways to improve things.

[TravisGrindle12]

one suggestion, play progression on hole#8 at ceder hillls.

??????

[stick]

one suggestion, play progression on hole#8 at ceder hillls.


??????



I'll translate for you J..., if you miss the safe landing on #8, you move to the white tee (from the blue), miss from there, move to the red tee (or orange as I think it is).

It avoids the dreaded 7-circle 15 from emptying your bag from the blue tee.

If I remember correctly that's the way it was done last year at the Crosstown.

[craigramsdell]

one suggestion, play progression on hole#8 at ceder hillls.



Travis,
We did that for the women and the intermediates. Advanced golfers should be able to throw a 180 foot turn over, anhyzer or forehand.
Last year I spoke to only one adv master who was unsure about the shot. After the round he said that he had no trouble with it.

[TravisGrindle12]

Craig, I with the utmost respect for you and RADL must disagree.
What added Value does this rule add to Ceder Hills? To
me there is no value added. Ceder Hills has more than enough challenging holes.

I did watch someone who is a good golfer but had some phyisical issues that do make this shot very difficult. This person was forced to throw at least 4 shots before getting over "in Bounds" At some point the rule becomes insulting not challengeing. At least two groups were being held up and this person knew it, but he was still haveing to throw. Very embarassing.

This rule disturbs the pace of play. And Lets Face it someone who is having trouble with this hole is going to have plenty of more trouble trying to contend for the lead. So why make someone take a triple circle 10. When One penalty stroke should suffice.

Play the tee, take your penalty move to the original tee and keep the tourney movin.

I believe Hole 8 was played this way for the FDC's not Dogwood. How will this hole Be played?

[craigramsdell]

Travis,
I'll take your concerns up with Richard the co-TD and the course designer.
We'll be it touch.
Craig

[MTL21676]

Having the intermediates and women play a different rule on the same hole does 2 things.

1. Could create confussion
2. Makes the two divisions play "Different courses" meaning their rounds probably wouldn't get rated and stuff like that.

My personal opinion is that a progressive not only makes sense, speeds things up.

The bottom line is, IMO, the ob on this hole only adds to the pure stupidity of the hole.

[obxgolfgirl]

I agree with MTL (for once) that everyone should play the same course. That being said, a player choosing to enter a tournament held at any given course should be prepared to play it as designed, so I disagree with the progressive rule. Some courses are easier than others. A golfer lacking a mid-range turnover shot in his "arsenal" might not be ready for tournament level play at this particular course. Sure, not all golfers can park the hole, but come on; the ob line is only like what, 160 or 180 feet? You should be able to throw that far before you enter competitive play. We've all had an early release or two on # 8 and had to re-tee/take the stroke...that's the price you play for messing up your shot. Just my two cents and wishing to offend no one ....

Terry

I like the idea of the progressive drop zone, because weather conditions can make a shot much tougher than expected. A player who can throw 230' on calm day may have a tough time throwing that 160' anhyzer in the rain, or with a 20 mph crosswind.

Think of how brutal blue #10 at Buckhorn can be in the wind. It's only 285' to the basket (260' straight ahead to the water's edge), but with no drop zone progression, there have been some really big scores there. At least on that hole, the player has the option of making a shorter hyzer shot into the woods, and blasting through trees to make a 4 or 5. Even that kind of poor option is not available at Cedar #8.

[johnbiscoe]

what is the reason for that particular OB in the first place?

Terry



Terry I agree with the fact that when you enter a tournament you should play it they way the TD says. I would never complain about something like this at or during a PDGA event. But suggestions were asked for and so I thought this was the time to bring it up.
I am more against this “rule” for speed of play purpose’s.

[bgwvdave]

Craig / Mike,

do you guys know when pay pal for the crosstown will be enabled. i just tried to register on RADL but when you click on pay pal on the crosstown tourny page nothing happens. holla

Due to the demand for this event I am trying to make sure that it is very clear how paypal transactions will work. Last year there were some issues with people that mailed entries and those that paypalled. A hopefully clear policy will be posted when paypal goes live.

I am planning to work on this information tonight though and hopefully will have everything completed relatively quickly.

[kadiddlhopper]

Good question JB!

[johnbiscoe]

unless it is there to protect something/keep folks out of that particular area it seems to be such a short reach to clear it that it will only affect the play/mindset of players in the lowest divisions. imo these players don't really need to be "worked"- they will struggle enough at cedar as it is. merely my opinion though.

[kadiddlhopper]

Very well said

[jebbeer]

What if Hippy Dave or say my girlfriend wanted to play. Neither could make that shot, even with two bags. You have to play progression, this event ain't the USDGC. And I wondered what the layout will be or if it has even been thought about. Original, Gold? Short tees for the intermediates? Predictions? Really looking foward to this tourney!

[marshief]

I must make a plea for everyone playing the same course, at least. It is a bit of an insult to go play an A-tier and not have your rounds rated because of playing a different "course."

I personally agree with a progression on 8, mostly for speed of play reasons. Yeah, most people at a competitive level should be able to make the shot, but be wary of turning some people off who are new to competition and may lack confidence in that shot.

totally agree with every you just said - but sadly this is a B Tier, not an A.

Hopefully one day!

Yeah...will you tell all the newbies and less-skilled players that during the players meeting. I'm sure it would be extremely helpful.

I guess this guy is new ? Word of advice - When i first got here I had a hard time following these words of wisdom. After awhile it all makes sense . He is The Messiah...

[scottfaison]

Yeah and he will do it with a 360 turbo putt if ya ask him..he is the reindeer king also....

[marshief]

never question the Messiah... he does have his own team of ladies on loan, and anyone with that is all sorts of powerful and knowledgeable!

[kadiddlhopper]

Save the "Holier than thou" act for barn animals...they might buy it.

[mugilcephalus]

You have no idea what you're getting into.

[kadiddlhopper]

I was hoping on getting back to the thread topic instead of ego drifting

[messiah]

Kozak i think you just earned your 1st scale

[messiah]

girl if you wern't in colorado.....oh well

[messiah]

scoTTy my reindeer brother......who knows what shot is next, mabey a left-footed flick.....WOW

[rickb]

"king of the 360 turbo putt"
LMFAO 360 turbo putts are for those who have not yet mastered the turbo roller.
And to clarify he did NOT win the reindeer games. Some chick'n wing'n fool from Chi-town claimed that prize.

Now when is Paypal going to be ready??

[messiah]

i will be glad to tell them.....mabey they will get the humor, let it lighten the moment, and all be able to make the shot.....who knows.....oh i do

[messiah]

you heritic

[messiah]

WOW this thread has become nothing but an EGO drift
fluvus christ, can we just get back on topic

[rickb]

CB you even playin the Am Xtown or are you reverse baggin and stayin with the pros?

[messiah]

i am nc's newest adv playa'
and on thread topic the spinna'prise goTTs new shoes

[bschweberger]

Look out for TThe Messiah advanced Playa, his caddy at the Horn will out to beat ya down with a simple stare.

[marshief]

i am nc's newest adv playa'
and on thread topic the spinna'prise goTTs new shoes


oh, and I was put on probation for commenting on that. Jeepers, I even put in a vote for you being our am world champ.

Fluvus Christ, can I ever get off of probation?

[messiah]

oh my bad baby girl......i thought you knew you probation only lasted a day

[scottfaison]

It's going to be a fun event just for the fact I get to see me some fluv...

[messiah]

is haz-mat comin'????

[scottfaison]

HazMat will be represented by his most faithful follower Scotty...should be interesting to see what happens considering I haven't played in an event since September 2004 and that was a week after my honeymoon...before that it was the famous Reindeer games...I am going to play an event in Florida next weekend so hopefully it will go good...I should call this year the WD-40 tour since I am trying to loosen up my game and get the rust off lol

[mikenorris]

PayPal is now available for the Crosstown!!

www.radl.biz (http://www.radl.biz)

I have tried to set up the policy for paypal such that mailed entries will have an equal chance to get in.

Your entry must be received by 5:00 PM EST to be considered received on that day. All mail entries and paypal entries will be processed at the same time daily. Should the event fill all paypal entries and mailed entries will be put into a "hat" and randomly chosen to determine who gets in.

The pre-registration list will be updated daily and can be found at the following link

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5667

[hitec100]

This talk about "playing progression on #8" at Cedar Hills... I don't understand. Hole #7 has a pond that must be cleared. Is this the hole people are actually referring to?

[marshief]

8 is island OB. If you don't make it over the phone poles, you retee until you make it over the phone poles. On 7, you can easily pitch up to the pond and make the throw over. Or take the long way around. Either way, you can bail out on 7, but not on 8.

[messiah]

i'm in........i hope we play progression on 8....regression on 7....pregression on 1......postgression on 14....and puregression on 18

[scottfaison]

Just don't commit any transgressions and insult TThe_Messiah or HazMat...and make it easy on the TD's and take advantage of early registration..

[rickb]

Is this anything like the pro Xtown where I can pay an extra $5?? and choose my group.

Massiah, Faison and Waters if he comes down. Reindeer gamesII ceptin we starting off the tourney this way.

[MiTTenZZ]

I'd like to re-register with the PDGA as a lefty and start all over again, thus coming into the sport advanced/am, and play in the event.
:) My highest rated lefty round is only 817, so there's no really worries, just added cash.

[mugilcephalus]

Rick you want my rating to drop to 780? I'll probably miss the am X-town as I am about to spend a couple weeks in the Southern hemishere. Finally I can laugh at you guys for being cold. I will be back for the BVC and/or the FriZZack Open. Reindeer games at Renny could get ugly.

[scottfaison]

LOL Rick..one round of RG and I would be able to play Intermediate again...I think though we should still have some RG event in a central location as a fun 2 round event..maybe a RG/RIPT combination..one round of each perhaps...ok back to thread topic..looking forward to X-town since I have never placed in the top 10 in a RADL X-town :mad:

[eddie_ogburn]

I think you got a shot this year Scotty. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[mikenorris]

Everybody that is paying via PayPal it is very important to read the paypal page before sending your payment. Please make sure that you include the additional information. We have already had to deny some payments due to people not including all requested info.

We appreciate the intrest in this event but it is imparitive that all information be included with your transaction.

[crotts]

I think i got all the info.but i'm at work so i'm not thinking to hard.

: ) :

[cwphish]

Is there a host hotel for this? Any info?

[marshief]

The host hotel is Casa Yoo :D

[craigramsdell]

There is no host hotel. Maybe when we get nearer to the 25th Crosstown we'll have a party too.

We have recomended the Comfort Inn Six Forks in the past. Choice Hotels (http://www.choicehotels.com)

It is near Cedar Hills.

Craig

[Captain]

Craig,

If you need a place to stay for the Am Crosstown let me know.

Kirk

[cwphish]

I would like a place to stay. Thanks Captain.

[rickb]

Putting in my request for one of the sofas in the play room. The sleeping space was more than appreciated last year but the inflatible floor bed left me a little sore in the morning.
And I need all the help I can going against these younguns.

[mikenorris]

I have now had to deny several more paypal payments because the additional information was not included. I am not trying to be rude to anybody but the TD has requested this info and instructed me to deny any payments without this information. I am merely enforcing this policy.

Please include the additional information with your paypal payments.

[otimechamp]

put um in pink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cwphish]

I will gladly accept the floorspace, or shotgun any other couch or such. Is there going to be any cards dealt at the casa? Captain, do you and the misses have a beverage of choice?

[BenDubs]

Oh yes does he have a beverrage of choice & lucky for you ALL the chics will drink it too- the infamous & highly underated... Appletini So cute & special

[Captain]

Appletinis are so yesterday. As in I had too many yesterday and I won't be drinking any of those anymore.

The vodka went down way too easy and way too smooth.

[Captain]

Craig,

I should have plenty of bed space.

6 queen size beds
2 double beds
1 futon
8 queen size air mattresses
6 twin size air mattresses

Right now there are only 4 players staying at my house for the Am Crosstown.

Kirk

[cwphish]

Shot gun a queen bed. No shot gun appletini.

[mikenorris]

ok We are now at 62 entrants with several more paypal entries that I received after 5:00 today.

These will be processed tomorrow.

If Buckhorn is any indication on how quickly the last 30 spots will fill up then you might want to get your entry in ASAP if you plan to play this event.

If you are paying via paypal make sure that you read the directions on the page before clicking Buy now. We have had to deny several payments initially due to information that was not included.

[cwphish]

Nice avatar Mike.

[jebbeer]

This tourney looks like a mini Bowling Green. A lot of good quality players this year. The average rating is pretty high.

[jfsheffield]

The fish are going to try to swim upstream from you Jeb.

[jebbeer]

I like to eat fish, with vegatables of course.

[mikenorris]

The average rating of all advanced golfers is 929 at this time. We have two players without a rating that were not included.

[messiah]

asparagus goes niceley wit' salmon and tuna.
but i wouldn't recomend the black bass.

[jfsheffield]

....nor the Frogmouth Catfish

[brhoderick]

Tell me that Craiger and I still have a bed?????? :D

[Captain]

Beth,

Rest assured your bed is still reserved.

Kirk

[brhoderick]

Shew that's a relief.......Can't wait to see you BOTH :D:D

[Captain]

Me too!!!

Is Craiger bringing any of his special brew?

Kirk

[mikenorris]

We now have less than 10 spots remaining for this event get your money in ASAP if you are planning to play!!!

[brhoderick]

Captain...funny you should ask. I asked him this morning if he had any ready to bring and the answer is Y E S!!!!!!

[cwphish]

Beth,
I am not sure if I know you, but apperently you must have heard through the grapevine of my talents. Please provide a picture, and then we can discuss accommodations. Thanks.

Craiger

[Captain]

Now I am looking forward to the Am Crosstown.

HOME BREW BABY!!!

[brhoderick]

LOL...well thanks I am too flattered but alas I have my OWN Craiger........just ask Captain :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[cwphish]

Please remind your Craiger not to whoop my bum for above comment. :D

[brhoderick]

No worries.......he'd probably just laugh :D:D

[MiTTenZZ]

It appears I'll have to show up for this event and dip into the festivities at say, 9am or so...weeeeeeeeeooooooooo.
:D
Plus it'll give me a good chance to hang out with my buddies Beth, Craiger, and the Cap'n a couple days before I move. Guess that means I should get all my packing done BEFORE this event as I'll be leaving on the 14th.

[mikenorris]

There are 7 spots remaining currently. If you are paying via paypal make sure you read the entire paypal page before submitting payment.

If you do not follow the directions you may not get in!!!!!!

Only those payments with the information required by the TD will be accepted.

[brhoderick]

Woohoo look forward to seeing you as well Mullett :cool:

No team battles for me since half of my team (Southard) isn't coming...I do want to offer a President's Cup Challenge to Norris and Benson though :eek:

[mikenorris]

Bring it Scotty..

I lost the first president's challenge to Benson but did beat the UNC club president.

As usual a very strong field for the AM Crosstown. I told Chris & Miles that if either of them manages to win, I will caddy for them at the Pro Crosstown..... So watch out for the young Dunn's :)

There will be a school of fish towards the top.

[craigramsdell]

FYI to end the speculation, we will play Cedar Hills in the Championship positions (not Gold placements or Gold tees)and we will use the progressive drop zones on hole 8 for all divisions.

I have asked the course Pro, Neil to move the baskets for those who wish to practice the course. If they have not been moved by Monday, I'll do it then.

Those of you who know or play Cedar often, go play Zebulon. You might need it. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Craig

[BenDubs]

Hey Craig, are we playing any of the short tee pads or will it be 2 from the longs? Pumped up!!

Course was moved to Championship Friday evening!

Enjoy!

[Captain]

I received multiple phone calls and personal inquiries this weekend regarding the status of the Am Crosstown.

The same question was asked everytime "Is the Am Crosstown full yet?"

[craigramsdell]

Hey Craig, are we playing any of the short tee pads or will it be 2 from the longs? Pumped up!!



Skinny,
Cedar will play all divisions from the long (regular) pads. Hole 10s longest (gold) pad will not be used.
Do you play the short pads at any time other than the Cold Snap round durring the Ice Bowl? :cool:

[craigramsdell]

Course was moved to Championship Friday evening!

Enjoy!



Thanks, Neil.

Capt., I have an inquiry in with the registrar Mike as to the status of the field. I feel confident that we are full, but I am waiting for him.

[grateful24655]

Thanks for the recognition there EproG. I definitely plan on another top 5 finish the year. A win would be sweet but with Jeb baggin' it'll be tough. I did beat him by 6 strokes this weekend though, that was awesome!

just hang with Jeb at Zeb and you can take him out at Cedar
Good luck to all the players, this tourney almost makes me wish i was still an am.

[scottfaison]

Bring it Scotty..

I lost the first president's challenge to Benson but did beat the UNC club president.



I think we will have the Durham(Benson), Raleigh(Norris), Greensboro(Byrd), Greenville(Captain Idiot) and Kinston(Noble) presidents all at the same tourney...I am not sure of any other club presidents that will also be in attendance (sorry if I forgot any)...maybe we should have some wager (nothing big) or a small prize (disc signed by all the prez's competeting) up for grab...I am game and sounds like Norris is upto the challenge...

[jebbeer]

I sure would like to see a team challenge this year. Any one want to bet against Tony and I? Let's start at five a head, maybe we can go hi/lo. Or maybe not.

And some names missing from top tens:
Wathern(Rich)
Sheffield
Kyle Jackson
Carter Allen

Just thought I'd drop some names.

[cwphish]

I am in on the team challenge Jeb. Gotta check with Dome, but I am pretty sure we will be team Charlotte, or PowerDome!

Virginia Team Invitational (VTI)

RADL will be using the Am Crosstown to qualify our 2 Advanced positions for the VTI.

Here are the requirements:
Highest 2 finishing players in the Advanced division.
Must be a 2006 RADL Member.
Must be able to afford the VTI entry fee.
Must be able to compete in Northern VA March 18th & 19th.

If you should have any questions please send me an email at:

captain@mindspring.com
or
kyoo@coastalfcu.org




You must be a 2006 RADL Member before the first disc is thrown. I will have the radl membership forms on hand before the player meeting.



Why is that the case? It appeared that Ben Budd became a RADL member after qualifying for the team at Buckhorn. If that was the policy then MTL would of been the next place qualifier for this event.

[Captain]

Chad,

Jeff is not 100% accurate.

Since I am the RADL Team Captain, it is my team and my rules. I will allow the player the chance to join RADL if they so choose. Rest assured that they will have to join RADL to be on MY team.

If anyone has any problems with my rules please feel free to keep them to yourself.

In Kirks defense, the standards were very clear before the event started. It was quite an honor to play at a level where I was even considered for the team.

[supperbagger]

Captain can i join your team, i got suspended from mine. :D

[scottfaison]

NO PRINCESS...you remember..we have not given you your release just a suspension...so suck it up and pay the fine! :)

[scottfaison]

[mikenorris]

I might have a yellow disc from 2001 I can put up??? Not real sure what it is..

[scottfaison]

The pre-registration list has been updated again.

The last day for a refund is March 4, 2006 for this event. If you drop after march 4, 2006 we will not be able to process your refund.

[scottfaison]

No Clizzark..hmmmm wonder where he is going to be instead?

[mikenorris]

possibly volunteer. He called me and reluctantly withdrew due to some other things going on that weekend.

[TravisGrindle12]

now what we need is a huge tv at Zebulon and Ceder hills so we can watch the ACC tournament at lunch.

[otimechamp]

the truck blew up, i own a house, i spent 300.00 on discgolf last month. I want to play some other tournaments, I need to save for a can of game! all this combined= no cross town for the Clizark. :cool:Azzaleea, Azella Acedilla festivial is next never played that one. besides i have no chance with you and jeb playing! GVDG 06 is no joke!

[scottfaison]

Wow..I hope everything works out for you...I know how sometimes things can be hectic all at once...hopefully you will still come out so I can say hey to you...GVDG and golfers from that area are looking strong this year with Jeb, Tony, Sean and many others playing...it is not me you have to worry about this weekend lol

[Joseph]

So what is up with the President's challenge? I am the only Kinstonian playing but am proudly represnting my two clubs Kinston and Greenville in my last intermediate event.

[jebbeer]

Can I get in to the Cup de Presidente as the top dog at ECU? Feel free to deny/hate.

[scottfaison]

Joe aren't you the president of KDK?
Jeb do you actually have any members and is the club active?

[Joseph]

Yes........

[scottfaison]

Well Joe sounds like you qualify to partake in the President challenge...be warned though, its all about fun and not to serious but fun bragging rights among some folks who have worked hard to help their respective clubs...so far it is Benson(Durham), Norris(RADL), Byrd(UNCG), myself(GVDG) and now you (KDK)...probably the only prize we will walk away with is a smile and cheesy bragging rights, but then thats really what it is all about..having fun with friends... :cool:

[jebbeer]

Jeb do you actually have any members and is the club active?


Thats a big no. Thats why the deny/hate clause was in there. Thought I'd try :D

[scottfaison]

LOL gotcha...maybe you can get some students interest up in the club this semester and carry it through till fall and see if the club can be active again...if you do good luck with it :cool:

As far as the President Cup, no can do, but then again your are going after a much bigger prize and that is the win at the Xtown...good luck on that and shoot well this weekend!

[P_Byrd]

I was wondering if anyone had room for two golfers to crash for the weekend. Jay hasn't gotten back in touch with me yet, so as of now I'm bringin the refrigerator box and an old blanket. I'd prefer to sleep indoors, so if you've got room, PM me. Oh, my buddy Mike is allergic to dogs, so we can't stay anywhere with dogs. Any help would be much appreciated. See ya'll this weekend.

[P_Byrd]

And I am most def in on the President's Challenge. UNCG DGC represent!

[scottfaison]

The president challenge was sweet...I will cherish winning that as much as I have any other win I have ever had because of the people involved...hopefully next year the GVDG president that follows me can follow the tradition

[scottfaison]

[Joseph]

Thanks to RADL and evryone on staff that made this event so awesome. This event exceeded any of hype that I had heard from other golfers. Two tough courses and stiff competition made for an awesome battle and two great days of golf. We will be hosting our first C-tier in Kinston May 20-21 so I may be calling on some of you guys to give me some direction or advice. Thanks again for all you do for disc golf and for a super tournament.

[craigramsdell]
