Michigan Women's Championship Femillz Open

[cyferban]

To all the ladies out there A3Disc is proud to present the 2nd Annual Michigan Women's Championship (Femillz Open). The event information, Pre-Reg or mail-in forms are on our website www.a3Disc.org. (http://www.a3Disc.org.) please consider attending this event as there will be lots and lots of prizes given away.
Last year 22 ladies got over $6200.00 in merchandise and prizes. More planned for this year! Player Packs to the first 40 AM's who sign up. $50 retail value on the players pack, plus CTP's for every division, Jumbo, 50/50 Raffle and prizes raffled.

9 ladies signed up so far only 31 more to go, I am hoping for 40 ladies total, come on help me out. Sassy Pants has added as a sponsor $500+ in merch to give away from them even more than last year.

[cyferban]

Julie Jett the discs have been printed get in touch with me about collecting them please. If somebody can get in touch with her let her know.

thanks

I don't know if Sheila has signed up yet, but she is definitely going to be there.

[SarahD]

This is a great event and I hope that all the Michigan women show up in hoardes. Alas, since the date was moved back by a few weeks, it now interferes with Marshall Street, which I and perhaps Jen Ketz will be attending.

Good luck to all players and thanks to the coordinators!

I guess you just can't schedule around every unsanctioned tournament within 900 miles! :D

I'm hoping Diana, Kelsey, Kira and maybe Emily or Jenny will be playing. Kelsey might play pro.

[cyferban]

Hope to see the brakel family, friends and everybody you can bring there. I hope to get to the 40 ladies this year that is my goal anyways.

The Flint Town Flyerz are sponsoring its amateur club champion for the event... :)

[cyferban]

That's great Mark, how many ladies do you have in your league? I actually have people who play in the A3 league from Flint. I don't know if they play in your league though.

Please stress to any ladies you get that the prizes will be plentiful so if any other ladies want to sign up they will not go home without lots and lots of goodies no matter how they play. I stress trying to make it fun, and my goals include retention of female players in the sport.

[Mark_Stephens]

There are 3 women that play at league sponsored events. None of them play down in A3 events though...

We understand that and that is why our club is paying for one of our members to go. :)

[cyferban]

I look forward to another lady joining the event and want to thank you for your support of this event and the ladies.
Maybe this will be a way for you to get more ladies playing in your league. off the top of my head i can only think of 6 women who play in A3's league but i'm sure i am forgetting some. I would like to see more playing in any league, tournament or in general. I don't just mean in our league any league or event of any kind, I hope this idea or type of event will help promote that.

Thanks so much for your support Mark
Bill

We will also donate a disc for a CTP or raffle as you see fit as well. I will send it with the player.

[cyferban]

Thanks Mark
That is great I will find a way to move it out via CTP, Jumbo or Raffle. But it will go out with 1 of the ladies.
Has she signed up or is she waiting for the day of?
If waiting tell her to watch A3's website, with luck i might hit 40 ladies before pre-reg closes next week. It would not be good if some of the ladies miss out on the players pack, those planning on signing up the day of that is.

Thanks again Mark
Bill

[Mark_Stephens]

Whatever helps you best do with the disc.

Funny that you ask if she is signed up...

I thought that it was up to me to pay since the club was paying for her (which I did). I found out today, that she or one of her friends paid for her as well. Her name is Canessa Andrews.

Transaction ID: 7UF51357MW7603125
It was paid in my name & A3 account but, i noted that it was for her in the comments.

If you could, could you refund the payment that she made via Paypal or just do it in person when they show up at the tournament (if that would be easier)? Sorry for the problems, it was a miscommunication on our end as to whom was paying.

[cyferban]

i saw the 2 entry's for cannessa or canessa and asked our web guy (Bill Brady) to look into it. he will refund 1 of them at least i assume. If he hasn't already i will remind him again to please do so, Mark.
Plus i will forward your information to him to help him.

Again thanks for your help

[Mark_Stephens]

Alright. That sounds good. Thanks & I hope that you get a good turnout! :)

[cyferban]

Bill Brady says the credit has been issued Mark

[Mark_Stephens]

Yep. Thanks. ;)

18 girls pre-reg'd so far. lets get to 22 ladies.

[cyferban]

18 players pre-reg'd so far. Sharon Jenkins emailed me and said she is planning on being there, plus 4 ladies from the brakel clan. that should make 23 ladies so far. Sharon and the brakels didn't pre-reg but have said they plan on attending.
See you all there.

[cyferban]

I think i am going with 18 short on the monster for everybody, with mixed divisions in the morning. The afternoon will be 24 short for everybody except the AM3's who will be playing 18 shorts again. If the PRO's want to play 24 long on the original i will let them, that will be decided day of. Unless they want to post here or email with their thoughts.

Bruce you can tell Diana she can play wherever she would like but it sounds like i will have at least 3 PRO's - Elaine King (Pre-Reg'd) Sharon Jenkins, Lisa Warner.

thanks everyone
Bill

[cyferban]

22 ladies pre-reg'd as of this morning! i should easily exceed the number of laides i had last year. 2 more PRO's coming and the brakel clan, and 1 more lady from A3's league sits me at 29, plus all the other ladies who will show up and sign up that morning.
I will be putting more than 40 players packs together but the first 40 will be much better then 41 - X. I may actually have to use these extra players packs this year.
Discs for the players packs arrived yesterday and the sassy pants gear arrived last week.
I am working on a few more items if i can get them to donate before friday they will be added to the awards in some form or fashion.

[cyferban]

we are at 27 players signed up, and will be leaving pre-reg open till tomorrow at 8PM just in case we get any last minute joiners otherwise we will see you saturday.

[cyferban]

28 Pre-reg officially and should I hope easily make or surpass the 40 ladies i set as my goal for the event.
These are the my plans for courses and tees.
AM3's will play 18 short on both courses
Everybody else will play 18 short on the Monster and 24 Short on the Original. Unless the PRO's are really into the longs on the Original 2 agaisnt playing the longs so far.
I have $8900.00 in stuff to give away and potentially more showing up tomorrow.
The players pack donations will not be deducted from Payouts in any way. 100% payout minimum to all AM divisions. 100% to PRO's with $50 added to the purse and i can add more to the PRO purse if i get to 6 PRO's.
We will be playing the Monster first in the morning then the original in the afternoon.
I forgot I have 3 MDGO berths to give away which 1 will go to the AM1 winner unless she is already in. I may give 1 to the AM3 winner as they are the biggest division and i will float the other one somewhere this is still all tentative on the MDGO.

Thank you to all the ladies who pre-reg'd and all those still coming out tomorrow. I believe you will have a great time, weather looks great. lots of fun to be had.

Remember some of that merch will go to volunteers who help out. Staff / Scorekeepers / Caddies.

All volunteers must check in and be assigned a job(s) to be eligable for disc(s?). I want a scorekeeper with every group of ladies first then caddies. I also need to keep some tent staff also.

Thanks again
William Gilbert
