Hi Everyone just a few updates for this terrific upcoming event:
2008 Sun Valley Open - Tournament Central (http://rddiscsports.com/sunvalleyopen/)
1. All player meeting times and rounds are West Coast time PST (actually PDST). either tee at 8am or 11am. The latest flier is at Tournament Central. It might feel early, but it gets you off the course early to go enjoy sunny La Mesa or San Diego.
2. Our apologies that the PDGA did not get the online sign-up working. Please let them know how much you would like them to get this service working reliably.
3. We will have some fun lunch time activities and good raffle opportunities some bring a few bucks to win BIG!
4. Anyone can take home Cash Money in our Final 5 Skins game.
Check our Tournament Central site for details. Pot at $200 and growing.

We are looking forward to another great year that you don't want your buddies telling you "...man you missed out!" If you can't make it to the event, make it to the skins raffle.

...so Mr Co-TD and I finally had the chance to start sorting out the event payout, prizes, raffle etc; and all I can say is...
It's On Again!
The 2008 Sun Valley Open is on track for another MONSTER payback as part of our thanks to our supporters.
Amateurs well above 300% payback so far (more coming)
Open Players around 180%
Raffle nearly $1000 in cool goodies
Around $500 in CTPs
A skins game with cash money...building
And a $100 First-Ace Bounty
and more again...
that's just what we have in hand...And we're talking legit goodies that you can use at your next event wherever you may be.
Sorry, but I can't believe we get to rock SoCal again!
I will add try to add pictures of some items soon. Who says it's a down economy!
p.s. now accepting apps for SVO 09...lol! I'm just genuinely excited and wanted to post the "last call" before it's gone.

Huge thanks to Discraft, thanks to Innova, DGA, Vitamin Water, SV, All our Hole sponsors and event partners, Our supportive locals (Hockadizzle, Ropadizzle, Rutherdizzle, Rendizzle, Martinizzle, the list goes on), and the rest of you disc lovers making your way to San Diego-La Mesa next weekend. Thanks to the folks coming from out-of-state, or NorCal. Thanks to everyone who said..."I think I'll play this event." If I missed anyone...Thank you too.
I was already amazed at the second opportunity to do this event...now I'm fired up even more to do it GREAT again. I don't know of a good reason why anyone would miss SVO 08.
See you next weekend! (Sep 6-7)

I am yet to get approval from sun valley staff, but I intend to run doubles at Sun Valley on Sunday at 10 (Playing SVO layout with as many temp baskets as we can get) and then hopefully on Friday at 5 the day before the event. Also, I will plan on being out there with my Traveller basket quite frequently before the tournament, I hope to know all the layout changes as well.

Sorry Carl. I don't think Sunday morning will work since this will be a holiday weekend. At best late on Sunday (4'ish) might work, but it may not because they would need to close for a few hours to let us do our thing.
We can most likely run a doubles round on Friday before the event.

Online and Mail-in will be closing this weekend.
The event is going to be awesome (see figures above)! Better tell those fence-sitters to get signed-up.
This is definitely a for-the-players-by-the-players event that if you miss you'll be asking yourself "...uh..what was I waiting on?"

Online Sign-ups and Mail-In (already postmarked) sign-ups now closed.
You still have options to Play this fun event!
You can arrange to get your Cash or Money Order payment to Richard or David:
- During this week leading up to the event
- On Friday at Sun Valley while the course is set up in the evening
- On Saturday Morning before the first round of the Division you hope to play in. At least 30 minutes prior to round.
Naturally, first-come-first-serve will be used for the few remaining spots in the Non-MA1/Open pool, but you are welcome to bump-up when other divisions fill.
We look forward to having all of you as guests at the 2008 Sun Valley Open.
