Essentials...Where is it going to take place? Knob?, Schenley?, or Monroeville?

The original post has been edited. Thanks for picking up my omission KP.

Dave..sounds like it will be fun. What is the format of the tournament? I can help out if need be.

The tournament will be a single round, all groups throwing from the white tees.

With the economy in its current state, the 2009 Pittsburgh Ice Bowl to benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank is taking on more importance than in years past. We, as the discgolfing community of Pittsburgh and beyond can really make a difference if we work together. In order to make this year's Ice Bowl as big of a success as possible, I will need help getting the word out to as many people as possible. Ice Bowl fliers should be posted at all local courses by now (if you play a course and don't see a posted flier, please let me know and I will make sure one gets out there). Tell your friends and family about the event, it is a great way to get others involved in the sport. I will have loaner discs available and there will be a recreational division. Please email me if you have any questions or need any additional information.

In case you were looking for an excuse to get to the Pittsburgh Ice Bowl, you now have one. Thanks to a great sponsorship package from Discgolf U, we will be giving away an Innova Traveler portable basket

A big thanks goes out to Discgolf U!

I am looking forward to an awesome Ice Bowl

I hope everyone is ready for the Ice Bowl next Saturday!

Dave,

Great job running the tournament. I thought everything went great today.

With Schenley in such great shape these days, I think we should have a tournament there some time. Maybe a tournament with a unique format? Would anyone be interested in such a thing?

Sure, how about a Super Class or Vintage Class Tournament, or maybe a One Disc Tournament?

As PDGA State Coordinator, I'd be tickled pink if you'd pilot the new Super Class (http://www.pdga.com/super-class) format with a tournament at Schenley. :cool:

Jeff,
I thank you for your confidence, but I don't know if I can do it. However if there is enough positive interest, I will consider doing it.

I'd be up for running a tournament...I believe that Brian Grace and I would like to do some more things for Schenley in our potential role as "course promoters".

I think it would be fun to do a doubles tournament with randomly paired teams (randomly paired from a "strong partner/weaker partner" division of entrants... if that makes sense). So some of the results would be dictated by luck of the draw, but it would still be a fun event.

I wanted to thank Dave, again, for running the Ice Bowl! Lots of fun, and great turnout! I was bummed that I had to leave before the soup was served!!

For the record, this was my personal best round ever at Schenley, and certainly not what I expected after only playing a handful of rounds in the past 4 months! After seeing the results, I was a bit embarrassed by my choice of division! My player rating is Rec, honest!! :-)
