Finally. This is a big step forward for European disc golf.

Yes. I would like to inform you all about coming Major event.

Inaugural European Open 2006 is going to be held in Tampere, FINLAND. Date is 25th - 27th of August. This tournament is by invitation only, so if you want to compete, you must qualify.

Americans will face the toughest competition ever outside US, since European Open gathers all the best europeans, including World Top-5 ranked swedes, Jesper lundmark and Markus K�llstr�m.

Open division winner will get app. 3 000 USD first price and Womens winner will get app. 1 200 USD.

This is tha place to be!

if i could find a cheap way across the pond, i would love to play at least one tourny over in Europe

Here's coverage (http://hyzernauts.de/hyzer_tv/html/edgc%20pro%20final.html) from the 2005 European Championships

I believe this is the first EC without a Master division.Also the older guys are not allowed?
This tournament looks more like the USDGC!

This is not an EC - this is European Open!
The next EC will be 2007 and then EO 2008 again and so on...

Is there info posted on this event somewhere? Where are you guys getting your news from?

Are Americans going to be allowed to play this one?

I know this one is also for Americans.You guys are finally in.Then of course I don't think this is a real EC.Hey Jussi,if you think different you can tell me.But I always thought that an EC was played every 2 years and with all different divisions.This is more the European version of the USDGC....which is also cool :)
Rhett,I know that David and Avery are going because they are coming to see me.They also wanne play 3 tournaments.Tampere is one of them.
We get most of our info through the internet.Most countries have a web site under the name discgolf.
Just the word discgolf with 2 letters of the country.nl/be/se.
If you have more Q.just let me know.I've been around /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

sorry, my bad.I need better glasses.hahaha
It is not an European Championship.
It is the European Open. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Will we be seeing scores posted as the event progresses? Seems like we should see the first round scores for Group B posted by now?

Scores for first pool are up. The "bigger dogs" are in the second pool not posted yet.

Feldberg and Berlogar each take the first round lead.

I played at this course last year at the EC (although not nearly as good as the first...91 players or so :o). 49 is smokin'!

Keep it up guys!

49 is great, I read that this course has been made a bit tougher, maybe 2 shots per round in average.

Not much chat about this one. So who won? It looks like the final scores haven't been posted yet...

You can view each players scorecards from this page (http://www.opendiscgolf.com/?page=leaderboard&division=open) by clicking their names. Ferdberg didn't shoot a bogey the whole weekend, that is frickin' awesome on that course!
