At Yeti's suggestion, we need to start a "We're calling you out" list of the Texas MPOs that haven't registered yet...

1. My Hero! Where are ya man? Lack of rainfall got you scared?
2. Joel Kelly - and there is even a Fly-Mart to pimp your wares at!
3. Judah - we can take up a collection for an alarm clock far ya if you want...
4. Justin - ?
5. James McCain - you playing for cash or USDGC slot? Get off the fence my man...just get in one or the other! :D
6. Brian Mace - ?
7. Jeff Cooper - ?
8. Joe Torres - ?
9. Billy Nelson - ?
10. Brian Schmidt - ?
11. Chris Ware - ?

ah hell getting called out means I better sign up

So we are going? and staying at Ricks?

My Hero has a child, Justin has a child, Joe Torres has a kid, Juda just doesn't play,Billy who know's, Ware? Joel last minute sign up.

Copper is hurt.

As long as we're calling folks out:
1. Nolan Grider (Past Champion, I'll let him slide due to the kiddo)
2. Olse (Having a great year, probably procrastinating)
3. Dagon (No BBQ-Pit Excuses!)
4. Sayre (No "Business Trip's" to San Fran!)
5. J.D. Ramirez (Coming off of a nice win in Nac)
6. Clayton (These courses need big arms)
7. Moody (Usually plays Waco, but since States took it's place as an NT....)
8. Mike Grider (New Uncles don't get a pass)
9. Alex Downs (Matt H. says he'll play Friday dubs)
10. TheKid (I know I know, "Rick" is going to pay for you)

12. Zamora (Bring Ware)
13. Giggler (J.D. will play Friday dub's with ya)
14. Farnham (Flesner will play Friday Dub's with ya)
15. Pepper (Come on bro)
16. Fosdick (Ahem... MR. Fosdick)
17. Hague (Definite dark horse hometown hero possibilities)
18. Collier (Where has he been?)
19. Bubba (Another likely entrant who is probably just procrastinating)
20. Clint (H-town's newest Pro)

My Hero has a child, Justin has a child, Joe Torres has a kid, Juda just doesn't play,Billy who know's, Ware? Joel last minute sign up.



My-Hero was planning on coming last time I talked with him.

What's Nez excuse?? course to long ? too long of a drive? ;)

Vinnie would love to see Nez playing.... :)

Why is that?

I think Tony is referring to Vinnie making it clear that the "upper management" of the tourney should not play.

I think Jim is right about what I thought about what Vinnie was thinking.

LoL!!! Although I'm sure Nez would like to throw as much plastic as smack this year - he isn't playing. Nez is one of the course officials and non-playin by mandate. I'm not getting to play in this one this year either...it sure was great to get to play in it last year though! I really enjoyed my round playing with Sandalman and glad to finally see his entry is in! :D (Thanks for not making me have to call you out Pat!)

Collier is active duty Army, and I know he's been at Officer Candidate School at Ft. Benning for quite some time now --- plus, his new wife just got home from a year long tour in Iraq.

I wouldn't count on seeing him at a DG tournament in these parts anytime too soon.

With the additional 18 Gimp has this morning, we should be at 132 entries for the tournament. Unfortunately, only a couple more A-pool players though...

Come on gang, call your buddies, call your enemies and let's get this thing full to the brim! That I know of...we've only filled past 200 just one time!

Collier is active duty Army, and I know he's been at Officer Candidate School at Ft. Benning for quite some time now --- plus, his new wife just got home from a year long tour in Iraq.



New wife? What happened to the old one?

I would be there if I didn't have to work. The 22nd is my Bday too :(

BD is :D not :( - - you made it another year! :D

No ball golf-disc golf challenge this year. New ownership at the ball golf course are indiferent to the concept.

Anyone have floor space for 2-3 people??? Probably Fri and Sat nights.. Pm me if so, Thanx alot.

players list?? :D

players list?? :D



well seewhere..if you would use the nice resourses that your pdga membership helps pay for :D
you would find all the players listed by clicking on the pdga tour link and then click on the tournament under either adv or pro in the calendar and you'll see ever player that's registered(or at least input into the system)

if i knew how to do the linking deal,i would make it easy for you...but you'l have to make those 2 clicks all by yourself....

I made "plugs" for Texas States at both player meetings and stressed the importance of getting registrations in right away. A few said that they had already done theirs...looks right too.

Any decision on the pool readjustments?

FYI Ladies, rumor has it that Dee isn't going to play Advanced with us this year. She said she's ready to see us all battle it out and pass her title to someone else. So, ladies step up to the plate quick as our pool is filling fast.

Guys tell your girls to come and get in on the action. Added items for ladies only in players packs.

Sue --- is Dee not playing at all, or she playing in a different division?

Different division, she's ready to beat some guys. Expect a wreck in men's rec! :D Those guys better watch out, cause Dee's coming! And we all know she doesn't like to lose. :)

She better sign up fast if she is playing in the c pool

A couple of notes on the speed golf event I'm running on Friday.

Each T marker will have a clipboard attached to it where each competitor will mark their score for the hole. It should be very straight forward. Also, there are no provisional throws as I've laid out the rules. Any throw counts! Since there are no OB areas for this round and no mandos, there should be no need for a provisional anyway. The lost disc possibility is part of the competition and a way that you can gain an advantage if you use it well.

Also, since there is no drop in required on close shots, remember, if you swipe at the chains and fall in, that's a falling putt. If you swipe and miss, that is the same as a missed putt. Make sure you can hit the chains on that swipe!

Also, know the rules! This is to your advantage. For example, on a missed putt, is it better to go to the missed putt and reputt or to declare it a lost disc and reputt from the same postion?

Does anyone have floor space for 2-3 people. It would be Fri and Sat nights. PM me with any info..Thanx, Jason Terry

fpm did not make as well.

Ben � C-pool (FW1/MM1/MG1/MA2/FW2/MA3/FW3) is closed because it is full. mg1 did not make so those golfers will be given the chance to move to mm1 or get a refund.

B-pool has 13 more spots

A-pool has spots left for now � sign up while you can!

FPM and all other senior divisions are closed (mpm, mpg, mm1 all made)

Juniors remain open.

Gimp

New list up... http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5846#Open If you want on the waiting list for C-pool send me an email to uncdrummer@hotmail.com with waiting list in the subject in caps (too many spam)

Folks who are playing in the advanced and pro divisions are REQUIRED to be current. Please renew and bring your receipt with you to the tournament or you can sign up for the PDGA early before round one....

I'm receiving inquiries about the decks of disc golf playing cards...

Yes! We will have extras available for sale at the merch table. We will have those fabulous tee-shirts for sale as well.

And the dress code?

Dresses are not required. :p

so I guess you'll have to go out and buy something else to wear then. :o:D

Rooster, we know you got those bird legs, and hey now, bet they'd look hot in a mini-skirt. :o NOT! LOL

Better save that for TWC :D

So, are the final pool decisions made, or is reshuffling still a possibility?

Come on Open players we had 5 more for a B-tier in Nac.

I could list off 20+ open players in Texas that should be signed up for the biggest tournament of the year.

LETS GO PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Why is TRob in MA1 and Pool C? :)

They'll be there Chris, some guyz live paycheck to paycheck and can't come off the money right away, some have to wait to the last minute. Hopefully they will still be able to get in when they do have the money. Some Open players are still trying to get the wifey or boss to give the time away to go play.

Is there a hotel deal??? Or does anyone have floor space for 2-3 people?

http://www.texasstates.org/Lodging/lodging.html

A preliminary schedule can also be found at the link Jim posted too...

C-pool is full, B-pool is nearly full, but there is still room at the Texas States Hold'em Poker Tournament on Friday night! :D

One division
One entry fee
One crown
but tons of fun!

Please let me know if you're planning on swinging by on Friday night whether it's for relaxation or for poker.

Is last year's defending Texas State Champ, Coda Hatfield planning on defending his title this year?

Why is TRob in MA1 and Pool C? :)



??? I'm lost...

Yeah i was looking for the joke in that or what it meant and I am lost also....lol

Seems you've got 3 different links to States registrations...

ADV (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5481)
Showing TRob in MA1 and Pool C

INT/REC (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5846)
NT (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5455)
Showing TRob in MA1 and Pool B

Of course, this begs the question: why aren't all of them linking to the same event?

Ah...I had not ever clicked that first one.

What's so special about T-Rob...he's just a hack...why does he get special treatment....lol (too bad he doesnt know how get on the site...or read for that matter.... :D)

Of course, this begs the question: why aren't all of them linking to the same event?



Cuz it's three different events. An NT which by definition is Pro-only, an Advanced A-tier, and an Int/Rec B tier.

Not sure why they seperated the Ams into two seperate tournies, and I'm not sure why all three event pages show all divisions.

Is last year's defending Texas State Champ, Coda Hatfield planning on defending his title this year?



Yeah but like many other Open guys he never expected the divisions to be cut down before the event. :confused:

**** Matt, it's 2:57. You should be listening intently to a trigonometry teacher or something. They must not have detentions anymore. ;)

Is last year's defending Texas State Champ, Coda Hatfield planning on defending his title this year?

:sigh:
The A pool is Pro-only and not full. Next excuse...

Nope I'm in my AG class which means that I can basically sleep for an hour. :D

But if they move the MPM guys to that pool then there will be a lot less MPO spots available.

You have classes that teach you to be aggies? :eek: :D

IF MPM gets moved that leaves 31 open slots, based on current info available (29 filled A-pool slots plus 12 MPM's).


Plenty of room for everyone who wants to play MPO, if they act now. (And again, all players have the same issues of time/money committments)


43 or 31 open slots and 10 days to sign up....tick, tick, tick.


Not ragging on you Matt, just trying to point out the sky isn't falling on the MPO players.

last count, even with the mpm pool added to the A pool, was only like 42 total. Are you really expecting 30 more people? Bottom line, I'll bet good money that any open player that wishes to play, will make it in.

If we start juggling around pool assignments and taking people from the wait-list, then we'll want to give them at least a week to make travel and stay arrangements...I'm guessing that we will want to make our decision by the end of this weekend so that folks will have enough time to make arrangements.

The time/deadline for MPO sign-up is nearing...

The new HFDS bag tag debuts at Texas States! These are sweet brass bottle opener tags, stamped with the HFDS logo on the front, and the tag number on the back.

The tags are $10, and can be had at Texas States, or from Dave Nesbitt or Rick Bannister after States is over. We have printed 250 tags, and of course, all monies raised will go back into the club to be used where all the other HFDS funds go . . . back into Disc Golf!

FYI, Tag Nos. 1-5 are being held by non-playing Texas State staff, and will NOT be in play during Texas States. But if you can find who is holding them after States is over and catch them for a casual round, they will surely be in play after Texas States is done!

SWEET! I am a tag from one to five :D

Isn't this a NT event?

Why would you close the entries for open players?

Why waste the space if there is someone willing to take it? Who's fault is it that Pros are slower then Christmas? That's not very professional now is it :)

Because it is a pro event and Ams should feel lucky that they get to play in the field of a NT event.

Do you think that any of these touring pros will come back to Texas for if there is only 20 open players compared to 60-90 in all the other NT events that they play in.

I would be interested to know what Waco's registration has been with 10 days out the last two years, considering this tournament is essentially replacing Waco as Texas's NT stop. And so you don't have to go and look it up, Waco drew 55 open players in both 2005 and 2004. I had hoped we'd see a similar field (or even larger). Given, the aesthetics aren't as appealing and the location is not as centrally located... but the bigger cash pot should have balanced out those factors. My guess is there will be no less than 40 registered MPO players when all is said and done.

But it's not just an NT for pros where Ams should just feel lucky to play. It is an A-tier for Advanced and a B-tier for below Adv. as well as the State Championships for all.

Who's fault is it that a "professional" doesn't sign up?

BTW, I cant imagine any Pros being turned away unless they(the pros) get on the ball and fill the A-pool. But if they don't sign up less then a week in advance then the blame should go on the shoulders of them not the people busting their hump for the entire Dg community. These guys are putting their heart and soul into this thing, they are not going to intentionally screw anyone out of anything.

The weather forecast reaches to April 21st (Friday) now...0-20% chance of precipitation until Thursday the 20th when it climbs to 30%. Hmmmm...I think MyHero has made a bargain with Ma Nature! :D

Courses were dry, and well mowed...we are looking good so far!

I know that at the Bellsouth there was registration taken on the Friday before the event and they ended up having a total pro tournout of like 150.

I know that at the Bellsouth there was registration taken on the Friday before the event and they ended up having a total pro tournout of like 150.



I also know that the Bellsouth has two weekends. Are you volunteering to help run an Am States weekend?

Keep it coming Matt. As of right now, the Pro's can only blame themselves. The TD staff laid out the guidelines early, Gimp has been on the ball about keeping things updated, and everyone is aware of the situation. Instead of complaining about the situation, complain to your fellow players who are slacking with their registrations.

I heard there is gonna be a few cool features added to the courses. Can we hear an official run down of some of the course changes/additions that will be put into place just for this event?

Do you think that any of these touring pros will come back to Texas for if there is only 20 open players compared to 60-90 in all the other NT events that they play in.



If an event has decent added cash, they will be back. Large turnout actually hurts the payout for top touring pros. It's local pros who benefit with large fields so there are more lower level payout positions. Look at the PDGA payout calculator: www.pdga.com/documents/td/PayoutCalculator2006.xls (http://www.pdga.com/documents/td/PayoutCalculator2006.xls) and compare payouts for fields of 30 versus 60 pros with $5000 added (or what you think might be added). First place drops several hundred dollars with 60 versus 30. This has always been true and has nothing to do with revised PDGA payout tables. If I'm a touring pro, my best economic return will likely be events with lots of added cash promised and potentially low Open turnout.

Low turnouts only hurt local pros not the touring guys. Large turnout definitely helps the local scene more than the travelers even though you might think otherwise. So local guys, sign up and help yourself and your local buddies. Try to keep more of that Texas money at home.

So what you are saying is that "hypothetically" two 988 rated local Pros would benifit more from a larger feild of pros so they would want sign-ups to be taken until the two-minute warning for their division regardless if it were to mean that Ams on a waitlist wouldnt get in and possibly not fill the event???

:D

You mean like waxing the green on #8 at the Wilmont? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif :p

I said changes/additions...i thought that was the regular #8 green :confused:

:D

Good thing your hypothetical scenario doesn't exist. Please note that I've made no posts about pool assignments, in fact, every post I've made has been an attempt to call out pro's (see pages 15 and 26 of this thread)... The last post about Waco was simply out of curiosity, as I'm dumbfounded by the lack of MPO excitement concerning this event.

I never said anything about a 987 rated Pro :) I did say "local" though which isn't entirely truthful technically in my "hypothetical" scenerio :D

Side note...I have a poll running on www.GTDiscGolf.com (http://www.GTDiscGolf.com) for "Who is going to Win Texas States". Currently 3 top guys are the only vote getters but I have a couple of Houston "locals" up on the poll.

I am not usually shocked by low MPO turnouts, but this is a little ridiculous. Even the masters is way less than Waco. Maybe it is just the typical last minute thing. However, maybe it's Matt's fault. :D

Got ya, I just looked up through the thread and found that 2nd 988. :D

Where are all these MPO's you are referring too?

If you get half of the MPO's in Texas and OK that adds up to like 17 players right?

There just isn't that many MPO players in this area of the country. You may want to revise your question to ask why is there 15,674,929 AMS in our area and 29 MPOs

Who ever voted for me has LOST THIER MIND!

I would be EXTERMELY happy if i can beat my girl CP next weekend. :D

We have a nice pro turnout!
- Barry is coming back after a hiatus! Welcome back
- Dave Feldberg is coming back to get his 1st Texas States, and was a regular for many, many years.
- Kev McCoy is bringing the Okies back again and again, and he wants that NT win in Houston!
- Avery Jenkins is going to give them both a run for their money, as these courses are built for both distance and accuracy. (Can't wait to see him throw in the Let It Fly distance CTP fling)
- 2 time Masters World Champ Brad Hammock is coming to renew the rivalry with Joel. It will be his first Texas States, and first return since Worlds. If it is dry, he will love the rollers here!
- we have the largest FPO division we have ever had at States, including a first time for Carrie "Burl" Berlogar and Sheila Kirkham! and the most women overall! We are looking to treat them right, with FPO entry fee discounts, portajohns in the remote areas, special additions to the players pack for women, etc. This should be a great division to watch with Des and Courtney in town as well !
- we have the largest Grandmaster field we have ever had as well. This is becoming a real competitive Texas division with some of our long time masters turning 50
- And remember; we limit the field because we do NOT like 5 somes, we do NOT like ghost cards. We have 3 courses all in the SAME park, so the atmosphere is outstanding.

It is looking like a great weekend of fun in Houston, for Pros and Amateurs alike! Don't forget some DDC and Guts action on the sidelines Friday and Saturday. It looks like we have secured a great beer sponsor for the weekend, so suds will be flowing after rounds Saturday and Sunday; the player package for both Pros & Ams will be talked about long after the event; the trophies are another unique and memorable piece of hardware for those lucky few; and a flymart that is shaping up with some out-of-towners bringing their unique merch!

You gotta want a piece of this!

It looks like we have secured a great beer sponsor for the weekend, so suds will be flowing after rounds Saturday and Sunday;



did they change the no drinking rule at tom bass?? :confused:

That was Tommy...I told him he must have drank too much of that Okie water when he was up there during the Hurricane :o:D

No, but we will have a roped off beer garden area for players and staff only where it will be allowed, by consent of the Parks Dept, and under the watchful eye of our local finest officers!

My best chance to win is if the top 3 cards accidently gets confused durring the round and starts playing the Powell course when we are supposed to be playing Wilmont :D

I guess I have 1 week to put down the tools and pick up the discs and see if i remember how they fly.

Don't worry Kevy. I'm sure you'll make them fly just fine. I'm still on the fence about coming down. I figured this leg injury would have healed by now. It hurts to play one round, much less 3.5. :confused:

Anyone out there that has a wheelchair and wants to caddy for a Hero??? :D

Sorry to hear that My-Hero, however, 10 days is a lot of healin' time! :)

Seriously though, hope you can make it.

never mind

how many spots remain in the Ma1 pool?

There is still room in the B-pool (ma1 is in there), so get your reg. in fast.

I know one person I'm tired of hearing from about low turnout in the MPO and that is YOU Matt Hall!

When Texas Pros were complaining of small Open fields YOU were hiding in the ADV. division, so shut up and put in some time in the Open before you start bashing anybody about the size of the field!

lmao!!! :D

That's why I played like 6 events in MPO before I moved up right? :confused: Guess what? I got my entry in early because I knew I would have to but the fact is that there are quite a few guys out there who never get on the boards and DO NOT know that there is going to be a cut-off date for registration. In the past all players have been able to sign up on friday and many people (all divisions) still think that they can.

BTW I actually should like the smaller field because of the USDGC odds but then again this is a NT and these MPO fellers need to SIGN UP.

no sign up on Friday?
if all players had access to the board/compuTTer and all this information.....OK
But not everyone gets it

Of course there will be Friday signups if the tourney isnt full by then. Just like every other tourney out there, if you wait too long it might be full by then. The only difference here is that there is a chunk of spots being reserved for a while. Should they be able to have those spots on the Friday before an event if other divisions are willing and responsible enough to sign up early and get them?

Talk to your Pro buddies and get them to sign up. I know I have been on the phone telling the locals to snag up the last few spots in the B-pool.

"Who is going to Win Texas States". Currently 3 top guys are the only vote getters but I have a couple of Houston "locals" up on the poll.



My name isn't on there :(

The way I have been playing Bass lately I don't have a chance but if i can learn to shoot like -4 on the Willy again then I will have like a 5%. The ratingds should be REALLY inflated though after this ratings update and if the rating come out like the recent NTs. Heck I could shoot really bad and still hit 1000 :D

People have had many chances to check out the Texas States information at LSS events (at least the last few) or have friends tell them that it was likely to fill. I know the fliers made it out to several other Texas events as well.

I dont see your name on the reg list either. Tell you what...sign up and play in Open and I will see if I can edit your name into the poll :)

in Open???

Yes.

Groin strain around X-mas....explains my participation this year... :confused: Someimes it doesn't hurt, but one toe stub/heal stomp and the healing process has to start all over again. Doc gave me some steroids, but that only made my groin area massive :D :p ;)

I'd consider going if I could get there. Sounds like a good time. And yes, I'd play pro. Gas prices and stupid Charlotte airfare prices are killing me.

Sorry Jim but I cant edit the poll,i thought i could, but i dont have those privelidges on the site.

Feel free to go write yourself in on the polls discussion thread though :)

Careful John.

I hurt my groin in October. It's been over 6 months now and I still haven't recovered. It seems anytime I aggravate it (like being on my feet for more than an hour) I regress about 5 weeks.

Trying to come back too soon (I played an event in Nov.) can seriously lengthen the healing period. Six months without golf sux.

When you do return to activity, I highly reccomend compression shorts and thigh wraps under your regular shorts. They retain heat in your muscles as well as add support. My endurance is doubled when I wear them.

You should try the newer, non-toe stub/heal stomp technique that the other pros are using. ;)

Also, you might want to stop turning around after your crushing drives, grabbing your crotch with both hands, and screaming out "take that beatches."

Just kidding John, groin pulls are difficult to heal. Hope to see you playing soon.

Without having to re-read through the entire thread --- is there going to be a Pro/AM doubles skins match on Sunday as there has been in previous years (this has happend in the past right? I didn't just imagine Olse and Yount taking almost all of the skins one year, did I?)?

That was not States, that was GCCS Finale.

james, you're such a stupid hippy! your posts are eroding away the fabric of this message board. if we don't stop your irresponsible play soon the only person left on here will be matt hall cause he's too young to know better.

frankly, i don't care who signs up, i'll still have fun figuring out which putts i missed that would have given me a chance to beat schultz.............

Phone tree... how 1970's.

extraterrestrialMatt, I fly from Greensboro at less than half the price from Charlotte. Look into it and start packing. It's only 90 miles from C town and the people are nicer.

Get on the internet and book it

My best chance to win is if the top 3 cards accidently gets confused durring the round and starts playing the Powell course when we are supposed to be playing Wilmont :D

I guess I have 1 week to put down the tools and pick up the discs and see if i remember how they fly.



Beer, lots of beer in their water bottles. Works every time...

I'm rooting for you Kevin!

"I think you are going to have to use both hands and feet for that ciphering?"

Is THAT why some folks play in sandals??

People that play in sandals in H-Town, must be expecting rain that day or love fire ants.

$100 less on a $525 flight is not what I consider cheap. Might as well fly to Hawai'i.

If you could find a friend to come I have a free AA companion ticket that will probably go unused, although I doubt they'd let anyone but me use it since my name and frequent flyer # are on it.

To use it, a flight has to be to/from the 48 states, and must be for $299 or more. From DFW, there aren't many flights that are more than $299 that I'd want to take...the ones to Vegas or NY or Florida are all at around $275, so I'm SOL.

extraMaTT - Grab Schwebby and car-pool! :D

Hey I am looking for anyone in the Dallas area who might be interested in car pooling and splitting hotel costs. Anybody out there got any extra room or looking for a roomate??? let me know...
PT

Bling - you might try registering and asking about extra space on the HFDS Message Board (http://www.hfds.org/html/hfds_message_board.html). The locals are more likely to hang out there often times... [Gotta use a real email address and follow its link to reg though...] But that is where you are more likely to find some extra help iin finding a place to stay.

You don't have to reg though. :D:D

Matt, you know if Robbie is staying with anyone??

Bratten? If so he lives here still. Or at least his parents do.

yeah Bratten, I forgot he still lived at home.

Is this thing full yet?
Come on hurry up and sign up make it easy on the td's they could use a break.
We're going to have some fun. I can hardly wait,see ya there
This is going to be big no I mean BIG !!! :D

...and when Roz says BIG, he knows what he is talking about! :DLoL!!!

My advice is to have everyone get on a waiting list too!

Just registered, B-pool, here I come!

someone asked this a few pages back but instead of an answer, he was made fun of.........

".....since this is a NT event/A-tier, will all golfers be required to wear a collared shirt?"

From the NT Player Handbook...


8.3 Dress Code
8.3.1 All players in PDGA sanctioned competitions are expected to dress appropriately and maintain a clean and well-groomed appearance at all Event sites and all associated functions.
8.3.2 The following dress code for all competitors will be enforced at all PDGA National Tour and Major Events. The PDGA also recommends that this dress code be enforced at SuperTour and lower tier events, but this decision lies solely with the Tournament Director:
All players must wear a shirt covering their upper chest area. A well-tailored shirt with a fold-down, mock turtle, v-neck, crew neck, Henley, or zippered collar, and with sleeves covering the part of the arm from the shoulder to the elbow (commonly known as the upper arm), shall be considered acceptable. Women are also allowed to wear sleeveless shirts as designated above.

No tee shirts will be allowed, except for competitors in the Junior and Amateur divisions during preliminary rounds only. Juniors and Amateurs shall not wear tee shirts during semifinal or final rounds. Crew neck or V-neck shirts made of high-performance or high-tech materials, such as Dry-Fit, Cool-Max, and others will be allowed.

Shirts that hang down lower than the bottom hemline on the player's shorts shall be tucked in.

No ripped shirts, shorts, pants will be allowed on the course. This includes unhemmed, torn or cut "vents" at the shirt collar.

No offensive, profane, or obscene slogans or logos shall be allowed on any clothing. Junior players may not wear slogans or logos referring to alcohol or tobacco.

Shoes or other foot coverings must be worn. Players will not be allowed to play in bare feet. Sandals or slides are allowed.

8.3.3 This dress code will be in effect from start to finish at each event, including all tournament rounds. Players who do not make the final cut, but wish to remain on site through the duration of the tournament, will be considered spectators and will not be required to conform to the Tour's dress code.
8.3.4 Any player in breach of the dress code will be warned for the first offense by a Tournament Official or PDGA Marshal, may be required to change attire immediately at the official's discretion, and will under all circumstances be required to change attire prior to the restart of their next round. For any additional offenses, players will be subject to disqualification by the Tournament Director, and may also be subject to suspension from PDGA events at the discretion of the PDGA Commissioner.



Which leaves me 1 question...since there are no semifinals or finals, can Am's wear T-shirts (within the guidelines) during the whole event?

".....since this is a NT event/A-tier, will all golfers be required to wear a collared shirt?"



Are "all golfers" playing in an NT?

Nope only an NT for pros.

I remember reading (here I think) that the Player Handbook applies to all golfers at an NT event, regardless of the actual event tier they are participating in.

Where are all these MPO's you are referring too?

If you get half of the MPO's in Texas and OK that adds up to like 17 players right?

I remember reading (here I think) that the Player Handbook applies to all golfers at an NT event, regardless of the actual event tier they are participating in.



Well, if you read it on the internet, it must be true. :)

Well, if you read it on the internet, it must be true. :)



Especially if it's on the PDGA message board. ;)

The staff has already requested clarification on this policy for our event from the PDGA headquarters. We'll post "word" here as soon as we have it.

It seems a shame that we might not be able to let anyone wear their fancy new Texas States tee shirts at the event though... :( But hey, disc golfers look good in any kind of wear, don't they? :D

Alls I got to say is that if I gotta wear one, Tony does also.

Disc golfers look especially good in tie-dyed wife beaters. :p

Only if it's red. :)

Hey Gimp, did my check make it there??

The PDGA quoted the NT handbook to us...we are asking for clarification about whether the dress code applies to the Am players, but so far, the answer seems to be "Yes" the dress code for a National Tour event is in effect...

I think the safe way to play it at this point is to plan on having to wear a collared shirt. "Neat and presentable appearance" seems to be the point being stressed there...

(For my part, I always wear a collared shirt when participating in any sanctioned event...especially one in which we are likely to have spectators and/or press.) It only helps to improve our public image and tournament organizers need all the help they can get in promoting the sport and in obtaining future sponsorships.

We have confirmed with the PDGA competition director that the dress code will only be in effect for the NT portion of the event, i.e. all professional players. The remainder of the players (adv, int & rec) are recommended, but not required, to follow the dress code as found the the NT Players Handbook

Having not received an NT Players Handbook, nor ever having read said handbook, I can only venture a guess as to the NT standards of dress.

I think I'll adhere to the Required, rather than the Recommended, dress code for the A-tier event that I'm playing in. :cool:

Thanks for the clarification!

ChingLizard, it'll take a lot more than a collared shirt to improve your public image.

I WANT ONE!

Can I get one now or have one reserved??????

I will follow Michael Johansen's lead with a collared tie-dye. :cool:

Suemac, is that opportunity that I hear knocking? I am customer no.1

I WANT ONE!

Can I get one now or have one reserved??????



Huh? What? You want to buy an improved public image???

You might gain a huge improvement in public image if your photo is on one of those sweet playing cards! :D Just think of the fame and glory it could bring you! Will you autograph mine for me Kev?

ahhhhh I'm cornfused....yes I would

I have one of those hanging on the wall of the living room.

Hey, Gimp didn't I see a posting somewhere that you have a couple of other events scheduled for this summer?

I love any one-day events! :D

Where is that posted??

Gimp is out of town for the weekend - he won't be around to answer any questions until early next week.

ahhhhh I'm cornfused....yes I would

Kevin, I have the original ones without the sponsors name. There were only 49 made. :o

Wow! There must've been 2 dozen people out for the Saturday mini at Tom Bass this morning! Good turn-out, many thanks for everyone's continued support of Texas States!! There were many more casuals out there warming up on both the Powell and the Willy! Good to see Mr. McCain with a small delegation checking it out...hope we can get your buddy in!

Courses were in good shape - the Wilmont was about 2/3 mowed and looking pretty good. Crews will be out on Thursday to wax the hill on Wilmont #8.

6 days and countin'....WooHoo, I can't wait. Be there Friday to check out the courses and warm up a bit. Probably in the p.m. What is the layout for Ma1???

It's still undecided Jay...or subject to change, but it looks like you might expect Wilmont Tourney East.

is East the powell or the willly 27? if that plan sticks, would it mean MM1s are getting the willy twice?

lol...he said getting the willy twice.

Thats how Pat likes it......... ;)

I'll take the willy twice. :D

Can we see an updated players list?

Sandalman - MM1 will play Powell/Wilmont/East(Powell-side) so the Advanced Masters will not get to play all holes of all courses. They will miss the top part of the Tourney course.

Fles - don't expect any updated players list until Monday night...Gimp is out of town until Monday and he is the keeper of the holy-registration list! :D

Sweet, doesn't matter what the layout is, I just wanna play some golf!!!! :D

Also please remember that multiple pools and course assignments may change depending on what we decide to do with the available Pool A slots...there is likely to be some changes coming on Monday depending on what the back-log of registrations look like. Wait-list folks are going to want to pay attention on Monday.

Does anyone have contact with Guillermo Avalos or know if he posts on this board anymore?

Sandalman - MM1 will play Powell/Wilmont/East(Powell-side) so the Advanced Masters will not get to play all holes of all courses. They will miss the top part of the Tourney course.

thanks chingster, that'll save me a four :) i'll play the same hole 63 times if thats what states wants! its gonna be a blast playing TBass in the spring

try contacting scooter, he should know how to contact Guillermo.

well, if I post anywhere on this board, chances are that scooter will see it.

what's up joe, you going to states??

I just signed up day on friday

Hope you signed up in the A-pool Joe! Glad to have ya aboard!

Although vegetation isn't as lush as it usually is, the benefit is that the courses are in nearly perfect shape! Bring your crush-rollers out for some max D - the ground is hard-packed and no rain is in sight! (Sorry to disappoint ya Hero! LoL!!:D)

Hey Gimp, did my check make it there??



Yes thank you very much!!!! :D

Hey, Gimp didn't I see a posting somewhere that you have a couple of other events scheduled for this summer?

I love any one-day events! :D

Where is that posted??



There is an event at Mac. Not sure if it is one day or two day yet... It will be posted/emailed when I know... :D

Updated players list Monday night...

Welcome back Gimp! It's all just an avalanche from here! :D

Now I know why Gus Calvo pre-registered for Intermediate so early --- so he could take advantage of the Pre-registered/2-week exemption rule.

Gus --- do the right thing: take your 923-rated self and move yourself up to Adv., where you belong.

Same goes for David Stallman (915 rated now) and Lance Steck (who needs to move his bagging-butt out of Rec and up to Int. with his 892 rating).

Seriously guys. Just because the unintended rule allows you to bag in a lower division, the sportsman-like thing to do is MOVE UP on your own.

I'm not saying any of you are less of a man if you don't...ah, heck, who am I kidding...that's EXACTLY what I'm saying.

Yeah!!!.. Move up and let the REAL intermediate players on the waitlist have their rightful spot that you are currently stealing from them :D

Time out there Rooster! Let's keep in mind that for TSDGC we have fixed pools, and flipping folks from pool to pool would be flipping nuts!

(I think that's what the exclusion is for!)

And they'll all have to move on up soon enough! Think I'd be worrying about my own game and not everyone else's! :o

Rooster.....they didn't know they had an exeption....you should of said they had to move up.........now if they're <font color="red"> </font> BLOODY <font color="yellow"> </font> CHICKEN...... <font color="black"> </font> that's another thing.......lol....come on guys....play with me.....? :cool:

Or what chuck Kennedy suggests:
"TDs who take preregistrations and are worried about it could just not schedule events when the 2-week periods occur. Or they could only accept pre-reg from pros until the ratings are posted. Otherwise, is it a big deal? "


LMAO!!!!!!!
:p :p

Sue and Scott --- is the B pool full now, too? Is there not room for Gus and David Stallman to move up into the B-pool? Last I'd heard, only the C-pool was full.

Sue --- actually, I never worry about my own game. I play because it's fun and I enjoy the competition. Worry? That's what work is for. ;)

I dunno Rooster...I would imagine that the B-pool is full by now but that is just a guess, I knwo as much as you do about that right now.

I see no reason why the Rec Bagger shouldnt be forced up to INT in though since he is in the same pool :D

Obviously, these TDs aren't worried about it so it's a done deal. Players should be allowed to play in the same division for a whole year in my view no matter how good they get unless they wish to move up. Lebron was obviously college or pro level material during his HS years but he didn't have to move up. Tiger was pro material while making his run at several US Am titles. And here we're only talking about a 2-week delay, not a whole season.

"Or they could only accept pre-reg from pros until the ratings are posted. "

this has to be the funniest thing ever posted on this board! :D

the updated players list???191 players just four days away! Impressive.......

Posted by Gimp this morning on HFDS.org:

" http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5846#Open

The two ma2�s with advanced ratings are being bumped to ma1 � Texas States will sponsor the fee increase

The three ma3�s with ma2 ratings are being bumped to ma2 - Texas States will sponsor the fee increase

Pool B is full and we are taking a waiting list for ma1�s. There is a chance we will move the mpg field closer to Saturday to open more spots. Pool C spots are being filled off the waiting list currently.

Email me at uncdrummer@hotmail.com - do not call, do email..."

"Yes, if you are not on this list and have sent money via titledisc.com in since last night, you will be getting a refund and added to the waiting list if you are pool B.

Send me an email to uncdrummer@hotmail.com if you would like to be on the pool c or pool b waiting list...."

Thanks for posting that Fuzzy - and all I have to say about that Chuck comment about waiting to register people etc is WOW :o

I didn't say you should, I said you could IF you cared about the grace period rule being abused.

GIMP,

A few pages back I asked about the INNcolor....are there any left?

hey --- the boards back up! Guess everybody tried to check their new rating at once!

Danielle Vargas is playing Men's Open? :eek:

DV is a typo - the Inncolor discs are not even to the house yet, so they are ALL still available - sorry I missed your note. We have 50 minis (er I mean 49 minis) and 50 discs available.

The Discraft full colors are almost "collectables" now though.

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

I GOTS TO HAVE ONE!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D

What about Maceman. He is too young to be in masters.

Are you sure? Guess I'll move Mace too :o:D:p

John, I don't know for sure, but I suspect he is too young. By the way, I heard that Houston makes Brian feel all warm and bubbly. It's his favorite town. :D

Yea I have heard he can't wait to get down here ;) lmfao

John, I don't know for sure, but I suspect he is too young. By the way, I heard that Houston makes Brian feel all warm and bubbly. It's his favorite town. :D



Last year he posted that Houston was his favorite place to come to. ;)

Brian was born in 1966, and therefore is Masters eligible in 2006.

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

I GOTS TO HAVE ONE!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D



Kevin, I have 1 more supercolor one for sale if you want it.

Sorry. He looks young for his age. Tding must not be very stressful. :p

Hey Lyle, were you running Wilmont on saturday?

Yeah he was. Sunday too. :D

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

I GOTS TO HAVE ONE!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D



Kevin, I have 1 more supercolor one for sale if you want it.



No need for the SWAGG

I want the good stuff!!! :D

If he was the guy that ran through us, he was pretty freakin good (not Scooter and his -9 on powell good, but good) and his rating is way off. Has he taken up steroids since his rating was calculated? ;)

I'll take the Supercolor as it is actually worth something. :o:D

His rating is based off of non-running rounds though. :D

I think I saw this some where, but I cannot find it now. Will there be food for Saturday lunch and how much? what about Sunday? Last I thought I saw was that they were looking for a sponser or caterer.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Sorry. He looks young for his age. Tding must not be very stressful. :p

Hey Lyle, were you running Wilmont on saturday?



Yes, somewhere between 1:00 and 2:00? Actually, my practice rounds don't translate into tournament play. In practice I'm about a 940 rated player, in tournament play (the only play that counts) I'm about an 866 rated player and that's pretty acurate. Obviously I play tournaments for fun... :D

Was that you I ran through? I went through a couple of groups, one on 7, one on 11.

those are good numbers! maybe its an omen - you'll have a 1107 rated round this weekend. (or may be a 711? )

Sandalman - you should be ashamed of yourself - wishing a 711 rated round on someone!!! And one of our local players too! Sheesh! :p My rating tanked last year after I played a 700s rated round in Corpus! It's gonna be another year before it recovers from that one! LoL!!! :D

hey, i said it was a good omen, right? so it'll be the 1107, i am positive. besides, a 711 round from Lyle would be outside of his rantings inclusion range. but i AM sorry that your 700 round IS within yours! :D

Buuuuurrrrrrrnnnn! Now if I coule get rid of that stinking 937 round. :D

Anybody else planning on coming over for poker or relaxation?

We are going to host a little poker on the Friday night before States. Folks that are coming in from out of town can check into their hotel and then scoot over here and do a little "power relaxing" before heading into competition the next morning. :cool:

We have 14 people so far...
The "plan" is to run one tournament - $10 buy-in, and probably have a cash game on the side until closing time. (We'd like to be shut down before midnight so everyone can get plenty of sleep before the tournament.:grin

We're asking everyone to arrive before 8:30 if you want to play in the poker tournament side...not before 7:30 though...I might still be at Tom Bass!

It should be a good way to unwind after your travel into town (or even if you're already in town! ) Come on over, relax and if you're up for it, play a little poker.

PM me if you want to come and hang out and I'll get you directions and a phone number! It's easy to get to and near the Northwest corner of Loop 610.

Yes,
Brian Mace
Shannon Fosdick
and myself were all born in 1966 and are rookie masters this year :D

hey don't you mean 48 minis

Is the A-Pool closed now? One of my to-be-roommates was going to sign up in Open I believe. Just want to see if that is still possible.

Also, if anyone is looking to split a room, I believe I'll be staying at the Best Western at 288 and 635 for $60/night.

ha ha ha ha. now thats funny!
waiting list anyone.

A pool still has spots and you can sign up on Titledisc!!!!

[/QUOTE]

No clue but Jim might be doing ratings for the Minis so it could be out soon. That 937 along with a bunch more <960s will drop out in the summer update. :D

SSA last year (using the '05 GCCS Final) on the Powell was ~51-52. That makes 45 ~1060-1070??

How windy was it for y'all? I know it was pretty windy after y'all finished. Anyways, Powell is a difficult course to get great ratings on when the ratings pool includes some lower rated players. It is a difficult course for a higher rated player to thrash a lower rated player (necessary for a high rating) because there is virtually no trouble for lower rated players to find.

That being said, if the ratings pool included only higher-rated players and it was really windy, I suspect his -9 would be higher than 1070. At any rate, that is a smoking round, and if the kid shoots like that this weekend, the top guys better watch it.

What was the second best round, and who shot it?

It was that steady SW wind that blew all day. A very odd wind IMO (usually expecting a S to SE wind).

Matt at 45
Neal and Jim D at 53
Boo at 55
Tony at 58
Don't remember the other 7 scores.

Just giving an estimate based on prior ratings of that course (the Regular Powell), since we can't use States results (from the States Powell) to judge it...

Full color innova discs are in and look SWEET... :D

:oOOOO :oOOOO :oOOOOOO :o

I GOTS TO HAVE ONE!!!!!

Full color innova discs are in and look SWEET... :D



Will you be at the course on Friday? I'd like to get my hands on one of them before they're all snapped up!

1070ish sounds about right to me... maybe 1080ish given the wind.

Gimp,

I'm definitely going to pick up one as well. Any chance you'll be out at the course on Thursday?

1070ish sounds about right to me... maybe 1080ish given the wind.


The club ratings use a fixed WCP for each course since there aren't always enough propogators to dynamically generate SSA for each round. According to the numbers I have, Powell has a 52 WCP (but so does Wilmont WTF???), so that makes Matt's 45 a 1070 round. The club also doesn't use compression, or the boost, or anything like the PDGA ratings, just 10 points per stroke off of WCP.

Unfortunately, my doctor has suspended my golf for an undetermined amount of time. I hope it's not too long.

Just before Xmas i played in a glow mini. I tripped over a little stump, and fell, hurting my lower right back and my upper/inner thigh muscle. I've always healed quickly....well, not this time. It's been 4 months since the spill, and i'm still hurting. I finally swallowed my pride and went to the Dr. just a few days ago. He wants me to stop all physical activity until some test results come in. Just had X-rays taken on the back, and have an MRI / Cat Scan scheduled for the upcoming week.

It's going to KILL me to have to sit this NT event in Houston out, but if i don't, it will just prolong the healing process that needs to take place....... :mad:

John - I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Your presence this year will be missed...especially if the weather deteriorates! :D

Seriously John, I hope that test results come back negative and that you have a speedy (and compelete) recovery.

I'll second Ching's sentiments. Sorry to hear it bro, I hope the tests come back with good news (i.e., nothing major). If you get a wild hair, come down and hang out anyway...

I won't be playing this event as I have to be somewhere else on Sunday but I plan on being there on Friday and Saturday to film some footage for www.discgolftv.com (http://www.discgolftv.com)

I will also have a fly mart table on Saturday with a few custom discs and lots of the new Swedish Latitude 64 discs. I have been throwing them for a week and they are great. Come see me and get your Swedish fix.

See everyone Friday.
Chris :cool:

I hope Scott will be able to come buy and get some to have at the course on Friday. There are 50, so please make a nice orderly line, there should be enough for everyone lmao :D

Hey, I guess I missed it, but could someone tell me when doubles start Friday?

Friday Pick-Partner Doubles: Pro $21 per Player / Ams $16 per Player
Register Friday 2pm-4pm / Flex start � $1 per Player Goes to The Houston Food bank (this was hard to locate in the information at the first of the thread LMFAO :D)

Another burning question..............which course? :D

Will all three courses be set up on Friday?

We anticipate having all 3 courses setup on Friday sometime...it might get done on Thursday but for sure it will be done on Friday.

Yes! Please come to Houston and support local disc golf, especially, those who've supported this years TS NT; for example, John Edwards who has used his series to help drive this event and is acting as TD, and FlynHighDiscGolf our title sponsor!
