and you will wait M & M, do something creative with your time while waiting.


how about we come visit north cakalack? we may just drop by and "borrow" your dvd!

ju beTTer get out of there, you are going to go stir crazy.

All that extra down time you guys will have while your snowed in, I'm predicting quadruplets by November :D

and in true Sonderfan style of fraternal twins, 1 italian boy, 1 grman girl, 1 mexican mule with a mullet, and a skinny girl named chunks....hehe j/k :D

PS....Never trust a skinny poker player named FATS

wohhhhh, that would be something.

Just got mine in the mail today...way out here in Montucky...this is a great DVD!!

Pre-Qualified players may now register here! (http://www.msdgc.com/register/proddetail.asp?prod=070818_msdgc)

These spots are reserved until March 1st. After March 1st, these spots will be saved no longer.

General registration for Qualified Players and the Five Spots Tourney / Waiting List will open on April 1st.

Check out MSDGC.com (http://www.msdgc.com/) for all the details.

Me too budday!!

Signed up for the tourney, the birdie skins qualifier, the camping at Pyramids, the ace pot, and I think i signed away my soul somewhere in there.

Second.

Edit:
Actually 7th but you get it.

get iTT, got iTT

We finally got our DVD! And I've decided that the 2007 DVD needs to include an expose on the Schwebby cough. :D

If I come and volunteer, does Mitch still have to pay $1000 for me to camp with him? Since moving it up a week, it's no longer right when classes start, and I'm thinking of travelling with Mitch and helping out the tournament however I can.

Players and volunteers can camp at Pyramids. We would love to have ya! And Mitch will probably need some help with his mental game due to those quadruplets.

12 folks signed up so far (I think). It looks like the Pro GMs are going to sell out first this year!

Dodge - Imma gonna put my bid in for the 5 Spots when I can (which I imagine will be a hot ticket this year), but if I don't make it, I'll gladly video. Because, you know, I'm sure you're compiling a list of volunteers already.

Hey I beat you to volunteering! :p

It's for representin da Man Units who make a strong showing this year. At least one in the birdie skins and at least one in the top 10.

Settle down Francis. Everyone that registers can get their money back (less a 5% processing fee :D) until July 15th. That is when we order the coolest shirts in town.

Tell all your pre-qualified friends to register before March 1st or their reserved spot is lost. In mid February, we will start contacting any of these folks that have not yet registered, so the more of them that register, the less work we have to do.

The Five Spots / Waiting List (http://www.msdgc.com/index_5spots.html) Regisration will open April 1st - after we finalize the MSDGC Qualifiers (http://www.msdgc.com/qualifiers_events.html).

August 1st: Any qualified player that has not paid for their spot will forfeit it. Their spot will be given to the player at the top of the Five Spots Registration / Wait List.

August 17th (the day before the MSDGC): Any Women, Grandmaster or Sponsor spots that are not taken will be awarded to the players at the top of the Five Spots Registration / Wait List.

The MSDGC will be a 2007 USDGC Qualifier.

Only 200 days!

OS X USERS GET THE WIDGET! (http://www.tripledisc.com/preview/msdgc/msdgc2007countdown.wdgt.zip)

only sumpin sumpin days left!

only 18 days left to register for those lucky dogs (like myself) that are prequalified with no money down.

register w/ no money down...How?

First you get down on your knees...

Can you make more qualifiers in the midwest?

Like the River City Rumble in Davenport Iowa? It's an A teir and if you can shoot well there, than you can sure shoot well Anywhere. It's a very tough course

Course record is 77 by Sprague and your truely

you seem desperate to get in. Why not talk to the people who RUN the events out there and get THEM to contact the MSDGC folks about qualifying. I think you should probably look to a big event liek the Minnesota Majestic which is a little closer, but still a haul. Or you could come for the 5 spots qualifier, which I think may actually be a few more than 5 spots this year.

Well worth the trip even if you don't get in.

I believe you will definately get in through the five spots.

Thanks Peck, I think I'll talk to The TD and see what his thinking is. I believe Timmy already has the Majestic as a USDGC qualifier.

Thx for the vote of confidence 'Zzaks'

register w/ no money down...How?



Maybe there are details on the website. But I doubt it. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I will add this to our list of potential qualifiers.

Steve, I will likely be one of the top few of the 5-spots (I know what I'm doing April 1st), but I also might have a HUGE professional obligation (opportunity) the weekend of MSDGC). If I get on the 5-spots, can I still withdraw (whether or not I get picked ot make the tourney)? And when can I?

I obviously don't want to miss the tourney, but should I have to, it would be for an extremely greater good...

Full refunds are being offered until August 1st (less a 5% preocessing fee).

I will add this to our list of potential qualifiers.



Thanks Steve, I have been in contact with the TD and he's excited bout being a potential qualifier. He was in line for USDGC qualifier, but that didnt work out.

This is a GREAT alternate

I have passed him along all the information you sent me and he will be in contact with you.

Berksire Brewing has signed on as the Entertainment Sponsor of the 2007 MSDGC. We are taking a poll to determine what type of beers we should have at the Pyramids Poolball Party.

Take the poll. Pick our kegs. (http://www.msdgc.com/berkshire.html)

Please note: The MSDGC does not allow the drinking of alchohol during rounds. Really.

Please make sure that applies to event staff as well. I myself was guilty of such and was thankfully reprimanded by another event staffer. :D

the beer the last two years was pretty stout...It grew hair on my #$*&$! :D

as long as the hair grew before Saturday Night, you were probably fine... oh wait, you haven't gotten the full MSDGC experience yet. I think it's gonna be time for a buzz this year.

My votes: <ul type="square"> Lost Sailor India Pale Ale. An English IPA, this is their flagship beer and an excellent session beer. It's got a relatively low alcohol content (5.5% ABV) and high hops character. The beer for when you're having more than one.
Imperial Stout. A Russian Imperial Stout, 8.5% ABV. This is one of the most drinkable Imperial Stouts out there.
Raspberry Strong Ale. An American Strong Ale, this beer clocks in at 9.0% ABV. The raspberry taste is not overpowing as in some other fruit beers. [/list]

IPA, then Schwebbeweisen, then probably an ale. Since there are no descriptions, it's hard to choose. Sounds like anything that's banned in 3 states is good with me.

I went Hefeweizen, India Pale, and Raspberry.

I think i went Oktoberfest (good god i love oktoberfest anything), imperial, raspberry. Let's just get really high % stuff.

Hello Race Fans!

(That was the best Steve Dodge impression you'll never hear.)

Any of you fans of the MSDGC who live in areas served by community or public access TV should give me a shout if you're interested in bringing the MSDGC and Disc Golf Live video magazine to your station for broadcast.

The current episode includes some MSDGC bits, along with some Am Nats and USDGC material. The shows are free to broadcast partners, and its easy to make up a tape to bring to the station. There are a bunch of stations across the country (and huge numbers in the North East region) and most are friendly and eager to accomodate your broadcast request.

Its great to hear folks say "I saw disc golf on TV last night!" Contact your local station and see what it'll take to submit a show, then give me a shout.

Joe

So, how come on the MSDGC website, when I click on "About Leicester" under the travel page, it goes to some random dude who lives in Idaho's photography webpage?

Seriously! http://www.ci.leicester.ma.us/ &lt;--is the address for the City of Leicester, MA... or so it should be! But it's Matt Leidecker Photography, and he seems to live in Idaho... He's also gonna have a lot of hits on his website pretty soon :)

Central Mass Visitors Bureau has given us some money!

So we have adjusted the payout:

Central Mass Visitors Bureau has given us some money!

So we have adjusted the payout:

http://www.msdgc.com/players_payout.html



Is it just me or does the payouts look a little skewed in Open? The second place finisher wins over $2500 less than the winner, which is over half, and the third place finisher less than 1/3 of what the winner takes in. That's a very disproportionate amount of money for what could be one stroke difference between each of the top 3 finishers. This is something touring players have moaned about for years: if they finish just one place or one stroke better and suddenly they're not eating popcorn for dinner that week.

You are right Jeff. We added $1000 to the ladies straight up. We added the money to MPO top heavy. All of the top folks are getting more money than previously, but the top finisher got more for the big check photo-op effect. We're talking with the visitors bureau about getting more publicity and local folks involved.

On a side note, I'm hoping the 5th place finisher can eat some good popcorn for their $1,000+.

Considering that the likely winner will have played in Skins, it skews their overall payout even higher. But since it's not PDGA the payout's whatever MS wants to do. Perhaps the CVB specified their contribution should only go to the Open Men and Women Champs?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I got in off the wait list!!!!


I am scarred of not being at Pyramids to camp. Bard is on that list twice anyways, can I take one of his spots? And I am sure Belhumer never really goes to sleep, he just sits by the fire all night.

gonna be a long, drunken walk back from Pyramids every night. :(

hey, how close to the courses are the motels listed on the event website? any of those better than the others?

don't stay in a motel/hotel, you will miss out on too much fun.

also any way I can get in on Pyramids camping? I could definitely donate some discs or something to use for contests or to give to spotters/staff. I will also have my laptop with me if the scoring guys would like to use it (I have a Sprint internet card).


(yes, I am lazy :p )

I would also like to ante up for a pyramids camping spot.. Anyone I come up there with will be camping there...

Maybe ebay a spot..?? :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Steve- sent you a PM to your non-admin acct

thanks luke, but my wife and kid will be with me, and camping wont work... anyone know how close these hotels are?

hey, how close to the courses are the motels listed on the event website? any of those better than the others?



too lazy to see whats listed but last year I stayed at the Hampton Inn which was about 20 minutes from the courses and definitely the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in.

If you didn't get a camping spot at Pyramids I think you can camp at Maple Hill which is a short walk from Pyramids....contact Steve Dodge.

thanks Will, that will work :)

The hotels are about 15 minutes away.

6 days...

Good luck MiTTenZZ...we'll be rooting for ya in the CO

MiTTenZZ needs money to make some mortgage payments...

MiTTenZZ better blast in the great northeast then

We have reached an epiphany. This will be the last MSDGC. This realization, however temporary, allows us to throw caution to the wind, especially in terms of camping.

Jason realized something important. Maple Hill has limited camping according to its Special Permit issued by the Leicester Zoning Board of Appeals. Pyramids doesn't have limited camping according to their special permit. The complicating factor is that Maple Hill�s special permit doesn�t allow for �pedestrian traffic between the courses.� If too many people camp at Maple Hill they�ll be walking down the street to join the festivities. It�s not the best way to make friends in the neighborhood. Trust me on this one.

Besides, we have festivities planned, and we don�t want people to miss them.

Camp at Pyramids if you�re in the tournament or on staff. Here are the rules:

1) Please don�t put glass in the fire
2) Please don�t litter; butts are litter
3) Please don�t drive on the DDC Court
4) Please don�t bring friends, caddies, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, children, dogs or hangers-on to camp at Pyramids. By all means, however, bring them to the party Saturday night, except for the dogs. (We have our own dogs, and they get jealous.) If you�re with other non-tourney people, camp at Maple Hill. It�s much quieter there, and the camping possibilities are various; you may get eaten.
5) Please don�t bite Pierre, and don�t let him pat you

In general, however, we're calling Woodstock Rools. Who�s driving to Duncan Donuts? It�s just down the street. You�ll be our hero.

There are other stooped rules, but they�re not worth naming cause they don�t apply after 8 p.m.

And before anyone asks why, the trophy only has four sides and it will be full after this year. My note to folks that want to create an event in the future, make your trophy pentagonal.

I liked you guys better when you were epiphanyless.

You can't have an MSDGC without camping? Isn't there a campground in the area that people could stay at? I've stayed at a hotel the last two years and I have just as much fun. :cool:

Hi Steve, Have I qualified yet to enter the Masters Rankings? Thanks.

5) Please don�t bite Pierre, and don�t let him pat you

Hold'em Tournament Update

If we fill to the new 40 player limit, these are the projected payouts: $580 and a Marshall Street poker table valued at $1200
$370
$240
$200
$160
$130
$110
$90
$70
$50 Since the Marshall Street Poker Table is added to the first place prize, the payouts will be a little bit flatter than traditional poker tournaments thus meaning that if you make the final table, you will be getting paid for your accomplishments :D

Weather report as of today.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Leicester&amp;state=MA&amp;site=BOX
Not too shabby if it holds true...which just means Saturday and Sunday of the event will be 95 with 132% humidity or 50 and torrential rains again...

I was feeling so good up until the rain last year. This year the NC crew will all be bringing umbrellas and warmer clothing. :D

I say poo to umbrellas.

And I say poo to the 100 degree plus weather and hello Atlantic northeast. But please, no rain, I hate it when my mascara runs. I'm too slow to keep up. But i shouldn't have said since only my hairdresser knew. Crap!

That's ok Stan, as long as your NEW hairstylist is Lick, I'm sure it won't matter.

I should be there late Tuesday, who else is gonna be there early?

I remember a glow round Wednesday(?) night last year a big group of us played, I played with a Flashlight(one of the light up Frisbees) and shot better than I did my final round of the tournament, in the light w/ my whole bag of actual golf discs.

also- any recommendations for courses to play on the way to or from MSDGC? I live in western, NY. I was thinking of hitting Wickam on monday after the tournament, then maybe Warwick(never played there) on tuesday.

You'd be better off hitting warwick on monday, then jumping on 84 and hitting wick on tues. Maybe hit campgaw in between.. its in the short layout right now, but its still worth a play.

Yeah buddy, me, you, Derek, Yeti with his first run skeeter and a couple Man Units...i shot -2 with a Banger GT then shot a 57 with a whole bag in the tourney...oops. Marsha and I are showing up Monday afternoon.

who won the jersey jam spot?

Robin Billig and Nate Krahn won the two Jersey Jam spots.

Good Luck to all the TEXANS in attendance.

I was in the mix too, with my curiously flippy 150g STAR Goblin. Good times!

Is the MSDGC the same as the USDGC????

Is the set of poker chips I left there last year still there? Or should I bring my new set?

Is the MSDGC the same as the USDGC????


I don't think so...
Marshall Street DG (http://www.msdgc.com/)
and United States DG Championships (http://usdgc.com/)

Marshall Street is not a sanctioned PDGA event.

Check it: NEFA discussion board thread for MSDGC (http://www.nefa.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1697&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;star t=0) <font color="blue"> </font>

Has the Mule made it up there safely? :D

a mule has been spotted

Did someone mention a spotted mule?

prepare for the next wave of invasion from the Queen City coming in on thursday, early thursday.with ME, wesnofske, and the foil freak to help dome remember some time in the land of disc golf, that him and the rest of the Frizzaks spent down here. i am itching to play now
mj

not to mention when Matt and Henry come up the next day

Sorry to spoil the fun MJ, but Dome is not AtteNding the MSDGC...dont worry, hes on Double secret probation, and we are working out a punishment. Maybe a concious Smack, Fart, @#$#!!!!! We will be there tomorrow, and playing FRIZbeer(polish horse shoes)...get in on a game, dont be scared, or scarred.

see now that souds interesting, and kick domes [censored] for me then

I'll bring my Pluto for Polish Horseshoes. Being Polish does not give you an advantage either.

Good Luck to all the TEXANS in attendance.



Hell yea!! Thanx C-dub :) We'll make the Double R Proud. How bout a WAREther report for the rest of the week?

Hey Dome, :mad:, your a pooh see!

No advantage for being Polish, well that suxx!

dam family lol

I will be up there on sunday to watch and play polish horseshoes of course

ZZ

werd sun.

had some tough games of FrizBeer last night , on the now lit up DDC course.

there was a 9 or 10 - some who played a late night round last night. One Man- Unit did not make it for all 18 holes.

weird having only 3 FriZZaks here.

completely new Maple Hill #12,and #18 is longer from golds now. I would guess it will make the course play 2 strokes tougher(12 is now a sorta easy par-5).

Who is in the birdies skins?

Who is in the birdies skins?

Southwick's Zoo (http://www.southwickszoo.com/) may be just down the round in Mendon, Ma, but they don't have anything on the collection of Frisbee freaks on hand at the properties of Jason and Tom Southwick in Leicester, MA for the 2007 Marshall Street Disc Golf Championships!

I arrived yesterday evening to find the party in full swing, with spirited rounds of Frisbeer, Double Disc Court, putting, glow in the dark golf and just about every other frisbee related activity you can imagine going on, not to mention several poker tournaments. With four rounds of disc golf on two world caliber courses, awesome player's package, filming for an annual DVD, a pig roast / barbeque, Pool Ball, poker tournaments, pie-eating contest, 6 kegs of beer (five different flavors) a pool, a hot tub, slushies, and head-shaving, there's just nothing like it.

Along with my partner in crime and Co-Director of Scoring, Andrew "Big Dog" Sweeton, we'll be on hand to provide live scoring and blogging throughout the weekend. We'll try to keep you all regularly updated as best we can.

There is the MSDGC, and then there is every other disc golf tournament. :cool:

About midnight last night a front blew through and dropped over an inch of rain. We awoke this morning with sunny skies and temperatures only in the high 50s! There's moderate breezes up to 20 mph with occasional 30 mph gusts that have already messed with some player's drives on hole 18 at Pyramids, resulting in several OB shots. It is expected to warm up "greatly" :Dto a high of 71 degrees, with the same on Sunday, so other than the gusty winds, one could not ask for more perfect conditions for a weekend of disc golf. :cool:

Course Records:

<ul type="square"> Pyramids Silvers course: men: 43; women: 48 Pyramids Gold course: men: 52; women: 60
Maple Hill Elements (red) course: men: 42; women: 53
Maple Hill Airplanes (gold) course: men: 55; women: 65
[/list]

Which course records will fall this weekend?

completely new Maple Hill #12,and #18 is longer from golds now. I would guess it will make the course play 2 strokes tougher(12 is now a sorta easy par-5).



I wouldn't say it's easy. The first thing I did when I arrived yesterday was play a round of golf on the Maple Hill Airplanes course. Again, I was awestruck. There's not many courses in the world that I would qualify as stunningly beautiful, but Maple Hill is certainly one of them. The combination of hardwood forest, Christmas trees, water hazards, huge elevation changes, and the idyllic setting next to 5 separate ponds make for a course that takes my breath away on every teepad. In fact, I would say that when you're down by the water on holes 5,8,9 or 14 it's one of the most picturesque spots on any disc golf course on the planet. :cool:

Back to hole#12: This new 730' pro par 5 is simply a masterpiece! The tee shot travels straight through a wide fairway in heavy hardwood forest for a distance of about 330 feet to the landing zone, at which point the fairway doglegs right. From there it's then about 250 feet to clear the woods, where it opens up. However, the basket is perched uphill another 150 feet or so amongst a tall group of Christmas trees. The drive is critical, as any error will result in a pitch-out shot to the dogleg. From there, throwing a shot that makes it out of the remainder of the wooded fairway and all the way up to the polehole is challenging. The christmas trees around the polehole are the tallest of any found on the property, and definitely come into play. (You can easily throw over them on holes 1,11, and 13.) Conservative fairway shots will probably net the birdie four for most competitors on hole#12, but aggressiveness may result in some bogeys or worse. I do expect at least one top Open golfer to eagle 3 it. :cool:

Course Records:

<ul type="square"> Pyramids Silvers course: men: 46; women: 48 Pyramids Gold course: men: 52; women: 60
Maple Hill Elements (red) course: men: 42; women: 53

Has Pyramids Silver been changed? Cuz I believe I shot a 43 in 05 and a 45 in 06....but if the course has changed a new record must be set :D:D

If I only played that course my Marshall St World ranking would be much higher ;)

Courtney says that 65 on Maple Gold is going down next year ;)

**** I know everyone is having the time of their life there.... :D

John McGinley crashed chains on Pyramids Gold#18, but alas, it did not stick for the ace. :(

Kev,

I just checked with Jason Southwick, and no tees or polehole positions on the Pyaramids Silver course have been changed. Your 43 is indeed the course record! The information will be passed on to Steve Dodge and the website adjusted in due time. Sorry, Kev.

anything coming yet I need some numbers please

We just lost power! Apparently seven towns in the neighboring area are without power which reportedly won't be restored until at least late afternoon. We pulled a truck up to house and connected the modem &amp; router to a converter on the truck car battery, but the internet company apparently lost power too and we're not getting a signal.

Thankfully, Co-Director of Scoring Andrew "Big Dog" Sweeton has a aircard-equipped laptop and we can still connect to the internet. Hopefully live scoring will then proceed without interruption for the rest of the day. :cool:

anything coming yet I need some numbers please



First round scores are expected within the next 30 minutes.

Are the pars for both morning courses the same at 63? What are they for each of the four courses?

nice lookin lead card with jojo and sjur yaping away should be a fun group

Are the pars for both morning courses the same at 63? What are they for each of the four courses?



63 is par for pyimards gold
54 is par for the maple hill elements

<ul type="square"> Pyramids Silver Par 56 Pyramids Gold Par 63 Maple Hill Elements Par 55 Maple Hill Airplanes Par 63[/list]

Remember, Maple Hill Elements is "Round 2" both rounds on day 1, Pyramids Gold is "Round 1" on day 1.

Ah, like Worlds then. That's what I was wondering.

Apparently there was an ace on Pyramids Gold hole#6! I'll have to see if I can find who it was.

The ace was recorded by Brian Kozicki of Manchester, CT on hole#6 of Pyramids Gold. He flicked a yellow Star Roadrunner right into the bucket. Congrats, Brian! :cool:

In her bid to win a fourth consecutive MSDGC title, it looks like Des Reading has opened a 4-stroke lead on her closest cardmate through 13 holes of play. However, don't count out Angela Tschiggfrie, who is making a move from the second Women's card. :cool:

Scott Papa just got his drive stuck somehow against the telephone pole on hole#18 at Pyramids! It's one of the most hilarious shots I've ever seen in disc golf, and it was most appropriate that it was thrown by the purple-haired wonder from the Pac Northwest. No 2m rule in effect, safely in-bounds, and we have the pics to prove it. :D

It was surprising to see Cale Leiviska on the third card after the first round of play, but he's made his move in the second round by going up by 4 strokes on his nearest cardmate through 16 holes of play.

Angela Tschiggfrie continues her hot play, as she's now up by 5 on her nearest cardmate through 15 holes of play.

The ace was recorded by Brian Kozicki of Manchester, CT on hole#6 of Pyramids Gold. He flicked a yellow Star Roadrunner right into the bucket. Congrats, Brian! :cool:



Who in the world flicks a roadrunner ??? Was it a roller ace ?

Ok , I just looked that he images for that hole . I can see the flick ace with the Roadrunner... Congrats ....

ZZ son

**** it was windy today

Cale Leiviska shoots a 48 to jump into a tie for the lead with Michael Johansen!

Angela shoots a 55 to make up two strokes on Des, but the 57 recorded by Des leaves her four strokes ahead of Jennifer Ketz, 5 over Kristen Weidle, and 6 over Angela Tschiggfrie. At one down, Des is the only woman under par. :cool:

Cale Leiviska shoots the hot round of the day, a 48, to jump into a tie for the lead with Michael Johansen!



Do it to it MJ!!!

In Grandmasters, Jim O'Hara and Davis Johnson were tied after the first round at Maple Hill. However, Jim moved 3 strokes clear of Davis with a stellar round of 57 on the Pyramids Gold course. :cool:

Mark "Sharky" Sherwood is another three strokes behind Davis.

WOW What a SICK PAYOUT!!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Cale Leiviska shoots the hot round of the day, a 48, to jump into a tie for the lead with Michael Johansen!



If my math is correct, Justins 46 was 2 strokes better :confused: :D

I also just ran some figures and I do see that 46 is in fact 2 better than 48.

Ah, but only the 48 was good enough to get the lead...
