CHAINS AT KENSINGTON

Daemon Stahlin    June 9, 2009 at 9:33pm

I propose the next CHAINS to be held on Sunday 6/28. Mushrooms will already be in the A2 area that AM. We should play in the A2 area and hold CHAINS at a park in the city, West, Gallup, etc.

Since it's a putting picnic there will be emphasis on flexibility so players can come and go as they please. I'm gonna bring a bag of charcoal, lighter fluid and a propane grill. It'll bee BYOB and eats. If you decide to come out and have a basket we can use, please bring it out. Never can have to many putting pits. CHAINS motto is 'Be Nice or LEAVE!' PEACE

CHAINS!

Joe Anttila    June 5, 2009 at 11:35pm

CHAINS! I'll bee at the TOBO for an 11:00 round then we'll begin a CHAINS picnic around 3:00. Format will be slightly different than previous events to accomodate a more casual and flexible event. I'll bring out a bag of charcaol and lighter fluid as well as a propane grill. The picnic will be BYOB and food or potluck if you'd like to bring a dish to share. Also, games will most likely be $1 to $2 dollars and we'll play several. All are invited. Hope to see ya out! PEACE

you should all be ashamed

Joe Anttila    May 28, 2009 at 12:46am

Basically retarded?

Daemon Stahlin    May 27, 2009 at 11:59pm

douchebaggery?

Joe Anttila    May 27, 2009 at 11:45pm

It's a putting picnic. Not an actual tournament. Most likely double elimination bracket style. You have to be undefeated to win. It'll start late in the afternoon so no TD's need to bee offended. IT"S A PICNIC. I'll bee drinking beer, eating food and getting ****ED UP trying to run this thing. I'll need help counting numbers cause I most likely won't bee able to see straight. CHAINS=planned and coordinated debouchery.....

Ben Calhoun    May 27, 2009 at 10:11pm

Anyways, what is this tournament format? Singles? Doubles? 2 rounds? 1?

Jonathan Dobberstein    May 27, 2009 at 12:36am

I wouldn't play in the tournament either way, but the decline of DGLO as a prestigious tournament is comical. It used to be a premier event with some of the top pros attending. No I'm not talking about 10 years ago, I mean 3 years ago. Kevin, you need people who are willing to put in the time to bring it back to a premier status, although a well run LP Open could squash any chance of that.

Not sure how you fix the payouts, but maybe talk to Larry or Bruce. There's obviously ... more

Not sure how you fix the payouts, but maybe talk to Larry or Bruce. There's obviously a trade-off between putting new courses in the ground and making players happy. I would argue it maybe shifted too far to new courses and you have deterred players from playing your tournaments.

Anways, this being a EMDG event and all should make it the **** and i will bee sad to not attend. I will be playing in my local B-tier

Sorry Joe I do appologize for hijacking of the forum. Never seems to stop the complaining on A3's PDGA discussion board though.

As far as the plastic payouts at No-Foolin. I suggest you talk to the PDGA, because nothing that was done violated the PDGA suggested payouts. And we even bumped up the payouts from what was suggested. Yes there was the problem with 1 division, but we tried to take care of it after the spreadsheet was re-checked.

Rooster, Do you have a suggestion on how that could have been handled differently, or do you still want to complain about a tournament you didn't even play in.
Yes I admit it A3 has had a poor reputation in the past. Thats one of the reason I wanted on the board to see how things were done and why they were done a certain way. And trust me I'll be the first one to stand up and say something if there is anything shady going on. But like I said I have seen nothing that is different than other clubs are doing. People just seem to focus on A3 for some reason.

Anyway, short of telling people to not go to Joe's picnic. I do ask that everyone try to play in DGLO. There was alot of work to boost the player pack this year. I plan to register and I doubt I'll even be able to play since my daughter is due on that day. And if I can play, its great that Gabris and all those so called good AM1s aren't playing. leaves me a better chance at getting one of those Am Nat invitations.

OK MR. Antilla I'm done.

Nolan Earl    May 26, 2009 at 10:50pm

if you are playing disc golf for money and not for enjoying the sport, i think it is time you did something else. payouts should just be a bonus.

Joe Anttila    May 26, 2009 at 10:31pm

This thread is for a disc golf picnic. NOT ****ING ABOUT OTHER CLUBS. I suggest all of you ****s make your own bort. Title it, "****ing About Nothing While Bored at Work'. Post a link here. I'll even sign up and join ya'll on that motha****a.

Andy Bawol    May 26, 2009 at 10:17pm

let me rephrase, a3 sucks at running tourneys. look at this years no foolin'. you don't get a bad reputation for no reason. i do appreciate what they do outside of tourneys....has any other club been more instrumental in getting courses installed in MI?

Daemon Stahlin    May 26, 2009 at 9:27pm

yes agreed, rooster said it all. eloquence. a3 sucks balls! both courses at indy suck, and the course at lakeshore offends me highly.

please KW, i request fewer new courses paid for and installed by a3 in the future. with the money a3 saves by not paying for any more courses, all the really good am1's could now receive 10-15% more plastic for tournament payouts.

Jeremy Gibbs    May 26, 2009 at 9:25pm

"Merging" the 101 (about the players) philosophy and still taking enough profit to be able to put in sweet courses like Lakeshore. . . Is that even a possible compromise? But if people stop going to A3 tournaments, where will the money come from?

Kevin Williamson    May 26, 2009 at 9:05pm

So tell me what you want from A3. This is my first year on the board, what would you like me to get across. So far I've seen nothing but A3 doing the best they can and building the disc golf community. Can you give specific examples of what you want changed? I'm interested.
