Thanks for the link, Steven. The nicknames on there alone are worth checking out!

This Tournament was "most excellent"! The grub was fantastic (the vegetarian sandwich was AWESOME) and the basket layouts were great! Looking forward to the 2013 Rock!

The cashless pre-reg is a great thing to have at one's disposal..........I'm personally a big fan! What I do know is that in that "state up north" if someone abuses the cashless pre-reg....example....someone registers for a tournament and does the no call no show that person is not allowed t ... more

What I do know is that in that "state up north" if someone abuses the cashless pre-reg....example....someone registers for a tournament and does the no call no show that person is not allowed to use the cashless pre-reg at all in the future.....these individuals are tracked at the following link on discgolfscene....

I agree with the pre pay, and I'm one of the people who had to drop unfortunately :(

If you drop out early enough, the PDGA requires that you get your cash back, and if its something last minute, or you don't feel like playing in the rain, the TD shouldn't be the one who suffers. Also, if you do drop out close to the deadline, and the TD chooses not to give you the money back, they are required to give you the players pack items and all that stuff.

Yeah, it still sucks for you because you're out some cash, but the issue was yours and not the TDs.

i agree with the prepay. its too easy to back out at the last minute if you are not committed.

Eric, thanks for posting that news story on our Rock. As for all of those no shows, you missed a great time and after an early sprinkle, the rest of the day was beautiful!

Thanks for the fun tournament sorry you lost out on participation I fully support the move to prepay. Also thank you very much for putting the scores on PDGA. I know i am not the only player who appreciates the speedy upload.

Firstly, thank you all for the wonderful words and comments. As Rick pointed out in his suggestions for the future, due to a huge number of drops the week of the event and (the field was 88 at one point, reduced to 60 day of), the CLE Rock in the future will be a strictly payed pre-registration event. As I am sure many of you are aware, not only do tournaments require people power, there is an outlay of money that is needed to make things happen.

Firstly, thank you all for the wonderful words and comments. As Rick pointed out in his suggestions for the future, due to a huge number of drops the week of the event and (the field was 88 at one point, reduced to 60 day of), the CLE Rock in the future will be a strictly payed pre-registration event. As I am sure many of you are aware, not only do tournaments require people power, there is an outlay of money that is needed to make things happen. While our club will never get rich running this tournament, we are counting on the "revenues" to offset the cost of the tourney and to hopefully be left with a couple of hundred extra dollars to do ongoing course improvements. Due to the heavy fall off, this year's tourney barely covered itself. Lessons learned.

On the other hand, thank you all to who contributed and made this event run so smoothly. Gyo and Schwartz busted their butts last week to put in our first 13 alternate pin placements and we will continue to invest what money we have in to completing the rest of the first round of alt pin placements, hopefully before the snow flys or at least in the Spring. Thank you to Eric and Katie for making the payouts at the end of the tournament run so well. Thank you Marky Mark Thompson for contributing your time and talent in making this year's lunch both enjoyable and a culinary joy! Thank you to Hole 8 Disc Golf, Catfish and Spiggy for making the Player Pack disc distribution run so well and thank you to Mel for helping me throughout the day.

We have a wonderful group of players here in EUCLID! and throughout NEO and beyond who continue to add to and contribute to our scene. Thank you to the 60 players who showed yesterday and who made (and make) this event such a wonderful one to run. Hopefully we will see you return next year and we will be back to a max field of players. I can not tell you how wonderful it is to see full cards and a full field turning your home course into an event!

Had a great time at the Roc yesterday. Thanks to all who helped to put this together. Special thanks to Gyo for the new basket placements. I actually birdied a few in the Roc! Marc, what a great lunch. That chick pea, raisen, carrot concoction was out of this world! Eric,you ran a tight show.

Suggestion for next year to help avoid all of the no shows. Get the registration up on the PDGA sight early and get people to commit with $$ early. If you paid already, the chances that you wil ... more

Suggestion for next year to help avoid all of the no shows. Get the registration up on the PDGA sight early and get people to commit with $$ early. If you paid already, the chances that you will blow off the tourny due to some rain or hangover are greatly reduced. Don't be afraid to ask your friends and comrades at Sims for help. We are here for you!
