2016 Ledgestone Insurance Open presented by Discraft

Good question - worse scores will tee off in the morning.

With each division split in half? Or, might I be the only MS1 that has to show up at 8am?

No, I will keep the smaller divisions together and they won't be split. At this point in time I do not know what divisions will go where. I was answering the question for a large division like MA1, where I would have to split divisions.

Thanks for the answers, Nate.

Good. As a result, there are only 4 more spots for AdvGM. Sorry, Adv Senior GM. Forgot how old I am.

Does anyone have any info on what city/town will host the events after the rounds? I really want to make sure I have a place close to all the action. Thanks for any help.

Here is a list of our host hotels:

http://lisopen.com/event/hotels/

Any of those hotels are close enough to the action.

Staying in Morton is better if you are playing MPO; staying in Pekin is better if you are FPO or any other age protected pro division; staying in Peoria is better if you are an AM.

The player's party will be in Pekin, as well as the Disc Golf Festival for the first few days. A lot of other activities will be in Morton/Eureka. There are no hotels in Eureka, but its only 10 miles from Morton to Eureka.

On a side note, we are approaching 700 competitors and we posted a picture of one of our first Limited Edition Fundraiser discs we are releasing: CT Magnet - this disc actually came about from CT Challengers that were sent to regrind because they were too heavy to be released. They are a 5-chain Magnet as well, so we are excited about that. The rest of the discs we are releasing April 1st include a Z Glo Zone, CT Glo Challenger and a Ti Crank SS.
