Just a reminder - Register by Feb. 14th to get the long sleeve dry fit t-shirt as part of your players pack. If you register after that, you'll still get a sweet players pack, but you won't get the t-shirt.

I caught lunch there during one of those other tournaments they helped sponsor.
Tasty stuff! Good on them for continuing to support disc golf.

I can't help but look at the Feb 28 forecast of -12, and wonder what the weather is going to be like on March 28.
I'm sure it'll be spring by then! Well.... mostly sure....

Holiday Inn's rate for First Flight players is $89 per night. Just mention First Flight when you reserve a room.
The TowneSuites by Mariott, and the Hollywood Hotel (by the Casino) are also sponsors of the tournament. I believe they are both offering similar deals. I encourage you to check each of them out.

Please remember that you MUST be a current PDGA member by tournament time, or you will not be allowed to play. If the PDGA doesn't show you as current, please bring proof of your membership renewal. If you are renewing any later than today, I would recommend keeping the email, or whatever proof you have so there will be no questions.
We have 25 spots remaining between the Rec, Nov, Woman's, and Jr. Divisions.
We have 38 spots remaining between the Adv, and Int divisions.

Ok, I've been debating between this even and the DD AM Championships in Texas that weekend...finally made a decision and registered, looks like I will be heading northeast! Hopefully the courses will be kind to a refugee from Kansas and the weather won't suck!
I found the Round Barn course on here, any info on the Channahon Community Park course? I couldn't find it listed under that name here...

Despite snowing a bit _again_ this morning (wintry mix... that or legit snow every day of spring so far!), our snow is _almost_ all melted here in Valparaiso, IN. About an hour east of the tournament site.
The ground here is pretty wet, with some mud.
Forecast for tomorrow looks like some more snow in the morning
But a high of 40.Sunday looks positively nice! Sunny, high of 55.
How do course conditions look for the tournament?
Best of luck!

I was out that way last weekend and there is no snow anywhere. Definitely muddy at Channy though. They just spread some mulch in the more muddy areas. Round Barn is actually in great shape. No snow and not too much mud.
