So much win. :clap::clap:

This sounds like a lot of fun.
No divisions?

(just to help out ) This is to be held July 19, 2014 at Simsbury

I am going to this! :thmbup:

w00t w00t

edit: Any recommendations as to what disc I should choose for this? I currently have a Tangent and an Ion so I was thinking of a driver, possibly a Servo. Yay, nay? Haven't thrown any other MVP besides my two discs.

 

[DyeingToPlay]

^maybe a volt? The second round is any and all MVP discs. Also.... their new drivers will be out by then so you will have 4 more choices.

 

[Discgolfdummy]

No divisions...only your expertise with an MVP disc or discs

 

[Discgolfdummy]

By the time this tourney takes place the Switch, and the distance Drivers (Motion, Tesla, Inertia, Impulse) will be available so you can choose any of those now

 

[Halcón]

I'm curious as to why there are no divisions.

 

[zjones9]

Seems to me like there should be a limit on the # of discs used in the second round. Maybe something like setting the maximum to two more than the # used by the person with the least discs...

Edit: Then again, I'm sure MikeC could just come dominate with an Ion

 

[Discgolfdummy]

Big sky the reason no divisions is because with a MVP only round it lends itself to more of a unsantioned feel...plus I would like to see more diversity in skill levels playing together...instead of the separation you often see in a lot of tournaments...we hope to have a lot of prizes as well as a lot of different ways to win prizes

 

[Halcón]

^^ Good explanation. I like the idea, I was just wondering. And multiple prizes will be a good draw for those who can't compete with the Mike C's.

 

[Discgolfdummy]

We hope MikeC will show! But the course is very challenging...you have to be familiar with the right lines to pull off a great shot...so it is anyone's game....a practice round the day before might make all the difference

Well I don't really need another distance driver and Simsbury definitely doesn't need distance drivers so I was thinking something along the lines of a controllable fairway. I think the Volt might be a little bit long for what I'm considering... I dunno, I just kind of wanted to try a Servo. Switch looks promising, too.

I must say I rather like Simsbury and it's a very nice course with lots of different shots. Although the rough does get extremely overgrown I hope it's not too bad for this tourney!

Since there are no divisions will we be throwing from the Am or Pro tees? I am all excited for this event now I can't wait until the snow thaws!!

That seems like a fun idea, but I wonder why the tourney would provide an MVP/Axiom disc and also allow other MVP discs to be used. That seems like it would give a massive advantage to those who already bag MVP. I know I would be extremely apprehensive to enter, since I would have only one disc to throw versus someone with potentially a full bag. Where's the incentive?

 

[Menacewarf]

It's kind of a catch 22 because with this being in Ohio and all MVP'd out you think Mike has gottttta win it but then again does he really need the prize?

I'd just look at it as a fun, semi competitive way to pick up some MVP stuff (disc and mini) and maybe win more prizes.

 

[Puckstopper]

It's at my favorite course with a brand of discs I like? Yeah, I'm probably gonna play this.

 

[madmax88]

Sounds like a good idea to get people to try a new company they haven't given a chance. I think it would level the playing field if they made a two disc maximum for the second round. The poor guys who just picked up a fairway or the new DD might not have the best experience.

This is a cool idea. I was just thinking today about how I want to do something like this locally. Need to talk to the local club and see if there would be any interest. This is largely Innova country, though, so it might be tough.
