It should all be finalized by the end of the week.

I will tell you that the Host Hotel will be the Westin.  I am working with them right now to get the price point for the Wide Open to mirror the Worlds in 2009.  I hope to have that finalized today to add to the registration form.

You are not alone in wanting this information!!

Prairie Center / Re: Any ideas to make Monday league more interesting?

« on: February 28, 2008, 01:26:54 PM »

NO GLOW!! Start early, if you can't make it a few weeks, then so be it.  All leagues have always had to start early initially to make up for daylight, and sometimes in the fall as well.

This is not the Monday 1/2 glow league, it is league, and I personally do not want to play league in glow form, unfair to those people that played my last few holes with light that I have to play at night.

And since Olathe is only 10 minutes from the workplace now, I plan on playing it, this and if Cliff Drive is moved to Saturday will make it good, but I will not attend if it is a Glow thing, I don't like to play glow, personal opinion, and I would not want a league to play glow that does not need to, it has been set for many years that we start at 5:30 the first month of leagues, then move it back as time allows.

My concern is that if we did it correctly we would be hosting close to 200-300 people.  Also I envision alcohol beverages at said event for some reason it comes to mind....a school may not want to have that type of activity on it, and I would rather not have a FUNd raiser where that was of concern.

Though initially I love the idea of Yates, it would be ideal for this type of event.

true dat, but would it be able to handle an influx of people all day long, would like to start and use staggered starts for something like this.  It could be a fast round, in under an hour you'd be done.

Payout?  Now its a tourney?  The goal of the ace race was to have fun, and discraft gives you a disc, I don't think that it has a payout component on it.  I still say Swope Shortest is the best place in town to do this at, and if we did it as a FUNd raiser for the worlds, come up with discs that you could get for this event only and then for $20 you get 2 discs, one to keep, one to play with......now that is something that I would run with...

They will also be replacing curbing and addressing some more of the park issues, this will take place hopefully throughout the spring.

Westin Crown Center will be the Host hotel for the 2009 Pro/Am Worlds.

www.crowncenter.com

Located in the heart of downtown Kansas City, Crown Center is often called a city within a city. Three levels of great shopping and dining compliment two of the city’s most luxurious hotels, exquisite office buildings, a residential community and several entertainment attractions. It all surrounds the worldwide headquarters of Hallmark Cards, Inc. Bring your family and your imagination for an unforgettable visit to Crown Center.


You will need to ask for the Disc Golf Rate (Kansas City Flying Disc Club or Disc Golf World Championships should suffice), the dates that we have blocked for the Hotel are from Sunday July 26 to Sunday August 02, 2009.

The Host hotel will have the following plus many more items of fun and entertainment as we get it all together:

Check In and registration

Players Meeting

Fly Mart

Tournament Central

PDGA (Banquet?) Awards

It is an awesome property, there is a mall connected, there is the museum across the street, and many other amenities.  Ask for the Disc Golf Rate during this time, I believe that you will all enjoy a high class of standard that will truly create an experience of WOW!

The room rate is $134 night for single or doubles, and suites are $350 and up.  The normal room rate right now for the property is $289/night, you will not be dissapointed.

Sign up now, and do not miss the chance to be a part of the best worlds ever.

More information will be provided as we move forward, I just wanted to get this information out for those that have asked.  Yes I have received about 10 calls already asking me about this information. 

Dates are set, hotel is set.

Logo
Courses
Schedule
Lunch
Weather

Many items still need to be worked on!

Watch this forum for more information on the planning stages!!

Thanks,

Jack
