Im in the same boat. For me it keeps telling me the varification code was incorrect. The code was in caps and I did it both ways and still didnt work.

[shawngeo]

Same problem keeps telling me its incorrect

[khinterberger]

It is case sensitive I have tried it both with IE and FireFox and was able to register. I will talk to the web designer about taking away matching case. When i used lower case it failed. I hit the back button and was able to use upper case.

If you cannot register on the website can you email me at krhinterberger@ verizon.net and just let me know you are attending so i can get a rough head count.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Karl

The Heros have arrived today. I will be posting a pick of the player packs shortly.



Here is a list of the Hero's that will be played for:

[khinterberger]

Everything is all set for tomorrow. Few notes about the course: Hole 2 pin is damaged and a temp catcher will be put in it's place for the tournament. Hole 3 pin is surrounded by mud. Hole 5, 6, and 7 are surrounded by puddles that are calf deep in spots. Hole 27 tee is completely underwater. If you have swampers, mudders, or waders you will want to wear them. The plus side is the water is not cold and the temperature tomorrow will be 70 and partly sunny.

See you all tomorrow for a fun day of disc golf.

[khinterberger]

The final tally is in. We will be donating $5,000 to the CSM Kirtchen Scholarship. Though our player participation was smaller than last years our sponsorship really stepped up. I would like to thank the class of 80 and 81 ROTC for their donation over $1500 as well as the Shaw family for donating $1000 in the name of their son SGT. Daniel Shaw who was killed in Iraq. I would also like to thank all the player who participated in this years event.

It was a rough weekend going up against the Chilli Cookout. I will be contacting the tournament directors of Chilli and Gonzo to try and organize a schedule for our three tournaments where we will not be competing with each other for players.

Another improvement that will be added to next years tournament is that I am tired of cooking hot dogs. Will will be adding Chiavetta's chicken dinner that will be included with the price of the tournament. Other idea's to draw in players are still in the works.

Thank you all for your support and see you next year where the slogan will be "Straighten up and fly right"

[shawngeo]
