All
The Raleigh Area Disc League has promoted women's disc golf for going on 25 years now. This year we would like to see a big turn out for this years Am Crosstown.

Here is the preliminary info.

This Is Not The Official Am Crosstown Flyer!

I hope to have the flyer out very soon. I still have to nail down the location for the Friday check in.

The "mail to" address will be released with the flyer. PayPal will be available TBA.

We hope to add payout to Adv Men and Adv Women. Let hear it ladies. Road trip?

Also, I'm trying to put a Saturday night players party together (RADL volunteers Please PM me) and maybe cash doubles on Friday afternoon- if there is any interest.

The basics...

This Is Not The Official Am Crosstown Flyer!
Again, when all details are nailed down, the official flyer will be released an registration can begin.

Thanks,
Craig

You can't please them all.

So, Richard and I have decided (again) to please as many as possible.

We'll do both. Friday night check in (location TBA) and Saturday at the courses.

We would recommend Friday night (for those who can make it) because your Saturday morning will be much smoother and you can redeem your voucher then. If you want to.

Saturday check in will end before the players meeting (exact time TBA). If you check in on Saturday you can redeem your voucher Sunday afternoon in Zebulon.

I hope to nail down the Friday night check in location (near Cedar Hills). Then I can rework the flyer and get it out to the area courses/TDs and posted here.

We'll also decide who will play where. Registration will close on March 1.

Thanks,
Craig

All,
Sponsorship is starting to come in. We have received a nice box of merchandise form Marshall Street Disc Golf and a heavy check from Precision Quartz Watch and Jewelry Repair.

The flyer should be out soon.

We have secured a motel for all who are in need.
Econolodge (http://www.econolodge.com/ires/en-US/html/HotelInfo?hotel=NC487)
The Econo lodge on Capital Blvd (at I-440) is offering rooms for up to four (4) people for $60.89 per night. This price is about $6 to $11 off the best rates I could find. Seems like a deal, especially for 4 people.
Details...
1 Nice third floor rooms- interior corridor entry and no one walking over your head.
2 No smoking only.
3 you must reserve with a credit card
4 When you call mention the Am Dogwood Crosstown (Frisbee) special.
5 You must make reservations by march 6.

Ok, now. Where's the chatter? Are the no women in NC, SC, VA, MD, TN or any of the other 45 states and Canada who want to compete for the women's Crosstown trophy? Or do they just not visit the DISCussion board? Or do they just not mention that they are going to play in the longest continuously held amateur only event in disc golf?

Craig :confused:

All,
When I was first was contacted by the representative of this property a did a quick search for reviews of this motel. The search showed reviews that were fair to good. I have since been informed that the majority of reviews tend to be poor.

From the rep.: "The property has a long history of drug dealers and prostitutes. I did not know this until after a drug raid recently
after reading a police report

Although I am very disappointed the owners have not fixed up the property-in their defense I don't believe they knew the extent of the problems when they took over the property. I was hired to bring in a better class of clients.
In the hotels defense they have hired an off duty cop for the weekends to try and keep a lid on things."

I cannot recommend this property at this time. If you have reservations here you should be able to cancel them. I you choose to stay here I hope that you have a good experience.
I apologize if this causes any disruption to your travel plans.

I will be searching for several moderately priced motels that will allow easy access to the highways that lead to both Zebulon and Cedar Hills.

If you have any recommendations please post them here.

Thanks,
Craig

We now have Jennah Adams #34696 from Hampton VA, Rebecca Filkins #32281 from Southern Pines, Dawn Geist #30543 from Sanford NC and Stephanie Greene #31027 from Charlotte.

Is there any one able to take on these women?
