OKTHROWBERFEST 2015 - DGCR'S 7TH ANNUAL DYE CONTEST - SPONSORS, VOTING LINKS, RESULTS

[BennettUA]

(This thread will be used to thank the many great sponsors of this year's Okthrowberfest, link to the voting poll, present the results, and display the payout through the end of the contest)


If I can ask one thing from this end, is to PLEASE support the sponsors of this year's competition. A truly jaw-dropping payout was made possible only by the graciousness of some of the best companies and people in this sport we love. Do let the following sponsors know that you appreciate their support of Okthrowberfest, and send them some business!

Premier sponsors in no particular order are as follows:





Dynamic Discs continued their incredible support of Okthrowberfest again this year --- a $100 DD gift card for the winner, and twenty gorgeous opaque white never stamped Fuzion discs! Felons, Escapes, Suspects, Judges, and Wardens! Be sure to support Jeremy Rusco, Eric McCabe, Clay Houser, and all the many great people with Dynamic Discs at all the tour stops they help make so excellent!





CommunityDiscs.com came through big, AGAIN, as a HUGE repeat sponsor! Justin put together an impressive package of 15 premium discs, a pair of dri-fit polos, a Golden Retriever, and a $10 gift certificate to EVERY entrant! Please show CommunityDiscs.com some thanks for their continued monumental support of Okthrowberfest!

HOLY CRAP those are some AWESOME donations!!!

good on Community Discs for $10 gift card to all participants



... weird to see donations from the big companies like Prodigy, Legacy, and Gateway ... but no Innova or Discraft?!?!?! You'd think they'd have some blanks they'd be willing to donate :\

 

[chambers]

I've casually followed Okthrowberfest, but had no idea the sponsors were so generous and prizes so plentiful. Incredible.

Holy Christ on a crutch! That's insane! Community Discs is most definitely getting some major love!

 

[Reniger]

And lets hear it for Bennett for organizing all of this!!! This has got to be a second full-time job for him for a couple months! (not to mention the other contests he organizes) I think that deserves more credit than sponsors!

You're the guy!

Thanks guys

This does become a lot like running a tournament --- garnering sponsors, getting everyone involved as far in advance as possible, only to have most show up day-of , trying to start on time but there's always someone who went to the wrong course , etc

In the end, it's a labor of love, and I DO love it. This is a truly unique event and no other dye contest comes close to the performance or the payout. I'm overjoyed with the growth and look forward to spending even more time on Okthrowberfest 2016 to really see what we can do!

I'm going to have to practice a TON and really up my game (then start my submitting in July) to have a prayer of cracking the top 10. Such amazing talent!

More sponsors to thank!

These packages came in a little late, but they made good and got them in, and they are EXCELLENT!

First off, thanks to sscarmana, both for his own personal donation of 4 never-stamped white Gateway discs,

and for helping secure and ship Gateway's from-the-factory donation! Some beautiful test(heavyweight) Wizards, gorgeous regular Wizards, a bottom-stamp Wizard, a STACK of Gateway decals, a PILE of minis and stash minis, and 16 custom Gateway bag pouches!

 

[BennettUA]

Last but certainly not least, one of our first pledged packages but got delayed in shipping came from the great crew in Cali at Legacy Discs ---- some truly collectible US Masters and USDGC stamped discs, a pair of Grinder Ghosts, and a brand new released, super-pearly Nemesis! Thanks again to Steve Valencia, all the Ricos and the great crew at Legacy for their continued support of Okthrowberfest!

 

[BennettUA]

Here's the final payout list! Not including many of the extras like minis, custom pouches, Trotter boxes, decals, and the like that will be distributed around to all the entrants, and the $10 gift certs from Community Discs to EACH participant, and the $100 gift cert from Dynamic Discs to the winner, and the $25 gift cert to Best Buy to second from discguy42!

Miscellaneous:

Please, PLEASE thank the sponsors! Their incredible support is what helps make Okthrowberfest THE HANDS DOWN BEST disc dyeing competition every year!

 

[BennettUA]

Emails have been sent to all the participants --- PLEASE check your emails and let me know an order on what prizes you'd like, and we can get these sent out ASAP!

 

[discguy42]

Bump!

 

[BennettUA]

Waiting on only 4 entrants to hear this wants lists, then we can get the payout finalized! If I don't hear back from them by mid-week, I'll just go random generator for them. Everyone else responded with their wants, and I'm truly grateful for taking the time and communicating with me.

 

[BennettUA]

Payout is FINISHED! Needless to say that took some time, patience, and caffeine to knock it out, but it's SET!

I won't post what each participant was rewarded until after the packages are received, for surprise's sake :hfive:; I will post a full layout of what went where after the goods are in the hands of the winners.

Now the fun part --- walking into the post office with a semi full of packages....:| This may actually take two days, as I need moarrrrr boxes....

 

[BennettUA]

Of course, I get a bunch of packages ready to be sent out, buy the postage online yesterday to ship today, get my car packed to head to the post office, and then realize that the post offices are closed today....
