Results Illinois Casting Championships
In by email: Congrats all!
To all of the above.
Well the 2006 Illinois State Casting Tournament was a pretty darn good tournament even with some not so great conditions for the accuracy events on Sunday.
A special thanks to the club members (you know who you are) that chipped in to make it a success once more and of course to the out of Towner's that were a great help.
Once again we were strongly supported by casters from Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Indiana, Illinois & Kentucky.

****ON A SECOND NOTE****
The Toledo Club currently has two tournaments scheduled.
The first is the Michigan State Tournament which is scheduled for July 15th. & 16th.
The second is the Ohio State tournament which is scheduled for August 12th. & 13th.
VERY IMPORTANT: BOTH TOURNAMENTS WILL CAST DISTANCE ON SATURDAY & ACCURACY ON SUNDAY.
"THE ACA WEB PAGE HAS THE EVENTS IN REVERSE ORDER "WHICH IS "NOT" CORRECT"
HERE IS THE QUESTION FOR EVERYONE OUT THERE.
As you know we have had "FIVE" Midwest or Northern tournaments in the past 6 weeks which has been a lot of fun but also a "REEL" grind. Sorry but I just could not resist that "REEL" pun.
First we had the 2/day Kentucky Open, and then we had the two 2/day Canadian tournaments which for what ever reason are still being scheduled BACK TO BACK which sure doesn't help attendance by out of town travelers.
We then had the Great Lakes 2/day in Cinci and this past week we had the 2/day Ill. State in Chicago & Valparaiso In.
The Toledo club would like to know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you think you will be able to make either or both of these tournaments.
There is a chance that they may combine the two if it will make things easier for everyone.
So what do you think?
Michigan State on July 15th. & 16th. - DISTANCE SATURDAY - Toledo / Dundee
Ohio State on August 12th. & 13th. - DISTANCE SATURDAY - Toledo / Dundee
The National from July 31st. through August 5th. in Long Beach
And then Chicago's All American on August 26th. & 27th.
Thanks again to those that continue to patronize the Chicago club and the Toledo Club thanks you in advance for your quick response to the above questions regarding their upcoming tournaments.
Good Casting
John Seroczynski - Chicago
Frank Gralak - Toledo
