WAFDA is very proud to hold another Ice Bowl at historic Tilles Park, featuring an expanded from 9 hole to 18 hole layout

This will be very similar to the layout played in 2008

Saturday is our "Traditional Disc Golf" format

On Sunday for those that want we'll have a completely separate Super Class event (probably just the original 9 hole layout)

Both of the Tilles events are PDGA sanctioned, due to the charitable aspect of these events there will be no $10 "Non-Member Fee" and all PDGA player fees will be donated to charity, these rounds will not receive "Ratings" due to mulligans being sold for charity, Current PDGA members will receive points.

In 2009 WAFDA raised $3,050 and several hundred pounds of food for charity with our Ice Bowl endeavors. We hope to raise that bar even higher this year. Our charity for the Tilles events is the Community Services Clearinghouse which is a large Food Bank serving Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. The money raised is earmarked for the Backpacks for Kids Program which sends children home with food for the weekend that may not be provided good nutrition otherwise

Ten Dollars from every entry, all mulligan and raffle proceeds, donations and ALL profit made from amateur merch payouts and additional merchandise sales will go directly to the charity. The remaining portions of the entry will go to a traditional PDGA payout back to the players

While it is true that most food banks can use cash vs. can goods due to their wholesale buying abilities I feel that this is still a good venue to accept food donations, many of us have food in the kitchen that we may not really need so feel free to donate, those that bring 10 or more non-perishable food items will recieve an Ice Bowl disc as thanks

The money used to buy these "food for plastic" discs comes from outside sponsorship

This is another area that players can help with:

For $25 you may sponsor a hole, if we go over 18 sponsors I'll allow double, triple, whatever sponsorships - after around $350ish all further proceeds help the charity - I have a little bit of local sponsorship from area businesses but you - the players would really help, it could be for your business or where you work (tax deductible advertising) or you could have fun and smack talk your favorite adversary

Another area we can use help in is merchandise to boost the Raffle, CTP's, perhaps a Ring of Fire or even payouts

We'll have a good selection of Ice Bowl Discs from several manufacturers and plastic types plus some clothing for am payouts and for sale also

We'd like to encourage everyone to support as many Ice Bowl events that you can, play 1 or play em' all, all for fun and a great cause, feeding the hungry.....we'll see ya on the courses!!

Do you need me to bring baskets down for the Ice Bowls? Or amongst all of the River Valley DG are there 9 extra baskets? Do you need them for one day or for both?

I have 10 baskets committed, around 4 from here, 6 from NW Ark., trying to
stay with more quality baskets and no in-steps/travellers

More than likely we'll just go with the 18 hole layout on Saturday and original 9 for Super Class,
I may expand the Super Class a few holes but not super necessary except for fun,
you know if we break 10 people for Super Class it would be a record ;)

Heath, I'll probably be making a trip up there to haul a couple of baskets if you wind up needing me to haul yours
