Ace Race tournament in October 11 at BenGeren!!!

Format:
Two rounds of 18 holes, one throw per hole per player.

Course layout:
Holes are generally between 180 and 250 feet

Entry fee: $25

Player package:
Two identical Discraft discs, plus a SuperColor mini and a Discraft hat. A $55 value!

Rules of play:
Players are required to use the player package discs, and only these discs. If a disc is lost, the player has the option of using the second disc from the package. Only one throw per player per hole. Groups of up to eight players are generally acceptable, depending on course, time of day and TD discretion. Each player should have their own scorecard and mark "A" for aces and "M" for holes on which they hit metal.

After all players in the group have thrown, discs are picked up and the group moves directly to the next tee. Players keep their scorecards for round two, using the next line on the card to record the round.


The player with the most aces after 36 holes is declared the winner. In case of ties, the number of metal hits is used as a tie breaker. If a tie persists, a closest to the pin contest is then used to determine the event winner.

Prize package:
Grand prize for each event is a Discraft merchandise package, including a bag and ten premium discs. Events are also encouraged to offer an optional cash side pot for those who wish to participate, which is divided proportionally among the number of aces and/or metal hits.

Pre-registration required prior to Sept.21

We're talking about probably 15 to 25 players throwing 36 times (hopefully more players, but I think that's a realistic number)

I started it at noon so it wouldn't interfere with the weekly mini. The time is subject to change if it is OK to cancel the mini. Right now, only two people have pre-registered and Sept 21 is the deadline to guarantee entry!! I have to make sure everyone gets a players pack and they suggest three weeks for delivery. I have the initial 15 players packs and the ones who pre-register get their choice of hat color, and disc color/weight on a first come/first serve basis. If you want the best choice, email me at [email protected] and I will send you a registration sheet.

I have 10 extra players packs so we can have up to 25 players. There will be sign-ups starting at 11:00 the day of the tournament or any time before at the minis.

Dang.. I wanna do it too, but I didn't see the pre-reg requirement until now. I wrote Terry an e-mail.. hope he gets it. I'll show up regardless and hope I can get in

right on, the packs have to be ordered 3 weeks in advance, DIScraft mandates a $25 entry fee, initial order is 15 disc min., cost is $18 plus shipping, must order in increments of 10 over that, it's real easy to order too many and take a loss

so we have enough for 25 packs, if you want in, contact Terry soon, last I heard, I think he had 16 commited players

[email protected]

we'll also have some extra prizes to do whatever with, guaranteed fun :cool:

Terry wrote me an e-mail earlier and he said there will be plenty... I'll just show up an hour early and get it taken care of that way I guess.

21 players (I think??), 3 aces, lots of metal

Tony Blanchard, Barry Joe and a lady from Russellville all hit aces, Tony and Barry Joe also had metal, went to a CTP and Tony won, he split the package and gave the Bag to Barry Joe and he now has a buch of new Discraft to learn to throw

good times, Thanks to Terry for running it :)

We played the Sat. morning mini from the short Ace Race tees, most stressful deuce or die round I've ever played
