What is Ace Race like from the player's perspective? See lots of photos and an in-depth article written about the Memphis Ace Race.
2008 Ace Race Prototype Disc
This is it: It's a zippy, small-diameter midrange. Slightly overstable with great glide... think Buzzz Junior. Will hold a line in a moderate headwind, but isn't crazy overstable or too tough to handle at slow speeds or in calm conditions.
Everyone competing in the 2008 Ace Race will receive two of these new Discraft prototypes in their player's package. Have fun... it's going to be a riot!
Ace Race Info For Players
When: August, September and October. Check the calendar for the Ace Race in your area... or run your own ace race! To run an event, see more info below.
Format: Two rounds of 18 holes, one throw per hole per player.
Course layout: Holes are generally between 180 and 250 feet (55 to 75 meters).
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.
To sign up: Contact your local Ace Race Tournament Director from the calendar on this page.
Ace Race Info For Event Directors
Event window: Your event must be scheduled in August, September or October. The earlier you schedule, the sooner you can begin to promote your Ace Race and build your field of players. The rules are simple, so no previous experience as a TD is required.
TD package: In addition to player packages and the grand prize, you will also receive an event banner and tee flags to shorten holes as needed. Promotional posters are also included, along with downloadable sign-up sheets, scorecards and more.
Full details: Visit the Ace Race TD FAQ page.
To register an event:
Fill out the online registration form.
Additional prizes for top Ace Races: The top three events with the most players win a free Chainstar basket! See TD FAQ for more info.
Mix Up Your League Night:
Does your club run a weeknight league? Pick a week and make it an Ace Race! Your players will love the one-time format change, and it's a great way to bring new players out to recruit into your regular ranks.
