Never played in an ace race...so does everyone use the same disc? I talked to a guy who said in an ace race he played, you go by points: 3 points for an ace, 2 for hitting chains or basket, and 1 for hitting the pole.

you talking about brooks #2
Yes its on a established course
All aces take precedent over metal shots. In the instance that there are no aces or a tied amount of aces you count the amount of metal shots.

I agree with this. New Disc, new route to the hole that you are not use to.
Maybe I just think that way because I have no aces and I'm playing my first Ace Race next week
I personally don't think I will come close to hitting one.

anyone familiar with the auburn hills mi area? like 45 minutes north of detroit straight up 75. This place would be perfect to hold an ace race event, it would be the equivalent to a par 3 ball golf course.all holes are between 80' and 200', ppl would get aces and it would be alot of fun. Oh btw ive only actually played the course 2 times through (because i like to drive ) and i hit one with my putter about a hundred feet out, also a couple of my friends play it every once in a while they have both hit one there. None of us three counted it as an ace tho...

I think with these situations I am leaning more to yes
It took two aces by one player to win the event at Calvert. There were three other players with an ace each.
I'd count the aces, but I must admit, if it were mine, I'd feel better about it if the ace came from the standard tee location, vice a shortened one which existed temporarily just for the ace race.

Just out of curiosity, what's the purpose of an ace race anyway? Is it a fund-raiser like the Ice Bowl or what?

I got one before the ace race while warming up. I did not count it, I even sold the disc.
By the way, I have never heard of people playing the course backwards, that would just be silly and does not even qualify for legit ace race hole rules.

Kind of...I mean if the director wants it be. Mostly it's just to go out, play some different holes specifically designed to have a lot of Ace Runs. Just to have some fun and hit aces.

You had the sweetest and longest ace by far, and it was from the only actual tee!

I've played a couple Ace Races and they are a lot of fun. Personally, I never really thought of the aces I hit as "real" aces. And that's because it's not really a round of golf to me - it's just a single shot at the basket. Make it or not, you move on to the next hole. It's a good time out on a disc golf course, but it's not really disc golf.
Hit three aces last year, but another guy hit four. Drats!
I've heard the Ace Race discs are basically Wizard clones this year, so I'm looking forward to the local one here.

That helps me out a lot. Now I can go throw my Wizard around to get ready for the Ace Race that I just signed up for.
Based on what I have read about the events, they are really just a way to get more people playing Disc Golf.
I will probably count my Aces, if I get any. They come in a round, albeit a round with weird rules on shortened holes. But it is still a round and it still went in in one shot.
