Facts about the 2009 AceRace for Metro Detroit
There's already an Ace Race in the local area(Troy, MI) on Sept 12th.......
Local club that is running it is:

Civic Center is a great place for an AceRace, and has hosted in the past, but the section of the park where the course is located is too small for the number of participants the event draws, with little room for extra baskets. Event has been held at Raintree Park for several years running at this point.
I play in Motor City Chain Gang's weekly league, and have spoken to the Tournament Director about the AceRace at Raintree on the 12th:
1) Raintree isn't far from Civic Center (15 miles, 20 min, mostly highway).
2) Course was redone a couple of years ago: baskets
are in good shape.
3) Raintree will be "modifed" for the AceRace. Some or all of the 9 existing baskets will be used, but not necessarily from the tee pad for that hole. Extra baskets will be brought in, and all the holes should be reasonable for aces (no 250-300 footers). TD specifically says he wants to keep it fair so the ladies can have a good time too.
4) Tourney consists of 2 rounds of 18 holes, normal Ace Race rules:
- 1 throw per player per hole
- Aces and Metal hits are recorded on card
- Most Aces wins, metal hits used as a tie-breaker
5) Registration info:
$25 per player = 2 prototype discs, 1 hat, and 1 mini disc
$30 for those who register on the day of the event.
Registration begins at 11:00 a.m. - 11:50 a.m.
Event immediately follows...

You can register online with Credit Card, via e-mail w/credit card, by phone, or in person the day of. The TD is a stand up guy and does a good job handling events.
I'll be the guy wearing the ABSOLUT hat - hope to see you there!
