Tim, I remember earlier on in the year where we were both considering scrapping our plans for continued Ace Races. I must admit I'm feeling the stress again (deadline was Friday, but of course the late ones trickle in for a few days afterwards, and I actually had someone send back JUST the registration form, no money, no advance notice like, "Hey, I can't pay you right now, but could you hold a spot?"), but this will be the first year I've actually had volunteers to help, so I'm not going to have to take care of everything. I've definitely invested a buttload more personal money this year than I ever have before, well over $500, but I'm pretty sure I'll break even on the Ace Revenge.
I was kicking around the idea of doing an Ace Tour, a series of NE and Central WI ace-themed events over the span of a few months, points accumulation with prizes for most points at the end of the tour ...but that's still an idea on the back-burner for now.
I might shy away from the Discraft event last year, unless Gateway wants to piggyback on the Ace Race with my Ace Revenge format (Dave Mac said it sounded pretty awesome when I described to him what I was doing and wondered aloud about doing a similar event, but making it much more affordable for the TDs). We'll see, but just remember where you heard "Ace Revenge" first!
