This is the exact same weight range the River comes in. This gives me the impression that it is a very wide disc (diameter-wise, not rim wise), allowing for the extra weight by PDGA technical standards.

I'm a noob to ace races...do I have to be a pdga member to participate?

Why didn't Winston take advantage of me instead?

Awesome thanks. So you just use the one disc for the entire tournament right? Sorry for all the questions.

you get 2 copies of the ace race disc

you can use either one but you just get one throw per hole and then you move on. most aces win and some directors do giveaways for most metal hits as well.
Yeah if you already have a bag. As a noob without one it would have been nice. I do agree though think the water bottle is nice and better.

No, I was saying I thought it would be cool if they were allowed to reboot an old model name under a different mold, but I don't know if PDGA would be cool with that.
I thought I had one. Ran to the sterilites only to find that it was a vortex, not a tracer. Oldest disc I own.
Some events allow you to throw both discs, many around here do it that way so you get double the throws and more chances at aces. Last year the one I played had 25 holes, and 2 throws x 2 rounds so you got 100 shots total.

Fade Lite = $14.99 and holds almost twice as many discs if you're out for an el cheapo.
The bag's quality was on par with the baseball gloves they hand out in MLB stadiums on promotional days. Sure, you've got a baseball glove, but...
I've used the bag several times, either when I bring new players out or when I'm playing a local course and I want to carry 2-3 discs and a drink.

TDs have pretty free-reign with the format since everything is prepaid and nothing is official.
I think it's more fun that way, it's very little extra time in most cases, we just let players throw both their shots back to back. I think ace races are more fun when you have a bunch of people coming in with multiple aces rather than only a few getting hit throughout the day.
Yeah, Im sue the bag they give would be outgrown quickly anyway.
OT, sorry Ive looked at the fade lites and they have crossed my mind. Dont know how durable they are though. Im still deciding. I Like the nutsac too but for the price and only what 6 discs I'm not sure, though I doubt Ill be carrying more then that anytime soon. I assume too being made out of canvas they take a good beating too.
I'm definitely looking forward the the discs though for sure.

I have a Fade Lite, and it's holding up just fine. The canvas doesn't feel like it'll fall apart anytime soon.

Finally getting the pack announced has renewed my excitement as this will be my first Ace Race. And for them to essentially be fairway drivers, I'm pumped!
