WHO: Open to all level of players (3 divisions available)
WHAT: 1 round of 27 holes

Payment can be made by credit card (merchant fees apply) or by direct deposit (no fees). If paying by direct deposit, registration only finalised after payment received.
HOW DOES THE EVENT WORK?
- The aim of the Ace Attack is to score as many aces as possible from 54 throws total.
- Players are limited to carrying the same 3 discs for the entire round. If you lose a disc, it cannot be replaced. So choose your 3 discs wisely.
- All players start at hole 1 and play 27 holes in order.
- There is no out-of-bounds (OB) and no mandos to worry about.
- Holes range in length from 20 to 43 metres, making them all “aceable” for any level of player.
- A single wooden tee block marks each tee – treat as a lie, i.e., stance must be in contact with 30×20 cm area behind tee when throwing.
- Players tee off, throwing 2 discs each (one after the other) as per order on the group’s card.
- There are no restrictions on how the disc is thrown – but must be PDGA legal.
- An ace (5 points) is when the disc is thrown from the tee and comes to rest supported by the chains or tray (including wedged in the side of the tray).
- Players will also score if they hit chains (2 points) or any other piece of metal (1 point), i.e., top band, tray or pole. It will be a group decision on awarding a metal hit.
- Scoring will be in DiscGolfMetrix with 5 points for an ace, 2 points for chains and 1 point for any other part of the basket. If you score points with both discs on the same hole you will also receive 1 extra bonus point.
- After all players in the group have thrown their two shots, players pick up their discs and the group move directly to the next tee.
- Players are not permitted to play out the hole. A player who breaks this rule will receive a warning for the first infringement and a “-1 point” for each subsequent infringement.
- The playing order on each tee will rotate. The first player to throw on hole 1 will now throw last on hole 2 and the player who teed off second on hole 1 will throw first on hole 2. All other players will move up the throwing order 1 spot.
- The event winner will be the player who scores the most points.
- In the event of a tie for any prize position, tie will be broken by CTP (hole 6 white).
