A big thank you to everyone who played on Saturday! We had 85 players (69 men, 16 women), topping our season opener of 82 players from last year. We had amazing weather for early March for the second year in a row. The men averaged 6.83 points per player, the women 3.88. Last year those averages were 5.33 and 2.22 in the first round 1, so congratulations on upping your game! Scores should be slightly higher overall this year now that chain hits are worth 3 points instead of 2...but I think it's just that you are all better disc golfers this year, right? I'll post aces after I get new email addresses.

Happy SpAce Race Eve! No more caffeine for the rest of the day so you can hopefully fall asleep tonight, lol.

Before this season kicks off, let me go over the financials of the buy in and where the money is going to. If you select a premium plastic (star equivalents) disc your buy in is 25$, with a champ style plastic 24$, and a base plastic 22$. Prodigy base is 23$. 12$ of each buy in goes to the prize pool. What that means is that I'm making 3$ profit off of each entry this year. That's not much for what I put into it, and is less than my cut from last year. I'm making my cut smaller this year because I won't be replenishing stock throughout the year. As I no longer am running an online store I don't need the inventory I carry any more, so this year will be for reducing it, which is why I'm making the buy in a better value. I still have a ton of discs, don't worry, you will be able to get something good all year, lol.

For the 12$ going toward the prize pool here is the breakdown:
1$ double ace pot (same as last year).
75 cents season awards (25 cents less than last year), which will be for trophies with the rest going to cash payouts for the different category winners and some of the main category winners. It's not going to be a lot of $ for the winners at the end, which I am fine with, because if you are top 10 at the end of the season you made $ during the season's rounds. I will probably do larger trophies for the #1 Male and Female finishers this year as well.
25 cents for the new bounties (explained before round). New feature.
1.5$ for the side categories (up from 1$ last year). These will be paid in cash, not scrip this year.
8.5$ for the main metal and ace category (50 cents less than last year). A small decrease here to help cover the bump to side category payouts.

THE DINNER BELL WILL NOT RING. Not enough people interested in the dinner so we're scratching it for Round #1. We'll have everyone vote on their scorecard Saturday as to whether they'll want to have dinner added into the buyin as part of the tournament each time. We'll either do it for everyone that signs up or not at all, to simply it. 2 DAYSSSSS!

This year we'll be adding an optional random draw plastic match to the SpAce Race! For the men we'll have 2 divisions -- advanced+ and intermediate. The women will have one division. As you'll be getting a player pack disc from inventory every round, this will be a chance to double or nothing it right away. If you don't want to risk your disc, no problem, it's completely optional. The "Risk your Disc" (should I trademark that? lol) winners for each division will be those with the highest number of wins throughout the season. I will donate prizes and/or add a few more trophies from the season fund.
