About this tournament

The MVP Space Race is back! The Space Race is designed to be a nighttime ace race event featuring a two disc player pack from the industry leader in glow technology. This year's discs are the Axiom Total Eclipse Crave and the all-new Streamline Eclipse Range!


REGISTRATION:
- Registration is $40 (plus applicable taxes & fees) for all participants. Only 48 spots available.


PLAYER PACKS:
- All participants will receive the 2024 MVP Space Race player pack which consists of two limited edition glow-in-the-dark discs from your favorite MVP brands!
- Preview and learn more about the two discs by checking out the pictures posted on the registration page.
- You may choose to add on the limited-edition Watermelon Proton Pitch as well as MVP's compact UV flashlight for charging up your glow discs. (Please note that you will not be allowed to use the Watermelon Pitch during the tournament.)


FORMAT:
- This is an Ace Race - the goal is to get an ace (hole-in-one).
- Unlike traditional disc golf play, you will only throw from the tee in order to score the most points (see scoring below).
- We will play one round of 18 holes.
- You may only throw the two discs included in your player pack, the Crave and the Range.
- You will be allowed two consecutive throws off the tee pad for each hole (one throw with the Crave and one throw with the Range).
- Add together the scores from your Crave throw and Range throw to get your total score for the hole.



SCORING:
Points will be awarded as follows:

ACE = 100 points
CHAIN HIT = 50 points
METAL HIT = 20 point

TAP-IN BONUS = 1 point
(After throwing both discs off the tee, proceed to your better lie and attempt a putt. If you make it in the basket, add one additional point to your score. If you miss, add nothing and proceed to the next hole.)

Highest score wins!



COURSE:
- Oxbow Falls can be a physically challenging course. Please wear appropriate footwear and plan for a hike rather than a walk in the park.
- We are doing our best to make the layout efficient and limit long walks between holes.
- A map will be provided to help navigate the course and short tee positions. There will also be flags and markers along the course.
- If you plan to play in the dark, bring a flashlight!! The trails will be very dark!
- A few UV lights will be available to borrow if needed (one per card - first come, first serve).
- Disc lights will be permitted.
- Baskets will be lit up with LEDs.

5:00pm – 7:00pm: Potluck dinner. Feel free to bring a dish or snack to pass and hang out before/after your round!
10:30pm – 10:45pm: Prizes! If you win a prize but aren’t able to stay through the end, I’ll reach out to make arrangements to get your prize to you!
11:00pm: We have special permission to be at the park after dark only until 11:00pm, please plan accordingly.
