Hey guys!
We are almost there! The quick of it...
What - 'Currie Space Race"
Where - At Currie Reservoir
When - 6:45-10ish
Why!? - Cause it's fun!
Things to remember!
- Bring your own UV light! If you have a few that others can borrow then we would be so grateful!
- Note on Headlamps - You may think this a good idea to look for discs. However we have found that it's better to let your eyes adapt to the dark. Feel free to bring them in case, but just know they can actually make things more tough!
- Music is encouraged! But be courteous to your card!
- Bring a towel to dry your discs (may not be needed)
Layout
I have attached the layout (red circle: hole teepad, red star: basket). We have produced a unique layout that has 19 holes! It largely follows the Currie layout and flow though we chop Currie Hole 8 into two holes using the middle pin position to make two holes. Please take some time to read it over and save the image to your phones for ease of reference though I will also have a printout for each card. Hope you like it! We will have tournament central close to the entrance when you enter Currie.
Cards and Prizing
We will be putting the cards together on site! Please keep that in mind. Also please make cards of 4 each and please be open to playing with some new faces. Once you have made your card then come up and we will assign you with a starting hole to be played shotgun style. We will also give your card a stack of 4 discs with your card. The winner of the card gets first choice of the discs, 2nd gets the next disc and so on.
Player Pack
Disc pickup will be at the event and we will have glow sticks for you as well!

Scoring
This Space race is a points one. You will throw each disc once (two total) for each hole.
1 Point - Circle One (Each card will be supplied with an (approximate) 12 foot rope to measure off the center pin)
2 Point - Hit metal
3 Point - Chain Out
5 Point - Ace
You will record the points on a paper scorecards that we will provide. Please list the people as first name and last name initial (e g. Luke G, Alex P etc).
Prizes
One awesome idea this Space Race is thanks to donations from Alex Penney and myself and also some very generous deals from Todd Kennedy at JK Discs (Todd will be at the event vending a small selection of their excellent stock, please give them your support) we will be giving every card a stack of 4 discs. The winner will get their first choice, second player gets the second choice, third gets third choice and the last person gets the remaining disc! So everyone will have a disc as a prize!
We will also be having some prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd that I will communicate later.
Thanks to a bunch of volunteers who have stepped up to help us setup and takedown :)
Thank you so much and let me know if you have any other questions on the Discgolfscene page in the forum there or ask during the player's meeting.
Cheers,
Luke
