April 3-5 2009
A 3 day World Flying Disc Federation format distance event
Brought to you by Scientific Disc Golf
Location: The Ivanpah dry lake bed in the high desert of Primm, Nevada on the border
of California and Nevada, 44 miles from Las Vegas. Elevation: 2618 feet.
The elevation and weather combine to make this one of the premier sites in the world
for flying disc distance throwing. The World Flying Disc Federation currently lists 3
World records set at this site. This means you have an excellent chance (actually up to
45 excellent chances) of throwing your longest throw ever – maybe even a World
Record!
This area is home to Primm Valley Resorts and Casinos with casinos, entertainment and
theme park attractions such as the Desperado – one of the top 10 roller coasters in
North America.
Format
Qualifying Round: Friday 4PM until sunset. Throwing in groups of 1 or 2. Three sets of
five throws. This round is not mandatory if there are less than 15 throwers in your
division. Longest throw used to seed players for subsequent rounds.
Semi-final round: Saturday 10 AM until sunset. Top 15 seeded throwers in each division
in groups of one or two. Highest seeded throwers get first choice on throwing times. 3
sets of 5 throws.
Final round: Sunday morning till noon. Top 5 longest throwers from each division in
groups of one or two. Otherwise as in semi-finals. Any competitor not in the finals and
with a throw in the competition within 100 feet of a world record may make an
individual record attempt on Sunday.
All of a participant’s longest official throws per set in all 3 rounds will be measured
and will be eligible as possible world records.
Divisions per WFDF outdoor distance record table
Discs per WFDF rules article I.
Awards
Awards to be determined based on entries and sponsorship. At a minimum, Olympic
style medals will be awarded to the top 3 places in each division.

Entry fee is $30 for all participants. Enter via paypal here, or send

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS RECEIVED by March 31st 2009. No day of event entries.
Update 3/30/09
We will meet Friday afternoon. I will be available all day (My plane arrives
Thursday night) Since there are not too many entries I can probably
accommodate everyone's schedule.
We'll have a group meeting at Whiskey Pete's at 3PM on Friday in front of the
front entrance where we met last year for anyone wishing to throw friday.
Anyone who wants to throw before this for their qualifying round can contact me
by email or cell phone 336 259-0382. Anyone arriving late can likely meet us
on the lake bed or call me on the cell phone.
We will meet at 10 AM on Saturday at the same place. If everyone is there on
Friday we might just change the meeting place to the lake bed for Sat AM
Sunday my plane leaves from Vegas at 2:30 PM. That gives us to 11AM or so to
complete things. Considering the small number involved that should be plenty of
time if we start at 9AM or so.
Schedule:
Friday 3 PM - Meet in front of Whiskey Pete's (not mandatory if you can't be
there till Sat.)
Sat 10 AM - Meet in front of Whiskey Pete's (possibly the lake bed)

Update 3/11/09
Hi everyone,
Those of you who have expressed interest but have not yet entered please let me
know ASAP if you plan on attending or not. I am making trophies 1st thu 3rd for each
division so I suspect everyone will likely get a trophy. I am also having nice Dri-fit
shirts embroidered for everyone. Please let me know your shirt size
There have been some questions regarding special Bosses from Innova. The number of
entries has not justified a run of discs and since I do not work for Innova, I cannot do
a midnight run etc. Having said that, Marc Molnar has been EXTREMELY helpful in
assisting me with permits,equipment, advice, etc
We will meet Friday afternoon. I will be available all day (My plane arrives Thursday
night) Since there are not too many entries I can probably accommodate everyone's
schedule.
I'm thinking of having group meeting at Whiskey Pete's at 3PM on Friday in front of
the front entrance where we met last year. Anyone who wants to throw before this for
their qualifying round can contact me by email or cell phone 336 259-0382. Anyone
arriving late can likely meet us on the lake bed or call me on the cell phone.
We can meet at 10 AM on Saturday at the same place. If everyone is there on Friday
we might just change the meeting place to the lake bed for Sat AM
Sunday my plane leaves from Vegas at 2:30 PM. That gives us to 11AM or so to
complete things. Considering the small number involved that should be plenty of time if
