This is not a PDGA or Oregon Series or Northwest Series event.  No PDGA card required, no non-PDGA fee assessed.  PDGA rules will apply.

 

Heated indoor facilities will be available!  Players’ meetings and awards ceremonies will be inside, where it’s warm and dry.

 

Plenty of free parking will be available.    Tri-Met info: Bus Route #1 “Vermont”

 

Ams: come play for fun and prizes!

Pros: show us how it’s done while you duke it out for the cash!

 

The field will be limited to 90 players.  Age sub-divisions such as Junior or Master will be formed only if three or more players request that sub-division.

 

We hope to install 12 WEATHERPROOF TEE PADS in the original permanent 12 tee boxes before this event.

 

Remember to sign up for the optional acepot, too.  It’s only a buck.   AccuSpeed has pledged to match every ace pot dollar with a dollar donation to Northwest Medical Teams!  If you get a hole-in-one, you take all the dollars.  If 2 players hit an ace, it will be split.  If a 3rd hits, s/he splits with the 2nd acer (1st ace hitter always keeps half the pot no matter what).  A 4th acer splits with the 3rd,a 5th with the 4th, etc.  If no one hits an ace, a one-shot CTP throwoff will determine the winner, with a lay-up line.  Any disc that is not entirely past the lay-up line (through the pin, perpendicular to line of play) is DQ’d from the throwoff.  Go for it!

 

 

Ice Bowl History

 

Disc golf is similar to golf (disc golfers call it "ball" or "stick" golf) in procedure, pace, and psychology. Instead of clubs and balls, disc golfers used specialized flying discs (smaller, heavier, and aerodynamically superior to the Frisbees used for playing catch). Instead of a cup, disc golf players "hole out" in a disc golf basket. Made of steel, it features a basket that is attached to a pole about two feet above the ground and has two chain assemblies above the basket which acts as a backboard that stops the disc's forward motion, causing it to drop into the basket. Disc golfers play the throw from where it lies, and count each throw as a point or "stroke" until the the disc lands in the basket or within the chains.

 

The first disc golf tournament called the "Ice Bowl" was held in January of 1987 at Albert-Oakland Park in Columbia, Missouri, USA.  It was an attempt to get some disc golfing activity going in the dead of winter.  The Sunday before the Super Bowl was chosen because it was (at that time) a football-free day, thus getting rid of the "I'm watching the game" excuse for not playing.  News releases were issued, and on the night before the Ice Bowl, it snowed five inches. The results were good as both 34 people and the media showed up.  There was a picture in the sports section of the Monday edition of the Columbia Daily Tribune-disc golf in Columbia got some free publicity. 

 

The first Ice Bowl was mentioned in the debut issue of Disc Golf World News (March, 1987), and since then, DGWN and Disc Golf World have promoted it.  The initial idea was to have everyone playing on the same day as an act of disc golf solidarity in the dead of winter.  Sun belt states were encouraged to participate for this reason and because of the irony.  Because some cities preferred holding their Ice Bowls on different weekends or on Saturdays and as was discovered by the central organizers that people were willing to travel for some disc golfing fun, even in January, an official "Ice Bowl Corridor," was created four years ago.  This year, it has been expanded to six weekends, with the Ice Bowl event for the National Capital Region slated for Saturday, February 9th. 

 

In 1993, Ice Bowl merchandise was introduced for the first time, and prizes for attendance, media coverage, photos, etc. were awarded.  In 1994, the Indianapolis Disc Golf Club introduced the idea of collecting food and raising money for its local food bank.  In 1996, fundraising for local food banks was made an important component of Ice Bowl, and disc golfers responded by providing over 5,500 meals.  In 1996, we set a modest goal of providing 10,000 meals, and ended up with nearly 59,500 meals.  In 1998, the goal was a still-modest 100,000 meals and we provided over 145,000 meals.  In 1999 we raised the bar quite high - 300,000 meals - figuring it was better to have a lofty goal even if it took more than one year to reach it.  We did well in 1999, providing 207,250 meals.  In 2000, the goal remained the same, and we still came in short with 284,928 meals.  Last year, the goal was 330,000 meals and we raised the equivalent of 317,000 meals. 

 

Due, in part to September 11, but also because several Ice Bowl TDs have previously chosen to support other worthy causes (Red Cross, Unicef, Meals on Wheels, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.), the worldwide charitable goal was changed to dollars this year, and the central organizers are counting donations to all legitimate charities.  That goal is US$51,000.  Last year over US$46,000 was raised by Ice Bowl tournaments.  Pounds of food that are raised will be converted to cash, with each pound of food having a cash value of about 13¢.  All proceeds from our Ice Bowl 2003 - Portland, OR will go to Northwest Medical Teams International.

 

The first Disc Golf Ice Bowl was held in 1987 as a day of disc golf solidarity in the gloom of winter. It is promoted by Disc Golf World News, the sport's leading disc golf magazine, which is published in Kansas City. Official Ice Bowls are played at courses all over the United States, and in Canada and Europe in a corridor which runs from January 12-February 18. Each event is encouraged to find a charity to support. The Ice Bowl goal for 2002 is to raise over $50,000. In 2001, nearly $46,000 was raised. Last year's leading fundraiser ($5,000) was the Houston Flying Disc Society. With 148 players, Kansas City was the best attended Ice Bowl in 2001, followed by Hattiesburg, Mississippi with 127. The worst weather Ice Bowl was in Winnipeg where there was 27 inches of snow on the ground with a temperature hovering near -5°.

 

Last year in KC, 148 players showed up to play on a nice 35° day and donated a record amount of $1,800 to. Harvesters. According to Ice Bowl director, Rick Rothstein, "Not knowing what the weather will be adds to the challenge of the event because the dedicated disc golfers don't want to be called 'wimps.' Disc golf is a lot of fun, quite challenging, and relatively inexpensive to play."

 

The rules of the Ice Bowl are simple: 1) Under no circumstances can an Ice Bowl be postponed or cancelled; 2) No wimps or whiners are allowed; and 3) There are no excuses for not attending. (Either be there or be a wimp!)
