Prizes were awarded to the top 7 places. Due to a scoring error, we ended up shuffling a few things. We also had a throw-off for what at the time was thought to be 5th place. This was not needed due to the scoring error, by Tony Grady won the throw-off and was awarded a 2008 Ace Race disc anyway. Bert Kirby and Joe Noble were tied, but Bert left at the end of play, so Joe was awarded the 5th place and Bert 6th place. Joel Smith and Aaron MacArthur threw off for a tie to determine 3rd and 4th places. Joel hit the basket to win the tie. As tournament director, Joel would like to apologize for any confusion his scoring mistake caused. We hope everyone had a great time and want to thank everyone for coming out to make this our biggest Ace Race yet.
