The 2018 format will mimic that used last year, with each participant playing three temporary courses at the Wild Horse Golf Course. The facility offers ample room for three premier course designs, a large warm up area, an indoor vending area, space for an outdoor Fly Mart and Player’s Party, and an area for many extra-curricular activities. (See pages 9 & 10 for a schedule of events, pages 13 & 14 for event activities, and pages 41 & 42 for an overall map. The prior page as a detailed map of Tournament Central.) The ≈570 participants will play each of the three courses once, with the top 40% of each division playing a fourth round in the Sunday finals. (Note this quantity was 50% in prior years.) Each player is also automatically included in the daily $100 longest hole-in- one, per course, contest, and numerous closest-to-the-pin contests. The LVC was designed for all participants in mind. Some holes are long, some are short; some are easy, some are not; some have sand traps and greens in the fairway, some are wide open; some have baskets on hill tops, some have easy putting areas; some are played in dirt, and some have a lot of water hazard – so hopefully there is a little of something for everyone. Since many participants want to compare their playing abilities to others, especially the touring professionals, everyone will use the same teeing areas and playing the same courses. This structure keeps the event simple to manage. The course layouts and schedule were established and available to review well before the event, so everyone knew what they were going to play. Endless volunteer hours will be spent preparing and running the LVC, with an aim that everyone will enjoy themselves. So we kindly request that everyone be courteous to all participants, sponsors, spectators, and volunteers. Remember - The LVC is an event for the masses. 2 Innova Champion Discs Innova Sponsorship History 2018 - $88,900 plus endless hours of staff support 2017 - $66,000 2016 - $52,100 2015 - $28,000 2014 - $15,350 2013 - $10,850 2012 - $6,650 2011 - $4,950 2010 - $5,700 2009 - $6,850 2008 - $7,000 2007 - $3,500 2006 - $5,000 2005 - $2,000 2004 - $2,100 2003 - $1,000 2002 - $850 2001 - $200 Total - $307,000 2018 - $44,250 Title Support, $6,000 Media Support, $5,500 Basket Support, $5,250 Innova- Centric Support, $5,000 Tee Pad Support, $5,000 Opening Ceremony Support, $5,040 Signage Support, $4,400 LLC CFR Sales, $4,000 Oklahoma/Texas Staff Support, $2,210 Support Package, $1,000 Web Support, $900 LVDGC CFR Sales, $400 Sales Support; 2017 - $36,100 Title Support, $6,500 Media Support, $6,300 Basket/Course Support, $5,250 Innova-Centric Support, $4,350 LLC CFR Sales, $3,000 Banquet Support, $1,800 Support Package, $1,000 Skins Support, $900 Commission Support, $650 Aces & Ales CFR Sales, $380 LVDGC CFR Sales; 2016 - $23,900 Title Support, $7,950 Basket Support, $5,850 LVDGC CFR & Special Sales, $5,000 DGV CFR Sales, $4,000 Media Support, $3,700 Innova- Centric Support, $1,700 Support Package; 2015 - $19,900 Title Support, $2,600 Innova-Centric Support, $2,300 LVDGC CFR Sales, $1,600 DGV CFR Sales, $1,600 Support Package; 2014 - $7,000 DGV CFR Sales, $4,050 LVDGC CFR Sales, $2,500 Innova-Centric Support, $1,800 Support Package; 2013 - $4,450 LVDGC CFR Sales, $2,800 DGV CFR Sales, $2,000 Innova-Centric Support, $1,600 Support Package; 2012 - $5,000 LVDGC CFR Sales & $1,650 Support Package; 2011 - $3,500 LVDGC CFR Sales & $1,450 Support Package; 2010 - $4,400 LVDGC CFR Sales & $1,300 Support Package; 2009 - $3,350 DGV CFR Sales, $2,500 LVDGC CFR Sales, $1,000 Support Package; 2008 - $5,000 DGV CFR Sales, $1,000 LVDGC CFR Sales, $1,000 Support Package; 2007 - $2,500 LVDGC CFR Sales & $1,000 Support Package; 2006 - $5,000 LVDGC CFR Sales; 2005 - $2,000 LVDGC CFR Sales; 2004 - $1,575 LVDGC CFR Sales & $525 Support Package; 2003 - $500 LVDGC CFR Sales & $500 Support Package; 2002 - $850 Support Package; 2001 - $200 Support Package. 3 adidas TERREX adidas TERREX Sponsorship History 2018 - $7,100 2017 - $19,000 Total - $26,000 2018 - $5,100 in Goods & $2,000 in Gift Cards; 2017 - $7,400 in Goods & $11,600 in Gift Cards 4 Welcome from Wild Horse Once again, the Wild Horse Golf Course, established in 1958, the only municipal golf course owned by the City of Henderson, is proud to host the 19th Annual Las Vegas Challenge disc golf tournament. After the success of last two events, improvements have been made to the two quasi-permanent disc golf courses on our property. Disc Golf play is still available year-round. Our 23-hole afternoon course, which incorporates four Course adidas TERREX holes and many Course Innova holes, is available for play in the afternoon. Our 23-hole morning course, with tee times available from sunrise to half-an-hour after sunrise, incorporates many Course adidas TERREX holes and Course DiscGolfValues.com holes. Wild Horse is only one of three golf courses in the region recognized by Audubon International as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary – so please be careful of our wildlife and their protected habitat. Please note the local rules listed on pages 25 & 26, some of which are extremely important to us. If you are interested in playing a round of ball golf at one of our other locations (see page 23) while visiting Las Vegas (at a LVC discounted rate, of course), please see staff in the Wild Horse Pro Shop. Good luck and enjoy!
