Welcome to the 7th Annual BADGers Ice Bowl, benefiting the Meals on Wheels of Alamance County. With this being our 7th year, I hope we can make this a really special event for our charity and for the players. The impact we have made for the charities we have supported has been truly amazing, thanks to all of those past and present supporters of this one-day event!
'Here are some statistics of our past Ice Bowl events:
In 2016, our first Ice Bowl, we had 45 participants who raised $1,000 in cash and 181 pounds of food.
In 2017, we had 70 participants raising $1500 in cash, and 1911 pounds of food.
In 2018, our most successful year we had 60 participants raising $2018 in cash, and 1939 pounds of food.
In 2019, a literal wash-out due to flooding, we had 60 participants raising $1641 in cash, and 1450 pounds of food.
In 2020, the tournament location change, and scrambling due to Covid-19 we had 43 participants raising $960 in cash, and 1698 pounds of food.
In 2021, We raised over $1,800 and approximately 2,715 pounds of food!!!
That’s a total of $8,919 in cash and 9,894 pounds of food for charity!!!
Our Ice Bowl has led the Country in food raised in the past, and previously we were either 1st or 2nd in the state in cash raised. That is a HUGE testament to the disc golf family we have in the Burlington area. I’m hoping this year we can blow ALL those numbers out of the water.
As we have done in the past of this event, we will be allowing mulligans, one per hole. The cost of a single mulligan is 2 canned goods. So for two rounds, that would be 72 canned goods to allow a mulligan on each hole. This has been a tremendous success and we not only filled the food pantry at Meal on Wheels, but we also took up additional space of 3 other rooms in their building!
Entry fee this year is $30 with an included $5 ace pool. This is a trophy-only event, first place in each division will receive a trophy. If the ace pool is not hit, half will go to the charity and half will be awarded after a throw-off CTP/Ace Run by all participants after the second round. This year we also look to having a large amount of CTPs available, most of us have discs in bins sitting around, any donations to supplement for CTP prizes is most appreciated.
Thank you again for your continued support of this truly remarkable charity event.

That's part of the fun with Ice Bowls and tournaments in the winter.
It's the whole point of the ice bowl. It's part of their slogan- No whimps, Noe whiners
i hear ya. i'm just noticing tournaments all around DGS having their attendance drop so I'm assuming its due to mid 20s and lots of wind
