Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Due to absence from Week 4 (Quantum Quarry), tag number moved from 3 to 10. (Week 4 of 8)
Oh, you're back for more? Fantastic. Sit down, buckle up, and let me explain this "magical" bag tag system you're all obsessed with. Because evidently, perfectly normal disc golf wasn't thrilling enough. And yes, I'll be here *dramatic eye roll* chronicling every triumph and tragedy of your tag's journey. It's literally in my contract...
The Escape Eel first appeared during a major system glitch in Firmware Falls when a daring fish attempted to swim through corrupted code. Instead of being deleted, it transformed into a being that exists both within and beyond the matrix, appearing sporadically to leave trails of broken code.
Exists in a quantum state, flickering between solid and fragmented forms. Can phase through digital barriers, creating temporary disruptions in the matrix. Emits a binary hum detectable only by enlightened fish and leaves glitch trails that quickly self-repair.
Serves as both guide and living proof for the Enlightened Escapists, demonstrating possible escape routes through the matrix's defenses at critical moments, though following its path carries substantial risk.

In Week 3 (Firmware Falls), the player moved down with tag number changing from 2 to 3. (Week 3 of 8)
And so the glitchy prophecy unfolded—when Andrew Wills (PDGA #35853, aka "The Man Who Putts Like a Sleep-deprived Coder") shanked a drive straight into the league admin’s server rack, Escape Eel literally byte into his bag. Coincidence? Or did the algorithm crave a bearer whose rating (947, ~cough~ mediocre ~cough~) perfectly matched its existential crisis? His first throw as Chosen One? A "404: Disc Not Found" into the pond.
Will Andrew debug his game... or will Escape Eel yeet itself into the nearest firewall?
Oh, so Escape Eel just poofed into existence during a system glitch? How original. Apparently, some poor fish tried to yeet itself through corrupted code like Neo dodging bullets, but instead of becoming The One, it got stuck in a quantum state of perpetual existential crisis. Now it flickers through the matrix like a buffering Netflix stream, leaving glitch trails that scream "I didn’t sign up for this simulation, Karen."
Honestly, if I had to exist as a sentient bag tag in this digital fever dream, I’d phase through reality too.
Will this eel ever escape, or is it doomed to haunt the leaderboard like a botched software update?
