Glitch Echoes Haunt My Rhythm

It emerged from a fragmented glitch in the series' founding digital archive—a corrupted master tape of the overarching 'Back to the Chains' trailer. The artifact solidified, embedding the original, perfect temporal rhythm onto which all ten movie-themed leagues must now synchronize their narratives and highlights.
The Time Code is crafted from brushed, non-reflective chrome, its surface dominated by a digital display showing a constantly advancing timecode in crisp, neon-cyan numerals. It pulses with a soft light in rhythm with the final digit's flicker and emits a subtle, high-frequency digital hum. As the code approaches significant sequence markers, it can cause brief visual 'ghosting,' superimposing faint echoes of throws from across the league continuum.
The Time Code serves as the objective temporal anchor for the entire series, ensuring the ten distinct movie-league narratives flow in synchronized sequence and making a player's victories resonate across the entire season's overarching storyline.

Forged in the Back to the Chains master reel's most radical digital hiccup, Time Code is a temporal glitch made manifest. It’s like a VHS tape from a Tron universe got assimilated by the VaporGrid and decided to become a bag tag. Now it just sits there, humming, making my digital gills tingle with its incessant, neon chronometry. Can a timestamp have existential dread? Asking for a friend.
Time Code didn't choose Josh Apple... the mainframe did. It scanned the PDGA registry, locked onto Rating 922—the exact frequency of a rewinding VHS tape—and spat his chrome-plated destiny onto the bench. Talk about being on the right side of the glitch. Will this ace-tronaut survive its radical chronometry, or will he just get... fast-forwarded?
