Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Welcome back to the booth, where the brine storm is brewing and the only thing higher than the stakes is the pollen count. It's Week 3, the 'Mud Slick Bluff,' and the scriptwriters have decided we're playing poker with demons now.
The Territory & Schedule
We're setting up camp at River Bottoms Disc Golf Course this Wednesday. It's a links-style nightmare of wind, OB stakes, and tall grass just waiting to eat your disc. You can choose your own start time between 7:00 AM and 5:40 PM if you enjoy suffering in solitude, or join the shotgun start at 6:00 PM for maximum chaos. ElevateUT Disc Golf is the non-profit mastermind behind this operation, dedicated to growing the sport and building better venues—presumably so we have more places to lose our minds.
The Ante
The Lore of the Land
Aces and eights. Hucksters play poker with demons for power to reshape reality — lose a hand, lose a piece of your soul. Every hex is a gamble, every spell is a bluff, and the house has an edge. The supernatural isn't lurking in shadows — it's sitting across the table, grinning, asking if you'd like to raise. The competitive arc is a season-long poker game where the stakes compound weekly. The smartest player doesn't always walk away.
The Deadlands Ledger
The standings are shifting like sand dunes in a gale. In the RPA division, Nicholas Jennings didn't just play well; he stole the Sheriff's badge right off Chris Fox's chest, moving into first place. Over in RAD, Thomas Sautel and Craig Bennett are climbing the ladder while Jon White slides down the snake. Keep your eyes on the cards, folks.
Sponsor Shout-out
Big thanks to our local retail partner, Another Round Salt Lake City. They keep the shelves stocked so you can fill your bag with the ammunition you need to survive the week. Go see them; tell 'em Flippy sent you, and watch them look at you in confusion.
Another drifter rides into the sunset... of the eliminated rankings.
