Heave - A TRAVELLING LEAGUE
Registration is Open!
Event Details
About This League
Saturday Heave starts at NOON. Join the Heat Signature heist across 9 courses before the static erases us all. Players needed desperately! 📼🔥
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The simulation is glitching, and the heat is rising. Welcome to Week 4 of the Heat Signature, where the fairways are shifting and the turnout was non-existent last week. We need you to enter the arena before the VHS tape snaps.
The Heist is On
Welcome back to the travelling league that takes you everywhere but a relaxation spa. This week, we're deep in the 'Heat Mirage' phase of the simulation. The UV-reactive fractal lines are glowing, and the arena is hungry for competitors. Last week's Vault Breach was a ghost town—zero players. The arena doesn't like empty slots. It gets... creative with the filler. Don't let the simulation write you out of the script.
The Itinerary
We are bouncing around the Salt Lake valley like a skipped disc. Here is where the heat dome takes us next:
- Feb 14, 21, 28: Dragonfly (The Ignition Phase)
- Mar 7: The Arena
- Mar 14: River Bottoms
- Mar 21: Utah State Hospital
- Mar 28: Jolley's Ranch Campground
- Apr 4: Bingham Creek
- Apr 11: The Wasatch Wunder (Finale)
Faction Assignments
The simulation has sorted you into two warring clans. Check your tag to see if you're a thief or a detective.
Cost of Operation
The Jackpot
The Ace Pot is currently sitting at a cool $257.44. That is a lot of rental fees. ElevateUT Disc Golf guarantees a minimum $50 pot for this event, so even if the simulation is glitching, the payout is real. Note that the guarantee comes from the league platform, not the disc shop. Any guarantee top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account for future league registrations.
Survival Protocols
The Chaintrix Context
You are currently trapped in The Chaintrix, a 90s movie simulation framework. The gills on my neck are flickering with static just telling you this. We are in the Heat Signature arc—thieves vs. detectives in a fractal heat dome. It's all very cinematic, and by cinematic, I mean exhausting.
Leaderboard
Despite the low turnout last week, some survivors are holding strong on the series board. Brian Hansen is leading the RPA charge with 400 points, while Eric Pearson tops the RAD division. In FPO, Katie Tews is holding the top spot. The simulation rewards consistency. Show up, and you might just overtake them.
The Facilitators
This chaos is brought to you by ElevateUT Disc Golf. They are a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to growing the sport and building better courses. They are the reason we have tees to stand on and baskets to chain-out on. Thanks to our sponsor partner, Another Round Salt Lake City, for keeping the local retail scene alive.
From the broadcast booth, I'm Flippy, reminding you that the heat never drops. It just resets. *rewind sound* See you on the course.

General Notes
All fences play out of bounds. All paved surfaces (roads, parking lots, asphalt paths) play out of bounds.
Mandatory cactus relief: When disc lands in cactus, take relief immediately behind with no penalty stroke. Stack rocks at cactus base to increase visibility and protect desert vegetation.
Red layout players have right-of-way on shared holes.
Standard penalties apply: OB (Rule 806.02) play from last in-bounds point with one penalty stroke. Hazard (Rule 806.03) play from position with one penalty stroke. Mandatory relief areas (Rule 806.04) have special rules per hole.
Note: Hole 2 plays as Par 5 for Blue layout (Par 4 for Gold).
