Curse Current

Chris Fox shot 55 at Art Dye for a 909 round rating — 14 below his 923 — while the field averaged 53.2, and the arithmetic was merciless: tag #3 became tag #5. Nothing collapsed; 2.2 strokes over his own 52.8 average reads like a coin landing face-down, not a knight falling on his blade. The Curse Current was supposedly surfacing here as a side quest, and it never so much as left a wet footprint on the basket. Pocket Bargain week, and the bargain was his.

Chris Fox shot 50 at Art Dye for a 953 round rating — +30 over his 923 — and defended tag #3 without the Curse Current so much as leaving a wet footprint on the ledger. He came in 1.6 strokes under the 51.6 field average and 3.5 better than his own 53.5 mark, which on Mary Restored night reads like a knight who kept the vigil and pocketed nothing for it. No movement, no penance; the thing took this tag off him once already at Blade Drawn and has evidently decided the interest payments are sufficient.

Chris Fox carded a 49 at Baskets Moved for a 973 round rating — +48 over his 925 — on pin positions that relocated since anyone last memorized them, while the field averaged 52.6. That's 3.6 strokes ahead of the field and six clear of his own 55.0 personal average, and it moved him from tag #9 back to #3. The Curse Current stripped that tag off him at Blade Drawn in a 58; Friday night at Coin and Blade it handed the thing back with wet footprints on the basket and no apology. Six spots, one ledger squared.

Chris Fox's 58 produced an 866 round rating, -59 below his 925 rating, and a slide from tag #3 to #9. That was 5.1 strokes above the 52.9 field average and 4.5 above his 53.5 personal average; Blade Drawn's Curse Current has quite a ledger to carry forward.

Chris Fox shot a 53—one stroke below his 54.0 personal average and 0.3 strokes better than the 53.3 field average—yet slipped from tag #2 to #3. His 935 rating was +10 over rating, a solid showing; Dye Vigil’s ledger apparently counts tags more stubbornly than strokes.

Chris Fox carded a 54, right at his personal average, but the Curse Current is already dripping ink-like residue on the Art Dye baskets. A 54 in Amateur H Blue is a faithful start, though that green-black luminescence suggests the treaty is already leaking. He gained two spots to finish 2nd—movement for a vigil that just began. The Current hums its broken contracts near the chains, and Chris is just trying to keep his shoes dry. First sword drawn, first coin pocketed.
