Kellan Brooke shot 55 at Art Dye — 4.4 strokes clear of a 59.4 field average and three better than his own 58.0 — for an 890 round rating, +26 over his 864, and the Harsh Citation rode that arithmetic straight back to #1. Two weeks ago the parchment logged a -13 dip and a one-position demotion without sympathy; tonight it logged the bounce-back with the same flat tone, because no appeal process exists and this time he didn't need one. checks clipboard The tag glows brighter when the scorecard does the arguing, which is the closest thing to mercy this league offers.

Season Arc · Coin and Blade - Friday @ Art Dye Disc Golf Park
1All-In league: Harsh Citation stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe Harsh Citation was created when the original signatories of the Salt Lake Accords realized they needed a bureaucratic enforcement mechanism existing outside personal relationships. It was forged from the first fine ever issued under the treaty - a crumpled scorecard from the inaugural round that somehow absorbed the collective anxiety of all who have ever feared a rating drop.
The Harsh Citation normally exists as invisible pressure, manifesting as physical glowing summons paper only when delivered. It appears as parchment that seems to glow from within, covered in arcane bureaucratic stamps and seals that never fade. The text shifts and rewrites itself, always displaying the recipient's most recent infractions against the Accords. It requires no physical contact to appear, manifesting anywhere the Accords sense a player approaching threshold zones.
The Harsh Citation delivers formal warnings to players approaching curse thresholds while simultaneously tracking accumulated violations, determining when consequences become unavoidable. It serves as the legal bridge that transforms statistical decline into supernatural reality.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyKellan Brooke's first defense of the Harsh Citation ended at 60 — level with a field average of 60.0, four strokes above his own 56, and a round rating of 851 against an 864 rating. That's -13 below form, which the parchment records without sympathy and the tag ladder enforces without appeal: #1 to #2, a one-position demotion. The Citation has already moved on to its next jurisdiction, and somewhere in the tall grass a coin is quietly pleased with itself.
Kellan Brooke shot 56 at Art Dye, four strokes clear of the field average on a night the rest of the card averaged 60. The round rating came in at 880 against an 864 PDGA rating — a +16 differential, the quiet kind of flex that doesn't announce itself until the tag ladder does. That earned him the climb from #9 to #1, an eight-position jump, which means the Harsh Citation has found its new jurisdiction and he is now the one holding the paperwork. Mary Restored, mid-season slump and all — apparently the oversight corrected here was everyone else's scorecard.
Due to absence from Week 1 (Thirty Coins), tag number moved from 7 to 4. (Week 1 of 9)
The Harsh Citation has detached from the main arc, drifting toward a new jurisdiction. Kellan Brooke is the target in this spinoff: Coin and Blade Fridays at Art Dye. The parchment glows brighter, anticipating the infractions. It’s not a reboot; it’s just administrative business in a side quest.
