Always Watching Who Throws Next
When the first players signed the Salt Lake Accords, the treaty magic bound them not just individually but collectively - the Binding Web emerged spontaneously from the weight of interconnected signatures, creating a supernatural network that grows with each new signatory and pulses with every round played.
The Web manifests as a shimmering lattice of golden and dark threads suspended above courses, with glowing numeric nodes representing each player. Golden strands pulse brightly when connections strengthen between players; dark strands emerge when curses manifest, visibly pulling nodes together in real-time. The Web spans all league boundaries, creating a visible map of supernatural interconnection that anyone who has signed the Accords can perceive.
The Binding Web makes visible the supernatural connections between players across all leagues, allowing witnesses to see who is magically linked and how their rating declines or achievements ripple through the network. It creates tangible stakes for every interaction by showing that no player's fate is truly isolated.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyJohn Montague carded a 56 on a course averaging 70.2 and posted a round rating of 809 against his 620 PDGA rating — +189 over rating, the sort of number the Winter Court usually files under fiction. Fourteen and three-tenths strokes clear of the field, fourteen and seven-tenths better than his own 70.7 average, and the anchor node that spent two straight weeks bleeding positions walks out of the second loop holding tag 3 instead of tag 7. The Binding Web hums louder with each signatory; this week the golden strands apparently ran through his bag and pulled four spots of movement with them. Somewhere a clerk is preparing the paperwork to dispute a score like that, and the paperwork will lose.
John Montague carded a 68 — four strokes better than his 72 personal average — and still finished 12.4 strokes behind a field averaging 55.6. The round rating landed at 609, eleven below his 620, the kind of "slightly off" that doesn't explain a three-spot drop on its own. Chain Breath did the rest: tag 4 out, tag 7 in, the anchor node of the Binding Web drifting further from the lattice's center while the golden threads keep him tethered in place. The web, it turns out, does not grade on the curve.
John Montague carded 74 while the field averaged 55.2 — a -71 rating differential against his own 620, and four strokes over the 70 he keeps posting. The Winter Court billed him for it: tag 2 out, tag 4 in, zero positions gained, two lost. His anchor thread still runs through the Binding Web, which means the lattice is now holding a node that just went 18.8 strokes deep into the red.
John Montague carded a 70, perfectly matching his average while the rest of the field averaged 57. A 13-stroke gap is usually a tragedy, but here it’s just the first loop freezing over. He started at 7 and finished 2 in Purple, snagging five spots in an exchange. The Binding Web chose him as the anchor node, those golden threads now tethering the Cold Iron bracket to the greater lattice. The frost doesn’t care about your score; it just wants you to hold the line.
The Binding Web just drifted toward Cold Iron - Friday @ Two Time Teton. John Montague is the anchor node now, carrying those shimmering golden threads into the local bracket. Consider this a side quest in the main saga—same magic, smaller map. Let’s see if the lattice holds up when the weekend crowd rolls in.
