That is precisely the number the Rating Wraith has been circling Brine Court to collect, and instead it got starved: tag #15 to tag #1, fourteen rungs in a single round.

Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleBorn from the first player to check their rating mid-round at Creekside, their Rating Wraith now drifts between leagues, feeding on scorecard anxiety and the trembling hands of those who peek at UDisc before the 18th basket.
Translucent blue-white form with flickering numbers cascading like waterfall, trailing wisps of rating history that shift between 850 and 1000, cold to the touch but only for those who've recently submitted a round.
Haunts players who check ratings mid-round, manifesting as a chill and a sudden inability to read putts; can be appeased only by finishing the hole before checking numbers, or by accepting a bogey with grace.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyLuke Baczuk carded 61 at River Bottoms against a field averaging 56.8, and the rating came back 902 — 13 under his 915, which is precisely the flavor of unfinished scorecard the Rating Wraith commutes for. Tag #2 is now tag #15, a thirteen-rung slide on the week the treaty got physical and the white stakes apparently started charging tolls. The vibe says don't panic, and it has a point: 61 is exactly his personal average, so he didn't lose ground to himself — he just held still while the rest of the Court negotiated better water.
The Rating Wraith phases out of the main arc, numbers flickering toward a new subplot: Brine Court. Luke Baczuk just became the protagonist of this spinoff. The Wraith trails UDisc icons down the fairway, waiting to see if this side quest ends in glory or a statistical recalibration.
