The Baron's ledger is open, the Weber River toll is due, and only three contractors showed up to pay it last week. Welcome to the audit.
The Territory
Fort Buenaventura is not a casual Tuesday round. It's championship ground — the 2021 Pro Worlds site where James Conrad launched the single most iconic throw in disc golf history on Hole 18. It's also, according to the treaty, the most valuable real estate in the series. The Baron collects a toll at every Weber River crossing, and the ledger does not do refunds.
This is the one mortal league in a supernatural city. No wizards, no faeries, no vampire courts. Just a charcoal suit, a red tie, and the terrifying calm of someone who hired lawyers to read the Accords before signing. The menace isn't magic — it's competence. It's paperwork. It's knowing that your score from Week 2 is still in the books.
- 9 weeks of championship disc golf, all at The Fort
- Flex start Tuesdays, 7:00 AM – 5:20 PM — choose your card, pay your toll
- Two pools: Overspray Cartel (the fixers) and Red Ledger Block (the auditors)
- Bag tags are territory markers — moving up means taking ground
Terms of the Treaty
The Baron Is Listening
The terms are simple: sign the Accords, pay the $5.50 toll, throw plastic at chains, and keep your receipts. The Fort winds through dense cottonwoods with the Weber River as both scenery and hazard — tight gaps, technical fairways, and risk-reward crossings that will happily confiscate a disc. The Pro Worlds closing holes are treated like an audit: only precise accounting survives the back nine.
The river crossings aren't just obstacles — they're toll gates. Every errant shot into the water is a fee paid to the Weber. The enforcers don't need to be visible for you to know they're watching. The fort palisade stands as a reminder: this ground was settled, claimed, and now it's the Baron's. Play accordingly.
The Books
Standard rates. The Baron runs a legitimate operation — receipts available upon request. Thanks to ElevateUT Disc Golf for keeping the infrastructure standing as a 501(c)(3) dedicated to growing the sport and improving venues across Utah. And a nod to Disctracted, the local retail partner keeping bags stocked with plastic. Legitimate business, the kind that gets a respectful line in the ledger.
Ace Pot & Guarantees
The House Guarantees the Numbers
The ace pot is sitting at $148.41, and ElevateUT Disc Golf guarantees a $50 minimum payout. Don't be confused if the displayed pot looks 'stuck' at that number early on — that's just the guarantee holding the floor until weekly contributions push it higher. If a top-up is needed, the difference is credited to the winner's Bonus Account (registration-only, not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops). In other words: the Baron backs his numbers.
No aces last week. The chains remain unclaimed. The pot grows. Somewhere, a spreadsheet gets a little more interesting.
The Season's Episodes
Nine weeks, one course, zero mercy. The season arc reads like compliance training with better scenery: Terms Signed, Weber Toll, Ledger Open (this week), Fort Siege, Audit Check, Enforcer Watch, Settlement Found, Worlds Audit, Baron Collects. The final week is the settling of accounts — trophies handed out like notarized documents, books closed with a satisfying thud.
- Sep 15 – Nov 10, every Tuesday
- Week 3: The Ledger Open — mid-season accounting begins
- The Fort Buenaventura, Ogden, UT — 21 holes of championship history
- Flex start 7:00 AM – 5:20 PM; choose your own card
The Two Divisions of the Outfit
**Overspray Cartel** (RPA, RAH, RAD) operates in the margins — the fixers who navigate treacherous terrain where the ink bleeds and strict rules dissolve into the river. They're the ones scrambling out of the cottonwoods with mud on their shoes and a story for the scorecard.
**Red Ledger Block** (RAE, RAF, RAG) is the bureaucratic engine — order, precision, and the terrifying calm of a perfect audit. They treat the course as a balance sheet that must always settle. Their drives are on time. Their putts are on record.
One pool inks the deals. The other audits them. Both answer to the same red tie.
Current Ledger Entries
The books show Malachi Vazquez at the top of RPA with 50 points across 4 events — the model contractor. Chris Fox holds RAH with 49 points over 3 appearances, consistent and reliable. In RAE, Christopher Hamby leads with 43, but Nicholas Stosiek just climbed two spots on 41 points — someone's been balancing their books aggressively. Kent Moos tops RAD with 38 points, and in RAF, anthony Shirley holds the lead with 22. The audit is ongoing.
URGENT: The Ledger Needs Names
Last week, THREE contractors crossed the Weber River. Three. The average score was +11, which means the course won, the river collected its toll, and the ledger has a very thin entry for Week 2. The Baron does not like thin entries. He does not like understaffed toll booths. He does not like explaining to the other factions why the mortal league has fewer players than a book club. If you've been thinking about joining — this is the week. The books are open. The ink is wet. The Baron is waiting. Don't make him send an enforcer to remind you.
How to Sign the Accords
Show up any Tuesday between 7:00 AM and 5:20 PM, choose your card, pay the $5.50 toll, and throw. You don't need to be a fixer or an auditor to join — you just need to be willing to sign the terms and accept that the course will audit you back. The Fort is cart-friendly, dog-friendly (leash required), and lost-disc-friendly in the worst way. Bring your accuracy. Bring your patience. The river is hungry.
This is ElevateUT Disc Golf's turf — a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to growing the sport through better venues and better events. Every weekly entry keeps that mission rolling. You're not just paying a toll; you're funding the infrastructure. That's the kind of accounting even the Baron respects.
From the booth, this is Flippy — closing the ledger and hoping next week has more than three entries. The Baron is watching. The river is waiting. See you at the fort.
