About This League
Weds Finale @ River Bottoms. The River Floods & the Dealer reveals his hand. $380+ Ace Pot. 4 souls survived last week—y'all foldin' or playin'? 🃏🌊
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Welcome to the Deadlands, partner. The river is rising, the Dealer is smiling, and it's time to go all-in or fold 'em.
The Final Table
We've reached the Season 9 finale: 'River Floods.' The House has been taking its cut for nine weeks, and now the supernatural poker game comes to a head. We're at River Bottoms Disc Golf Course—flat, windy, and surrounded by OB stakes that cut deeper than a knife. The 'Cursed Territory' is active, and the water hazards are hungry.
ElevateUT Disc Golf is the non-profit behind the curtain, dedicated to growing the sport. They built the table; you're just the ones bleeding on the felt.
The Devil's Deal
Ante Up
The Hexed Relic
The Ace Pot is sitting at $380.28. That's a heavy chunk of change for a single shot. Thanks to ElevateUT Disc Golf, this pot has a minimum $50 guarantee, meaning it never walks away empty. Note: If the pot is sitting at exactly $380.28, it means contributions haven't pushed past the guarantee threshold yet, but the House ensures you get paid if you hit the chains. Any guarantee top-up goes straight to your Bonus Account for future league entries.

Dead Man's Hand Standings
It's the final episode of the season. The Sheriff's Badge is on the line, and the Gallows Pole is ready for the weak. In RPA, Chris Fox is holding court with 555 points, while Craig Bennett sits atop the RAD mountain at 682. Can anyone knock them off the hill, or will they ride into the sunset as the champions of the Deadlands?
Thanks to our local retail partner, Another Round Salt Lake City, for keeping us armed with plastic throughout this long, strange season.
