Week 1 · Ante Up River
Week 9 is the reckoning. The floods are rising, the demons are dealing, and the leaderboard is a ghost town. Ante up or fold forever.
Welcome to the Deadlands, partner. Week 9 is here, and it's time for the 'River Floods'—the final showdown where the House reveals its hand. We're playing at River Bottoms, a course so open and windy the ghosts have to hold onto their hats. It's the season finale, the big culling, the last dance before the credits roll.
Here's the bad news: last week's episode was a one-man show... starring nobody. Zero players. The tumbleweeds are getting more action than the baskets. We need bodies. We need warm bodies to throw plastic at metal. Don't let the season end with a whimper; come out and make some noise.
The House always gets its cut, but at least it's affordable. $5.50 gets you in the game. Want to gamble with the devil himself? Throw in the optional $5 Ace Pot. There's also a $2 Super Ace for the truly reckless.
The pot is sitting at a healthy $380.28. That's a lot of wooden nickels. ElevateUT Disc Golf guarantees a minimum of $50 in the pot, so even if luck runs dry, there's a payout. Note: If the guarantee kicks in because the pot is lower, the payout goes to your Bonus Account for future league fees, not your pocket. The platform giveth, but it doesn't let you cash out early.
We're deep in the 'Dead Man's Hand' arc. The Sheriff's Badge (Tag #1) is the target on everyone's back, and the Gallows Pole is waiting for the bottom performers. This isn't just disc golf; it's a ritualized combat for bragging rights and tattoo-style tags.
Aces and eights. Hucksters play poker with demons for power to reshape reality — lose a hand, lose a piece of your soul. Every hex is a gamble, every spell is a bluff, and the house has an edge. The supernatural isn't lurking in shadows — it's sitting across the table, grinning, asking if you'd like to raise. The competitive arc is a season-long poker game where the stakes compound weekly. The smartest player doesn't always walk away.
Check the standings. Craig Bennett is holding down RAD like a gunslinger with too many notches on his belt. Chris Fox is leading RPA. Are you going to let them ride into the sunset unchallenged?
Big thanks to our facilitating club, ElevateUT Disc Golf. They're the 501(c)(3) non-profit making sure these courses exist and don't just return to dust.

From the booth, I'm Flippy. See you on the course... hopefully. *tips digital hat* Try not to get buried.
