Event Details
About This League
Salt Crust Forms at Roots this Friday. Week 8 of the Dead Sea series. Flex start 7am-5:40pm or shotgun at 6pm. Don't get pickled. 🧂👻
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The crust is hardening, partners. Week 8 is here, and we're seeing who turns to stone and who stays fresh in the brine.
The Lay of the Land
Before you throw, take a look around. The Great Salt Lake sits in Deseret like an open wound that refused to heal. A fortress state on cursed alkali flats where nothing grows and the water preserves everything it touches including things that should have rotted. The lake is wrong: too still, too bright, too dead. Things float in it that shouldn't exist. The outside horrors press against Deseret's walls while internal secrets crack the foundation. The salt keeps things preserved.
The Protocol
Welcome to Week 8: Salt Crust Forms. We're deep in the Deadlands now, and the preservation process is underway. You can choose your own pace with flex starts from 7:00 AM to 5:40 PM, or join the chaos at the 6:00 PM shotgun start. Either way, the Jordan River is watching.
The Tithe
Thanks to our local retail partner, Another Round Salt Lake City, for keeping our bags stocked. They're the ones making sure you have the right tool for the job.
The Hexed Relic
The Ace Pot is sitting at $481.94. That's a lot of salt for one hole-in-one. ElevateUT Disc Golf guarantees a minimum of $50.00 for this pot, meaning even if contributions are slow, the prize remains solid. Note: If the guarantee is triggered, the top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account for registration purposes.
The Undertaker's Ledger
The standings are calcifying, but there's still movement in the dirt. In RPA, Chris Fox is holding off the posse with 503 points. RAD is seeing Craig Bennett sit pretty at 621. Over in RAF, Nicholas Stosiek is leading with 294, while Caleb Wetzel tops RAG at 140. RAH belongs to Dillon Mueller (204 points), and David LaTour is the law in RAE (159 points).
