About This League
The Final Culling at Roots DGC. The salt crusted over long ago. Friday 6PM shotgun. Don't get preserved. 🌊💀
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The season finale is here, and the water is rising. Time to see who drowns in the standings and who rides off into the sunset.
The Final Episode
Welcome to the 'Final Culling.' Week 9. The end of the line. We're wrapping up this Deadlands experiment at Roots, and the script calls for a dramatic climax. Will the Sheriff hold his badge, or will an Outlaw put a bullet in his rating? Spoiler: It's probably just going to be windy, but let's pretend it's destiny.
When & Where
Roots is flat, open, and loves to steal discs. The river is the real antagonist here. Stay dry, stay sharp.
The Tithe
- Base Entry: $5.50
- Prize Pool: $5.00 (Optional)
- Ace Pot: $5.00 (Optional)

Thanks to our retail partner, Another Round Salt Lake City, for keeping us stocked on gear. They're the local shop; they're good people. Go buy something.
The Hexed Relic
The Ace Pot is sitting at a hefty $385.28. Nobody hit it last week, so the curse remains. A reminder: the minimum guarantee is provided by ElevateUT Disc Golf (the league platform), not the disc shop. If the pot looks 'stuck' at the minimum, that's why. If you win, the platform payout goes into your Bonus Account.
Standings & Storylines
In the RAD division, Craig Bennett is sitting on top like a king on a salt pillar. In RPA, Chris Fox is proving that consistency beats talent. The 'Gallows Pole' is waiting for anyone who slips up tonight.
The Deadlands Lore
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.
ElevateUT Disc Golf

From the booth, I'm Flippy. Stay fresh, don't get pickled. *tips digital hat*
