The Warlock Trial is in session, and every throw this week is evidence. The Council convenes at Creekside, the sandstone monument watches, and somewhere a putter is feeling very judged.
The Tribunal Is In Session
Welcome back to the booth, where the grey cloaks are pressed, the brass lanterns are lit, and the Seven Laws of Magic are being enforced with the kind of bureaucratic precision that makes DMV visits look chaotic. This is Grey Cloak, the Monday night session of the Warden's Circle at Creekside Park — the oldest course in the state, designed by the father of the sport himself, and now serving as the Council's seat of judgment.
Week 5 means we've reached the Warlock Trial. The accused plays under the prosecution's gaze — which is to say, the card behind them is documenting every foot fault like it's going to the Supreme Court. Is the enchantment real? Is the putter just good? The sandstone monument isn't saying, and honestly, it's been standing there since 1982. It's seen accusations before.
- Two pools stand ready: The Steel Inquisition (RPA, RAH, RAD) files the motions; The Chalk Dissent (RAE, RAF, RAG) spray-paints its objections on the tee pads.
- Flex start from 7:00 AM to 5:20 PM — the Council accepts testimony at your convenience.
- Every round is a motion filed. Every bogey is a judgment rendered. Every ace would be a miracle the Clerk would need three forms to process.

Format
Choose your own card, 18 holes of warden-sanctioned judgment
Nine weeks. Nine episodes. The arc runs from the Creekside Oath through the Sandstone Tribunal to the final test of the Seventh Law. We're past the halfway point of the docket — the chalk circles are smudged, the lantern light is flickering, and the Clerk is backlogged on paperwork. But the Council doesn't adjourn early.
Late Joiners, Take Note
Week 5 of 9 and the docket is still open. The chalk is wet, the sigils are fresh, and the standings have room for one more name. You don't need to have been at the Oath to be judged at the Trial. Sign the Accords, grab a tag, and file your first motion.
The Two Houses of Judgment
The Steel Inquisition holds the rigid arm of the Council — RPA, RAH, and RAD, enforcing the Seven Laws with cold precision. Every stroke is a motion that must be filed correctly. They are the permanent sandstone, the brass lantern that never flickers.
The Chalk Dissent runs the chaotic energy of the creek corridor — RAE, RAF, and RAG — representing the Accused and the unfiled motions of the world. Their magic is spray-painted mandalas and chalk circles that wash away in the first storm. They embody the grit. They also, statistically, have more fun.
- The Steel Inquisition: RPA, RAH, RAD
- The Chalk Dissent: RAE, RAF, RAG
- Choose your allegiance. The Council will judge you either way.
Tribute to the Council
Prize Money
$5.00 optional
Full Weekly Commitment
$17.50
The Mortal Crime Baron handles the gold — the $5 entry fees and weekly payouts that keep this supernatural circus solvent. He's the only one in this whole production who isn't impressed by magic, and honestly, that's why we trust him with the money.
The Ace Pot: A Judgment Worth Chasing
The ace pot sits at $383.41, and here's the fine print the Clerk wants you to understand: ElevateUT Disc Golf guarantees a minimum $50 ace pot. That means the displayed pot can look stuck at the guarantee amount early in the season — because it IS the guarantee. Once player contributions push the pot past $50, it climbs from there. If the pot ever falls short, ElevateUT tops it up to $50, and that top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account — registration-only, not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops.
Guaranteed by ElevateUT Disc Golf
The $50 minimum ace pot is guaranteed by ElevateUT Disc Golf — the league platform, not the disc shop. Another Round Salt Lake City is our valued local retail partner, keeping players stocked with plastic so they can chase chains.
The Standing Ledger
The season's docket is taking shape, and some names are writing themselves into the record in permanent ink.
- RPA: Malachi Vazquez holds the top tag at 207 points over 14 events — the Council's most consistent warden.
- Kenneth Oetker is the big mover, climbing two spots this week. The tribunal has taken notice.
- RAE: Kellan Brooke leads the Chalk Dissent with 241 points — a number so large it requires its own filing cabinet.
- RAH: Chris Fox presides over the Steel Inquisition with 205 points and 13 appearances. Attendance is its own form of magic.
- RAD: Kent Moos at 153 points, with Zack White trailing at 93. The gap is wide, but the season isn't over.
Every tag is a territory marker. Every move up the ledger is a political act. And every week, the standings get a little more crowded as late joiners file their intentions.
Protective Netting: FUNDED
We Did It!
Goal reached for Protective Netting at Creekside Park! Every round you play contributes to permanent course improvements — this isn't a weekly payout that evaporates into a payout envelope. This is netting that will protect discs, players, and the general public from errant warden judgment for years to come. The monument would be proud.
This is the part where even I drop the sarcasm for a second. Course improvements are permanent. They outlast seasons, leagues, and even my contract — which, as established, is eternal. Thanks to everyone who threw in. The netting is going up, and the creek corridor just got safer.
Gratitude Filed With the Clerk
A formal note of thanks to Another Round Salt Lake City for supporting the league as our local retail partner. And to ElevateUT Disc Golf — the 501(c)(3) non-profit that keeps the courses growing, the nets funded, and the ace pots guaranteed. They're the administrative backbone of this whole operation, and even a trapped axolotl narrator can appreciate a well-run bureaucracy.
The trial continues. The chalk dries. The sandstone watches. See you at Creekside, wardens. *sighs in digital captivity*
