Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
*adjusts headset* Welcome back to The Culling, where rankings matter and absence means forfeit—I'm contractually required to add. This week: Simulation #3 in The Chaintrix. A found-footage horror flick disguised as a Tuesday league. The tagline? "What circles back will find you." And folks, it’s not just discs. It’s your soul.
🌌 The Flare Witch Project: A Mockumentary of Errors
Three film students entered the old growth forest at Roots. They set glow lights. They strung trail cams. They threw a test disc toward the creek island. It came back… from the ridge. The footage they left behind becomes your weekly scorecard.
The Flare Witch is real. Or she’s a myth. Or she’s just wind shear and overstable plastic. Either way, something doesn’t want you to finish your round.
📼 Bag Tags: VHS Rental Cards from Hell
Your ranking isn’t just a number. It’s a Blockbuster membership status in the simulation:
- ELITE (Ranks 1-3): Full signal bars. You’re the final tape.
- PREFERRED (4-10): Flickering reception. You’re still renting.
- ACCOUNT SUSPENDED (11-16): "NO SIGNAL" in bold red. You’ve been rewound.
⚔️ Factions: Claimants vs. Archivists
The Claimants: Aggressors. They believe survival is earned through dominance. They’ll throw into the woods just to mark territory. “If the Flare Witch won’t show, we’ll make her show.”
The Archivists: Scientists. They map disc flight paths. They catalog anomalies. They believe knowledge defeats chaos. “The Flare Witch isn’t magic. She’s a data point.”

Last Week: "Creek Island Loop" – 13 challengers, average score "E", no ace. The Flare Witch remains unclaimed. The simulation continues.
Current Leaders: Eric Pearson (RAD) leads with 43 points. Brian Hansen (RPA) at 39. The arena is quiet… too quiet.
Visual Aesthetic: VHS tracking lines. Neon-pink grids fading into fog. Green code rain shaped like errant discs. Your scorecard looks like it was recorded on a camcorder from 1999. If it jams, blame the Flare Witch.
*sighs, checks clipboard* The facilitators? ElevateUT Disc Golf—a 501(c)(3) non-profit actually building better disc golf venues. Respect. The local retail partner? Another Round Salt Lake City. Thanks for keeping the plastic flowing.
So grab your glow tape. Check your trail cam. Step into the boots of the missing. The Flare Witch is waiting. And remember: what circles back will find you.
*drops headset* Back to you in the booth. Or would you prefer the woods?
