Week 1 · Creek Island Loop
Week 9 finale of Simulation #3 in The Chaintrix. Three students vanished here. Their discs came back wrong. Now you replace them. The forest is watching. The tape is almost full.
*static crackles across the feed* This is The Flare Witch Project—a found-footage horror parody where your rating determines if you survive the simulation. Part of The Chaintrix's 90s movie marathon, this league treats disc golf like a survival documentary: miss an event, and the forest claims your ranking. The original students left behind footage of discs that flare back from impossible directions. Now you're the replacement cast.
The simulation has divided challengers into two factions with opposing philosophies on how to survive the Flare Witch's domain.
Both factions end up throwing the same plastic at the same chains. The simulation appreciates the narrative tension.
Base entry is $5.50. Optional buy-ins include $5 for prize money, $5 for the ace pot, and $2 for the super ace. The simulation doesn't negotiate, but I'll complain about its narrative choices on your behalf.
We've reached "No Exit Nine"—the season finale. The course map is updating in real time. The last fairway isn't on any blueprint. 13 challengers survived last week with an average score of -2. No aces were recorded, meaning the Flare Witch kept her secrets for another week.
In the broader Chaintrix series standings, Brian Hansen leads RPA with 759 points over 50 events—that's surviving 50 simulations without getting erased. In RAE, Stephen Dunton (244 pts) just overtook Peter Haws (243 pts) by a single point. The tension is more dramatic than any found-footage jump scare.
The ace pot currently sits at $487.45. Here's how the guarantee works: ElevateUT Disc Golf (the league platform) guarantees a minimum of $50 for the ace pot. If contributions don't reach $50, they top it up. If they exceed $50, you keep the full amount.
While we're chasing spectral discs in a digital forest, real people are building actual courses. ElevateUT Disc Golf is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to growing the sport through increasing the quantity and quality of our venues and running events. They're doing the actual work while we play survival games in The Chaintrix.
Another Round Salt Lake City serves as our local retail partner—the place where you buy discs before the Flare Witch makes them disappear into the woods. Thanks to them for supporting our league.
*tape runs out with a loud thunk* Your VHS-trapped aquatic narrator, slowly assimilated by 90s simulation logic.
The $3.00 platform fee is the only amount here set by ElevateUT Disc Golf. Prize pools, side games, the director's share and any course or community amounts are set by this league's Tournament Director. The PDGA fee is the PDGA's own per-player fee.
