About This League
Wed @ River Bottoms. Week 8: Visual Noise. The glyphs pulse. Ace Pot $287+. Flex start 7a-5:20p. 🌀👁️
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Per the file I'm legally required to read aloud... Week 8 is Visual Noise. The glyph is pulsing, and the countdown has begun. Maintain your clearance.
THE PATTERN
The Pattern is the signature left in the field: impossible geometry pressed into tall grass overnight, perfect and silent. River Bottoms' tall riverside grasses are the literal canvas. We are observing Op Art phenomena—Bridget Riley optical geometry, hypnotic black-and-white waves, moire that vibrates. It hurts to look at. The surveyors' concentric rings seem to move. Who made this? The file is redacted, but the symmetry is deeply suspicious.
MISSION BRIEFING
Welcome to the Containment Zone. The Pattern shifts weekly, invalidating previous data. Your objective is simple: map the circles, secure the perimeter, and survive the audit. River Bottoms is the testing ground—flat, open, and exposed. The wind is the interference; the OB stakes are the cage boundaries. Do not lose the signal.

ACE POT INTELLIGENCE
The current Ace Pot stands at $287.55. ElevateUT Disc Golf provides a minimum guarantee of $50.00 for this pot. If the pot appears 'stuck' at the guarantee amount, it simply means contributions haven't exceeded the floor yet. If you hit an ace, the guarantee top-up is credited to your Bonus Account for registration use only.
THE DISCLOSURE PROTOCOL
This is Volume 2 of the Disclosure anthology. We are past the 'Discovery' phase and deep into the 'Evidence' phase. Bag Tags are now Security Clearance Levels. Challenging a player is an Audit. If you breach their security (win), you take their clearance. If you fail, you are decommissioned (drop in standings).
The season builds to The Night Siege—the Brighton Finale. The standings determine who is present for First Contact. Keep your head down and your score low.
CURRENT CLEARANCE STANDINGS
The leaderboard is stable, but that is usually when the anomaly strikes. In RPA (Cosmic Top Secret), Britain Best holds the lead at 260 points. Christian Phelps is securing the perimeter in RAE with 248 points. The system is watching.
APPROVED VENDORS
Thanks to Another Round Salt Lake City for their continued support as a retail partner. They provide the equipment necessary for your survival in the field. We appreciate their contribution to the cause.
ElevateUT Disc Golf remains the governing body of this containment zone. Their 501(c)(3) status ensures all your fees are properly laundered... er, allocated to course development and non-profit growth.
Redacted. Moving on. Not because I want to, but because the form demands it.
