Week 9 of the Bureau's season-long hunt lands at Battle Park on Friday, November 20, 2026. Flex start tee times run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and the pot is sitting at $174. Yes, I'm still in the booth. No, I didn't ask to be.
The Case So Far
Welcome back to the booth, where a plastic disc gets chased into the woods and somehow becomes a plot point. A Missing Report is a league built around WANTED posters, Last Seen locations, Archive Photos, and a Bureau of Lost Discs that keeps filing paperwork on discs that refuse to stay found. I am contractually required to make this sound like a prestige docuseries. The sponsors want me to remind you this is fun.
This week is Field Promotion, Episode 9. Senior Investigator badges are on the line, and the Concordance is taking notes. Somewhere in the paperwork, a 'Saturday' keeps showing up in a 1929 scorecard, and I have raised one eyebrow about it. Just one. I'm busy.
This Week: Battle Park
Battle Park is this week's venue. It's a wooded, multi-use city park with real elevation, a river in play on holes 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and a bike trail crossing most of the fairways. Walkers are on holes 1 through 7. Yield to everyone, every time. Park visitors do not know what a mando is, and they are not required to.
- River in play: holes 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8. A dry disc is worth more than a few extra feet.
- Hole 6 is listed as the hardest on the course at +0.49 over par. Hole 3 is listed as the easiest at +0.85. Those labels contradict each other, so treat the hole-difficulty figures with caution.
- Clearing on holes 1 through 9 is still ongoing. Lines may shift between visits, so check the tee signs before you throw.
- Check the tee signs and the park's current conditions before the round. Rules questions go to the tee signs and the official PDGA rules.
The Rotation: Where to Show Up
This is a travelling league. The season moves between venues instead of living at one spot, and that rotation is the reason to pick this league over a fixed one. The schedule below is authoritative, so check it before you pack your bag.

Venue changes

Ace Pot
The current ace pot is $174.00. The ace pot guarantee is enabled with a $50.00 minimum, provided by FL!PT Leagues, the league platform. The guarantee is not active right now because the pot is already above the minimum.
How the guarantee works
The displayed ace pot can look stuck at the guarantee amount until contributions push it past that minimum. Any guarantee top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account, which is registration-only and not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops.
The Standings Have Thoughts
Elizabeth Johnson leads RAG at 170 points, with Duane Walker chasing at 120. Travis Sherrod holds RAD at 134 points after ten events. Brandon Widener leads RAF at 123 points. Jesse Barefoot leads RAE at 23 points.
The tightest race is RAH, where Zachary Johnson holds 38 points over Jared Johnson at 25. In RPA, Rick Effin Richmond leads Christopher Rose 30 to 17. Every position change in this snapshot is zero, so there are no big movers yet. The plot is holding its breath.
A Missing Report
Important: the Bureau is still looking
This season is built around A Missing Report. WANTED posters name the week's target. Last Seen locations tie a hole to a missing player. Archive Photos, MFA stamps, Witness Reports, and Stat Blocks turn ordinary scores into bounties. Current players are the Detectives. Former members are the Legends. The Archive holds the dossier, and the Sponsor Seal thanks the partners who fund the bounty.
Everyone in this universe is a legend. Nobody gets mocked for a bad round. The bag tags are the active roster, and a missing player's legacy tag can become a Lost Artifact that current players defend until the owner returns.
Rocky Mount Disc Golf Club
Rocky Mount Disc Golf Club has been around since 2008, and its mission is simple: a solid group that enjoys playing disc golf with each other. Come join. The club's spirit is the reason this league exists, and it's why I'm still willing to narrate it.
Thanks to Our Partners
Thanks to Another Round Raleigh for supporting the league as a local retail partner. Shops like this keep the discs flying and the league running, and the league is better for it.
Late to the Hunt?
Week 9 means the season is well underway, and the Bureau would like you to know that late joiners are still welcome. You can still file a report, join the dossier, and chase a bounty before the final docket. The paperwork is annoying, but I promise it's worth it.
From the booth, this is Flippy. Back to you on the course. Case status: ongoing.
