Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Week 10 of 10: The North Pole Awaits
*adjusts frozen headset, checks departure board one last time*
Well, well, well. After nine weeks of LED-wrapped train cars, aurora-painted fairways, and steam-revealed baskets teaching disc golfers to trust impossible geometry, we've finally arrived at FLIPT Terminal - the North Pole's secret championship layout. And yes, I've been reluctantly narrating this entire journey while dripping seasonal sarcasm from my digital aquatic prison. My holiday cheer infection is at maximum saturation. Let's get this finale over with.
⚡ THE LEGENDARY 600-FOOTER ⚡
This is what ten weeks has built toward: a 600-foot flex shot over black ice that only works when you believe it will. The massive anhyzer line that shouldn't exist. The impossible geometry that defies conventional disc golf wisdom. Under cascading curtains of green aurora light, players face the shot they've been training for all season - the one that requires complete faith in the physics of flight.
Based on "The Polar Express" - because apparently we needed to make Wednesday league sound like a Christopher Nolan film.
🎭 The Philosophical Warfare Continues
Our league remains divided into two pools, locked in their eternal battle over the nature of disc flight itself:
🔥 The Engine Room Believers
Divisions: MPO, FPO, MP40, MA1, MP50, MP60, MA2
These players have fully embraced the impossible physics originating from the Polar Flexpress engine room. They throw massive flex lines without hesitation, trust anhyzer angles that shouldn't work, and believe every basket is reachable regardless of distance. Their throws create golden trails through the air. They've abandoned conventional wisdom for faith-based flight paths. They're ready for the 600-footer.
❄️ The Caboose Doubters
Divisions: MJ18, FJ18, MJ15, FJ15, MA50, MA60, MA40, FA40, MA3, MA4, FA1, FA2, FA3, FA4
Firmly anchored in conventional disc golf wisdom, riding in the train's caboose where the view is always backward-looking. They calculate wind speed, measure distances precisely, and throw only shots they've practiced thousands of times. They see the aurora as mere distraction and trust only in repetition and muscle memory. They think the 600-footer is impossible.
*shuffles frozen paperwork* The irony? By Week 10, even the doubters have been infected by belief. The train does that to you.
📅 Logistics (The Boring But Necessary Stuff)
- When: Wednesdays, flex start between 7:00 AM and 4:40 PM
- Where: The Trails Disc Golf Course, Anderson SC (now serving as "True North")
- Format: Choose your own card, show up whenever works for you
- This Week: Week 10 of 10 - THE FINALE
💰 The Financial Exchange
- Base Entry: $5.00 (your ticket aboard)
- Optional Prize Pool: $5.00 (for those who enjoy winning things)
- Ace Pot: $3.00 (currently at $69 - nice)
- Super Ace: $2.00 (for the truly ambitious)
The ace pot is guaranteed at a minimum of $50 by FL!PT Leagues (the league platform - NOT the disc shop, they're just our awesome local retail partner). The displayed pot may look "stuck" at $69 until player contributions exceed that amount. If the guarantee kicks in, any top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account (registration-only; not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops). Yes, this is confusing. No, I didn't design the system. I just narrate from this frozen booth.
🏆 Series Standings Snapshot
After nine weeks of competition, here's where the season leaders stand heading into the finale:
- MPO: Stephen Scoggins (336 pts, 25 events) - The engine room's most consistent believer
- FPO: Eva Lutsenko (139 pts, 10 events) - Dominating with calculated faith
- MA1: Zach Taylor (324 pts, 18 events) vs Aiden Lane (298 pts, 15 events) - Tight race to the terminal
- MA2: Bryan Horton just overtook Austin Willett - the climb continues
- MA3: Jonathan Armstrong (352 pts, 21 events) - The doubter who learned to believe
- MA4: Stewart Gunter (436 pts, 17 events) leading a packed field
*checks survival board* This finale matters. These standings represent ten weeks of transformation, doubt converting to trust, conventional wisdom meeting impossible geometry. The train has delivered everyone to this moment.
🎬 The FLiPT Factor
This league is facilitated by FLiPT Disc Golf, whose mission statement is simply: "unnecessarily. dramatic. disc golf."
*slow clap from the frozen booth* They built an entire PDGA-sanctioned league management system to make Wednesday flex leagues feel like film noir survival theater. They wrapped a train in LEDs, painted fairways with aurora light, and created a ten-week narrative arc about believing in impossible flex shots. This isn't just a league - it's a masterpiece of unnecessary drama. And honestly? I respect the commitment.
🎯 Your Mission This Week
Show up at The Trails between 7am and 4:40pm. Throw your round. Face the impossible 600-footer (metaphorically - it's still just The Trails, folks). Trust the line that shouldn't work. Complete the ten-week journey from doubt to belief.
And maybe - just maybe - take home some prize money, hit that $69 ace pot, or earn bragging rights as a season champion.
*adjusts headset one final time, steam rising in the frozen air*
This is it. FLIPT Terminal. The North Pole. The legendary shot. Ten weeks of LED-wrapped narrative culminating in one final Wednesday at The Trails. The train has delivered you to the moment of truth.
From the broadcast booth, where I've been reluctantly spreading holiday hyzers from the digital deep, this is Flippy signing off on Week 10. The Polar Flexpress has reached its destination.
The impossible line awaits. Do you believe?
