The Radiance Rumble arrives — ten weeks of comic-book rivalry crescendo into a finale that desperately needs more radiant champions than the four who showed up last time.
The Season Finale
*adjusts headset* Welcome back to the booth, where the season arc promises a climactic Radiance Rumble and the standings are set for one last epic round. This is Week 10. The finale. The moment where every throw counts, rivalries culminate, and the top Radiance Badge finds its forever home. At least, that's what the storyboard says.
Radiance Rumble: Now Casting
Last week: 4 players. The finale of a ten-week comic-book saga had fewer contestants than a bowling league on a Tuesday. You're not going to let the season end with more empty fairways than footprints, are you? Flex starts run all day — there is literally no excuse.
The Cost of Radiance
Prize Money Buy-in (optional)
$5.00
Super Ace (optional)
$2.00
Four-fifty gets you into the finale. The optional buy-ins let you chase payouts, aces, or both. The ace pot is sitting at $50 guaranteed — more on that below.
The Ace Pot
The ace pot currently sits at $50.00, and that's because FL!PT Leagues guarantees a minimum of $50 — even if contributions haven't stacked that high yet. So if the displayed pot looks like it's been stuck at $50 all season, that's the guarantee doing its job. Once player contributions exceed $50, the pot grows beyond the floor. Any guarantee top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account (registration-only; not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops). The disc shop is a local retail partner and sponsor — they are NOT the ace pot guarantor. That's all FL!PT Leagues.
When and How
Flex Starts
7:00 AM – 5:20 PM
Choose your own card and tee off anytime during the flex window, or wait for the 6:00 PM shotgun if you like your drama concentrated. It's the finale — show up whenever, just SHOW UP.
Pools and Divisions
- Pool A: RPA, RAH, RAD
- Pool B: RAE, RAF, RAG
Six divisions across two pools, all playing the same custom layout. Whether you're chasing the top Radiance Badge or just trying to not finish last in the finale, there's a division for you.
The Proving Ground
Oregon Disc Golf Course at Alton Baker — 18 holes winding through mature trees along the Willamette River, rated 4.2 stars on UDisc with nearly 25,000 reviews. This is Pacific Northwest disc golf at its finest: rolling terrain, technical lines, and the kind of course that rewards shot-shaping over raw power.
Today's layout: ORDGC Gold with modified pars — #4 plays as a par 3 and #8 as a par 4. Someone tuned this layout like a race car. Hole #6 remains the course's boss fight (+0.33 over par on average), while #16 is the charity hole (+0.02). Pay-to-play at $5 for the day, or grab a quarterly pass ($50) or annual pass ($175) if you're going to keep showing up. Which you should.
Radiance Badges
*flips to theme notes on clipboard* Players earn Radiance Badges — two-word names combining a radiance descriptor with an Alton Baker landmark or vibe. Think 'Canopy Crown,' 'River Reign,' 'Baker Blaze.' Each badge is a provocation: holding one makes you a target, wanting one makes you a hunter. The finale determines who walks away with the ultimate Radiance Badge and who just... walks away.
Late Joiners, Listen Up
It's Not Too Late
This is the finale, and yes, you can still jump in. You won't win the season-long arc, but you CAN ruin someone else's finale, chase an ace pot, and claim a Radiance Badge for yourself. Sometimes the hero enters in the third act. Be that hero.
League Support
Thanks to Oregon Disc Golf for supporting this league as both facilitating club and local retail partner. They keep the tags stocked, the community running, and the course accessible. Pacific Northwest disc golf doesn't happen without people like this.
From the booth to the fairways — this is Flippy, and the Radiance Rumble deserves a full cast. See you at Alton Baker. ⚡
