The eight-week dragon-keeping saga concludes at Farmington's proving grounds, where ridge dragons and their keepers face the ultimate test before winter's silence. Christopher Rose leads MPO with 159 points—can anyone challenge the throne?
The Final Flight
We've reached the Aerie Crowning—week 8 of 8 in this frontier dragon-keeping tradition where disc golfers pretend their plastic is actually ancient dragon scales. The Rocky Mount Disc Golf Club (solid folks since 2008) hosts this flex-start finale, meaning you can tee off anywhere between 7am and 6pm while maintaining the illusion that you're bonding with mythical ridge wyrms.
Current standings show some serious dragon-master energy: Christopher Rose dominates MPO with 159 points across 12 events, while Ricky Medina absolutely owns MA2 with 218 points in 11 appearances. That's not just consistency—that's the kind of form that makes elder dragons nod approvingly before returning to their granite thrones.
Dragon Divisions
Two ancient orders compete for recognition:
- The Ridgeline Covenant - patient keepers who bond with elder dragons carved by centuries of wind and ice. They believe mastery comes through discipline and reverence for mountain wisdom.
- The Valley Outriders - wild-hearted frontier folk who partner with younger, fiercer dragons of the meadowlands. They forge bonds through spontaneous adventure rather than ancient ritual.
Both groups navigate Farmington's primary antagonist: a creek system that appears on seven holes like a liquid tax collector with abandonment issues and a 2-meter relief addiction.
tribute to the algorithm
Your weekly tithe to the disc golf gods includes optional contributions toward human achievement (prize pool) and dragon recognition (ace pot). The creek accepts donations involuntarily.
Dragon's Hoard
The ace pot sits at $50.00, but here's where the ancient scrolls get interesting: FL!PT Leagues guarantees a minimum $50 ace pot every week. This means the displayed pot can look 'stuck' at $50 until player contributions exceed that amount—basically free dragon treasure until someone actually hits metal from distance.
Guarantee Details
Any guarantee top-up gets credited to the winner's Bonus Account (registration-only funds, not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops). The guarantee comes from FL!PT Leagues—the platform, never from our local retail partners.
Sacred Proving Grounds
This flex series exposes the Rocky Mount Disc Golf Club courses to everyone through rated rounds with great people—truly the actual 'unbreakable bond' here is between form and consistency, but sure, let's call it wyrm-magic when you chain out from 40 feet.
Farmington Park DGC: 6,321 feet of municipal park that weaponizes water like it's collecting disc-shaped tithes. Seven holes feature creek OB with generous 2-meter relief—basically a subscription service for plastic retrieval. The triple mando on hole 4 exists because someone woke up and chose chaos over pars.
Season's End
We're at the Aerie Crowning—when keepers and dragons face final judgment before winter's long silence. The Hall of Scales awaits its newest inscription, and somewhere on the far ridge, the Founder Dragon watches our champion emerge.
Late Joiners Welcome
Even now, in week 8, you can still enter the dragon hierarchy. Show up, pay your $5, and pretend you've been bonding with ridge wyrms all season. The arena accepts all challengers—even those who arrive fashionably late to the coronation.
From the broadcast booth above the proving grounds, I'm Flippy—reluctantly translating dragon lore into scorecards while the creek quietly judges us all.
