After a week of wind and punishment at Whispering Doakes, the warriors of the Valley returned to familiar battlegrounds: Alcantra DGC.
The terrain was known. The lines remembered. But don’t be fooled—the Valley never plays the same way twice.
And while the Trials continued… a greater battle looms:
The Noodle Arm Tournament arrives this weekend—a two-day war for glory.
But first, we look to those who faced Trial Four.
Some found redemption. Others slipped deeper into the shadows.
????️ Tier A – The King Reclaims His Throne
Thomas Voight (-10) didn’t just return to Alcantra—he ruled it.
Calm, cold, and in complete control, he reminded everyone why his name echoes across the Valley.
Behind him, a new name entered the tier with force:
Brian Cassidy (-5) — a strong debut, showing that new blood still has power in this game.
Naz Munoz (+1) rounded out the card, a tough battle on a deceptively demanding course.
The Tier A crown may shift… but for now, Thomas wears it again.
⚔️ Tier B – Kelly’s Warpath Begins
Kelly Allen (-8) returned to form in a big way—decimating Alcantra and making his bid for tier dominance official.
Hot on his heels:
Jeremy Ratliff (-6) — back with a vengeance, stepping into the top chase group.
Behind them, a three-way tie:
Adam Smithers (-2)
Christopher Foley (-2)
Patrick Phelps (-2)
All steady. All hungry. All in striking distance.
Trailing, but not gone:
Wayne Danjin (-1) — playing with patience.
David Griffin (+1) and Rodney Stepp (+1) — searching for their breakout moment.
Tier B is building toward something… and Meier Lake may be the crucible.
???? Tier C – Fogelman Holds, But a Challenger Appears
Adam Fogelman (-2) continues to hold his ground as the steadiest hand in Tier C—this trial was no different.
But now, a name rises to challenge him:
Shane Goncalves (-1) — a strong performance in his debut week, signaling that Adam’s position isn’t uncontested anymore.
David Donaldson (+4) fought through the round, but Alcantra was unforgiving this time.
???? Tier D – Carrie Holds Steady as the Others Fall Back
Carrie Foley (+7) once again led the pack in Tier D—not by dominating, but by surviving.
The conditions were softer… but the pressure? Heavier than ever.
Rheannon Fabrallo (+15), last week’s champion, couldn’t replicate her performance.
Gwendolyn Hoibokk (+19) and Billy Evangelista (+23) fought hard, but the Valley tested their resolve.
Carrie’s rise continues—and now she heads to Meier Lake with momentum, a target on her back, and something to prove.
????️ Next Week: Meier Lake Awaits
Meier Lake:
The course is scenic.
The lines are tight.
And the OB is everywhere.
Trial Five will be a test of control, focus, and nerves. It may break streaks—or build legends.
???? This Weekend: The Noodle Arm Tournament Begins
As if the Trials weren’t enough…
This weekend, the Noodle Army takes the field.
A two-day disc war. A battlefield of long pins, short tempers, and deep talent.
Many from the Trials will enter. Few will walk away with glory.
Four Trials down. Six remain.
The paths are forming. The leaders emerging. The pressure growing.
Will Thomas keep the crown? Can Kelly take Tier B once and for all? Is Fogelman safe atop Tier C? And will Carrie finally break free from the Valley’s grip—or be pulled back in?
Next stop: Meier Lake.
Next battle: The Noodle Arm.
This story is far from over.
⛓️ Respect the Trials. Survive the Valley. ⛓️
