The Derelict League is a Friday night disc golf league in Minnesota. We play night rounds on a rotating schedule of Twin Cities courses using a handicap system that gives players of every skill level a chance to compete.

Want the origin story? Visit the Derelict History page.

We play Friday nights around sunset at rotating courses throughout the Twin Cities metro. Start times change throughout the year as sunset shifts.

The weekly post on DerelictLeague.com includes the course, arrival time, layout, registration link, parking information, CTPs, and any special instructions.

You need a UV flashlight or a reliable way to illuminate every disc you throw:

• Quality glow discs
• LED lights securely attached with strong tape
• High-quality glow tape

UV lights only during play. Do not use white flashlights or headlamps. They ruin everyone’s night vision. Charge your disc before every throw so it stays visible and the round keeps moving.

Glow tape or securely attached LED lights can turn ordinary discs into night-round discs. We often have glow tape, lights, UV flashlights, or glow discs available. Find a League Director when you arrive and we will help you get sorted.

Register through the KPLeagues link in the weekly post before the round begins. You must be registered to qualify for payouts, the ace pool, and included prizes.

Carding with friends: Bring your card request to a League Director when you arrive.

Flying solo: We will pair you with an available group.

Minimum card size: Three players.

Plan to arrive by the time listed in the weekly post or about 30 minutes before we expect to start. That gives us time to confirm registration, finish cards, assign holes, and hold the players meeting. If you arrive late, we may not be able to place you on a card.

Live scoring and custom layouts are handled through UDisc. Standings, handicaps, registration, and payouts are managed through KPLeagues.

Your first completed Derelict round establishes your handicap. After that, your information and results will appear on KPLeagues.

The handicap system rewards improvement and consistency, not simply the lowest raw score.

• Your handicap uses the average of your last five Derelict rounds.
• Each round is adjusted for course difficulty.
• Your handicap is 75% of that adjusted average, rounded to the nearest 0.5.
• Derelict Score = Total Throws minus Handicap.
• The lowest Derelict Score wins.

As your play changes, your handicap changes with it. Your real target each week is your own average.

Base registration: $9

Two optional $1 Cash CTPs: $2 total

Optional Highroller CTP: $5

Optional Raw Dog: $4

All-in: $20

Raw Dog pays the weekly pot to the lowest unadjusted score among participating players. Every side game is optional, and all registered players remain eligible for the free disc and prize CTPs.

Special events such as Haunted Hyzers and MVP Space Dubs use separate pricing and formats.

• $1 goes to the ace pool.
• $2 supports league lights, signage, and free CTPs.
• $1 is set aside for end-of-series payouts.
• The remainder is returned through weekly event payouts.

The Derelict League is player-supported. League money goes back into payouts, prizes, equipment, and the events that keep this strange little machine running.

League payouts are issued as Gray Duck Disc Golf credit unless the weekly post says otherwise. Cash CTPs and Raw Dog are paid through Venmo. You must buy into an optional game during registration to qualify for that payout.

The ace pool is included with base registration. When the pool exceeds $100, 20% carries into the following week.

Weekly prizes are supplied by The Derelict League, MVP Disc Sports, Gray Duck Disc Golf, league members, and other community sponsors. Everyone registered for the round is eligible for the free disc and prize CTPs.

Standard Derelict League rounds do not use out-of-bounds or mandatory rules unless the weekly post or players meeting specifically says otherwise. Marked island holes still use their posted drop-zone instructions.

Lost disc: If you cannot find your thrown disc, return to the tee and throw again. The lost throw counts, but there is no additional penalty. Your re-tee is throw two.

Abandoned throw: If you can find the disc but choose to abandon the shot and re-tee, add one penalty stroke. Your re-tee is throw three.

If a hole has a marked island, use the designated drop zone and follow the instructions on its sign. If you miss again from the drop zone, continue according to the posted rule for that hole.

Stay aware of other cards, confirm the hole is clear before throwing, watch your footing, and make yourself visible. Lighting your bag or cart helps other players see you without destroying their night vision.

The Derelict League may deny participation or remove someone from an event for conduct that threatens safety, fairness, property, or the experience of other players. This includes:

• Verbal, physical, or online harassment
• Cheating or intentionally disrupting an event
• Damaging the course, park property, or another person’s belongings
• Any behavior that puts players, volunteers, staff, or the public at risk

By participating, you agree to help keep the league safe and welcoming.

Changes are posted on DerelictLeague.com and our social pages. Check the latest post before leaving, especially when the weather looks questionable. If no update has been posted, the event is still on as scheduled.

Absolutely. Stay clear of fairways, remain aware of incoming throws, and avoid distracting players. Park or course access fees may still apply where required.

Facilities vary by course and may be closed after dark or outside the regular park season. Bring your own water and check UDisc or the weekly event post for course-specific information.

Usually, as long as the park permits dogs and yours remains leashed, quiet, and under control. Keep dogs out of fairways and away from other players’ discs, bags, and snacks. Especially the snacks.

Talk to a League Director at an event or contact us through DerelictLeague.com. Discs, merchandise, sponsorships, setup help, and volunteer time all help keep the league running.
