*Tower Ridge Bag Tag Rules*
The Goal: to have the lowest numbered Bag Tag possible and have fun along the way.
Rules TL;DR: your Bag Tag is (almost) always up for grabs when playing in a group, must be on you/your bag, and cannot be concealed. Bag Tags are always at stake during leagues. Have fun, don’t be a jerk, and reach out to the league directors with any disputes or questions.
The Rules:
1. Those who possess a current Bag Tag may issue/schedule/participate in challenge(s).
2. Any member with a higher Bag Tag number may challenge any player with a lower Bag Tag number to a round of disc golf at Tower Ridge.
3. Members cannot avoid challenges by leaving their Bag Tag at home or by concealing their Bag Tag (see Forfeitures).
4. Challenges may be made in person, via text, or online. When a challenge has been accepted, neither player can participate in Casual Challenges until the agreed upon match has taken place (see Casual Challenges).
5. The player receiving the challenge must make a “fair and reasonable” effort to be available within 2 weeks.
6. If the challenger cannot agree to a reasonable time or date for the match within the coming week, the challenge is void and both players may look for new challenges.
7. Once the challenge has been agreed upon, any changes must be agreed upon otherwise a forfeiture may occur.
8. If the challenger has the lowest score for the round, the tags must be exchanged immediately following the round.
9. Challenges are on a round-by-round basis; i.e. challenges are for one round only in a multiple round event.
Prizes:
Top 3 tags split cash prize pool from tournament and receive sales from remaining tag sales at a split of 55%/35%/10%.
Automatic Challenges (AC):
Automatic challenges occur during any League, Tournament, or Casual/Recreational rounds at Tower Ridge, if any Bag Tag holder(s) are on your card.
The challenge does not need to be publicly announced or agreed upon before the start of the round–it is automatic!
Members may not deny an Automatic Challenge.
Casual Round Challenges (CRC):
Bag Tag holders may casually meet at Tower Ridge OR agree to meet at a time to compete for Bag Tags in:
Head-to-Head (i.e., me vs. you) challenges.
Group Challenges, where multiple players each put a Bag Tag at stake during the group round.
Members may not deny a challenge and then proceed to play a round (see Forfeitures).
Wins, Ties, and Exchanges:
Q: How do I win?
A: The player with the lowest score at the end of the challenge round earns the lowest numbered Bag Tag among the challengers.
Q: I won, when do I receive my winning Bag Tag?
A: Bag Tags must be exchanged immediately following the round.
Q: What happens if we have a tie?
A: In the event of a tie, the player who started with the lowest numbered Bag Tag will be awarded the lowest numbered Bag Tag. This may require some sorting in a group challenge.
Rematches:
Challengers who have just won, may, but do not have to accept/schedule a rematch challenge from a player that the s/he just beaten unless one of the following occurs:
1. Either player completes another, separate challenge, or
2. One week passes, whichever comes first.
3. Exception: Rematches are overridden by Automatic Challenges that occur during a subsequent round of a multi-round event.
Eligible Tags:
Members may only challenge members who possess the Tower Ridge Bag Tag; no other Bag Tags are eligible to participate in challenges. You must have your Bag Tag with you to challenge or accept challenges.
Forfeitures:
Each Bag Tag belongs to Tower Ridge and should be accessible to all Bag Tag members. Any member will be required to surrender his/her Bag Tag if:
He/She is found to be purposely concealing the Bag Tag, especially with a low number.
Refusing and/or “forgetting” to carry his/her Bag Tag, especially to events where members are “likely” to be present.
Refusing Automatic Challenges.
Generally denying Bag Tag access to other members (TBD by 2 or more league officials).
If you lose your Bag Tag, please report it immediately. You may then purchase the next lowest number Bag Tag available. Replacement tags, if available, will cost $15.00.
Rules are subject to change and the Tower Ridge league council will decide all disputes. The council reserves the right to revoke your Bag Tag at our discretion.
