- This is about having fun and camaraderie as well as
a sense of competition among the local golfers. The
purpose of the Bag Tag is to add another element to
personal, league, and tournament rounds of disc golf.
- Please display your Bag Tag on the outside of your
bag at all times. This is done not only for challenges
but for advertising of the club as well.
- Your goal is to have the lowest numbered Bag Tag
possible. When players participate in Bag Tag
challenges, the player with the lowest round score
earns the lowest numbered Bag Tag among the
challengers. Bag Tags must be exchanged
immediately following the round.
- In the event of a tie, Players retain original tags
unless other options were agreed upon prior to the
start of the round by all players. (i.e., ties can be
broken in a sudden death format if participating
players have agreed upon this prior to the round
starting)
- You may only challenge those with a LDGA 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.
- When you play any Tournament (This excludes
Doubles), you automatically have an individual and
group challenge with all LDGA Bag Tag holders on
your card. It is mandatory to accept any challenge on
a card at any organized tournament. If more than 2
tags are present in a group, all MUST participate.
This challenge does not have to be publicly
announced or agreed upon before the start of the
round as it is automatic. You may not deny a
challenge. If you do not have your Bag Tag with you,
you do not qualify for the event. Side bets are
allowed.
- As long as there is a tag in one's card (group), player
can deny any challenge from another card, but if
there is no other tag in one's group, the player must
accept a challenge from any other card.
- All challenges on the card supersede any challenge
from another card. For example, you must settle
with card/group first, then with other challenges.
This rule does not apply to casual play.
- You can't play back-to-back challenge rounds
against the same player or in a multi-player match
with the exact same opponents. A player can't
challenge you, lose to you, and immediately
challenge you again for another round. However, if
ALL parties agree, consecutive round challenges are
allowed. Challenges MUST be verbally agreed upon
at the beginning of EACH round.
- Any player with a higher Bag Tag number may
challenge any player with a lower Bag Tag number to
a round of disc golf. Challenges may be made in
person, by telephone or e-mail. The player receiving
the challenge can choose the course to be played. 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.
- Challenges are on a round-by-round basis when
playing recreational. Additional rules can be made
during casual play, provided that the rules are
agreed to prior to the beginning of the round by all
participants. During any organized event (excluding
doubles), the final tag order will be determined by
last round scores on your card. Side bets can be
made, but Card challenges still take priority.
- 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 $10.00.
- When a challenge via telephone, verbally, or e-mail
has been accepted, neither player can participate in
another challenge until the agreed upon match has
taken place.
- If you are found to be purposely concealing a Bag
Tag with a low number, or that you appear to be
refusing to carry your Bag Tag to avoid challenges,
you may be asked to surrender your Bag Tag. You
will switch tags with the last taken Bag Tag number
if you wish to continue to participate.
- Rules are subject to change and the LDGA charter
club members will decide all disputes. The LDGA
reserves the right to revoke your Bag Tag at our
discretion.
