LDGA Bag Tag
Challenge
All LDGA members are eligible to participate in the LDGA
Bag Tag Challenge.  After obtaining Membership, players
will be assigned the highest number of the unassigned
Bag Tags.
Bag Tag Challenge Rules
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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)
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
