Bag Tag Challenges rules
Richmond County Disc Golf Group – Bag Tag Challenge Rules
The purpose of the Bag Tag Challenge is to encourage friendly competition between members of the Richmond County Disc Golf Group. Have fun within the rules of the game and remember that it is just a tag so respect the challenge and challenger.
Challenge Rules/Conduct
1. Current RCDGG members who possess a bag tag in hand may issue/schedule/participate in challenges.
2. Any player with a higher Bag Tag number can challenge a member with a lower bag tag number.
3. The challenged player will have no more than one week to play a round with the challenger. If there is not a time that works for the two parties then the challenge is void and no tags are swapped.
4. All RCDGG tag holders will have a maximum of TWO WEEKS to participate in a RCDGG Tag Challenge. If a player does not participate in a tag challenge or league within TWO WEEKS, the players current tag will be put into play of the next tag challenge and the player will receive the highest number tag in play.
5. Players CANNOT avoid a challenge by leaving their bag tag at home or stuffed in their bag. Refusing to accept the challenge will result in the forfeiture of your tag to the challenger. (Further forfeiture rules below)
6. In the case of a tie, the winner is to be the player with the lowest bag tag number at the beginning of the round. However, IF ALL players agree before the round starts; a play-off hole(s) can be used as a tiebreaker for the tie. The hole to be used for the tiebreaker is to be determined prior to the round beginning.
7. Incomplete Round: if a player cannot finish the round then the exiting player must swap his/her tag with the highest tag number. If play is stopped by ALL players prior to the end of the round then no bag tags will be swapped (weather, daylight, etc.).
8. Bag tags must be swapped immediately following the conclusion of the round played.
9. Challenges can be made in person, by phone, or through the RCDGG Facebook page. However, all challenges and the scores of the challenges are to be made public to the group within 24 hours of completion. If a player continually to participate in tag challenges without making the scores public then said player will be suspended from tag challenges for a predetermined time period.
10. Challenges are on a round-by-round basis and will not include more than one round of play. Also, no challenges can be made back to back. A player cannot challenge you, lose to you, and immediately challenge you again for another round. However, if ALL parties agree, consecutive round challenges are allowed.
11. Doubles rounds WILL NOT be included in any bag tag challenges unless ALL parties of at least two teams in a group own a bag tag and agree to the challenge.
Rankings
1. Bag Tag rankings can only change due to the results of a challenge or tournament play.
2. Rankings to start a new calendar year will be decided by an end of year RCDGG Championships in order of finish. The lowest score gets the lowest tag number. Players joining after this event will receive the lowest available tag.
Please contact Chris McDonald if you would like or know anyone that would like to receive a RCDGG Tag.
Forfeiture
1. Each Bag Tag belongs to the ENTIRE club membership and should be accessible to all club members. Any club 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 club officers).
2. Bad Sportsmanship, littering, and damage to the course will also warrant forfeiture of your tag and membership to the club. Any member found to be associated with any of these actions will be removed and not allowed to participate in any other club ran events. Any actions confirmed by the removed individual after the removal from the club will be reported to the local authorities.
3. As noted by Rule
4 in the Challenge Rules/Conduct section any player than does not participate in a tag challenge within TWO WEEKS of receiving the tag or playing a tag challenge, the current tag will be put into play of the next tag challenge and the player will receive the highest number tag in play.
