2013 Rules of Engagement

1. Tags must be attached to bags or carts and carried whenever you are playing

2. You may challenge anyone carrying a tag.

3. The challenge must be accepted by each participating player to be valid

4. You may refuse a challenge if you are out practicing (this is acceptable occasionally), OR you are in a tournament and you have already accepted a challenge from another player not on your card.

5. You may not hide when you have a lower number tag (if it is found that you are doing this you probably will be called an assortment of names) It would be advisable if you have the #1 tag that you at least play a challenge once a month.

6. If you have to leave during a challenge round (for any reason) you will forfeit your tag and graciously accept the highest numbered tag in the group

7. In the case of a tie, the player who held the lowest numbered tag prior to the match would receive the lower numbered tag and so on

8. The current tag set (2012) will remain active until the Final tournament sometime in December 2013.

9. If you lose your tag you may be able to PURCHASE a new one (depending upon availability for $5.00) . Additional chains are $1.00

10. Anyone caught cheating or holding out (purposely not bringing your tag) will be dealt with by the local players and I will make sure everyone finds out about it.

11. Bag Tag matches during tournaments are automatic, provided someone runs the action. This includes getting everyone’s tag before the first round, tallying everyone’s scores, getting tags distributed at the end of the tournament, and entering the results in the website. If I am playing in a tournament, I will run the action. Tournament bag tag challenges are usually based on the cumulative score (all rounds totaled), but each round can be an challenge by itself if desired.
If entering a tournament challenge based on a cumulative score, you will most likely have to have a tag update recorded also. This is because the tag order will automatically update based on the last rounds results. You can either enter a Tag Update, or post the cumulative scores for everyone in the Notes field of one of the rounds.

12. I utilize http://www.discgolfscene.com/ to keep track of the league standings. If you don’t already have an account there, please sign up for one using the email address you have given me. The account is free. If you use the email address you supplied me, your account will automatically be linked to the 2013 ADGO Bag Tag League http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/2013_Atlanta_Bag_Tag_League .

13. You will enter challenge matches on http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/2013_Atlanta_Bag_Tag_League/post_score. Once a match is entered I will get an email to verify the match. After I verify the match, the results will be displayed on the website and any tag updates will be made. Please enter the matches promptly so the database stays updated accurately. I generally check the site each day for matches that need verification.
Please only one person enter the match(s). A good rule of thumb is, the winner enters the match. Duplicate entries generally result in a delay in the match getting verified, until I can check with BOTH people who entered the scores.
