CDGA Bag Tag Challenge Rules
Conduct
Everyone is on their honor to conduct themselves according to the rules and within the spirit of competition. Have fun. It's only a tag. The purpose of the Bag Tag Challenge is to encourage friendly competition among Chautauqua Disc Golf members.
Tag Membership will cost $15/season.
Bag Tags will be the property of CDGA and everyone shall have access to all tags. example: #30 can challenge #1 at any time.
In order for the Bag Tag Challenge to work, all challenges must be accepted.
Each player must have their Bag Tag at all times. Bag Tags must be plainly visible and can not be hidden.
Challenges are to be made by choosing times and courses that are reasonable.
Friendly side wagers of any kind can be made at the discretion of the participants, but are NOT required.
Challenges
Challenges will run from July 20th through December 14th. All tags will be submitted on or after December 14th to a league administrator for storage and redistribution the next season.
The higher Bag Tag holder challenges the lower Bag Tag holder. Challenges can be by phone, computer, or in person. It is preferred to use the bag tag challenge channel on Discord (
https://discord.gg/RHgCk2U).
The challenged player must give the challenger two (2) times to meet in the next two (2) weeks or they must forfeit the tag. If the challenger can not meet that timeline, the challenge is void. Not showing up for a match results in a forfeit. (20 minute leeway)
The challenger picks the course, tees and format. Format choices include: stroke play or match play but no doubles/triples etc. of any kind. PDGA rules apply. If the challenger wins the round, the tags are exchanged.
Ties are won by the holder of the lower bag tag 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 tie-breaker using sudden death rules.
You don't have to play back-to-back challenge rounds against the same player or in a multiplayer 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.
Incomplete round: If a player does not complete a bag tag challenge round, the existing player should trade tags with the player with the highest tag number. If play is stopped by all players before the round is complete, no tags are exchanged. This could be due to hazardous weather, physical emergency or mutual agreement.
Multiple people at the same course at the same time can have a group challenge with no limit to players, as long as the round can be completed. Play proceeds as if it were a tournament.
TOURNAMENTS: All MUST participate in challenges at a tournament. The tags are thrown into a pool and distributed by score at the end of the tourney not round by round. No sudden death to decide ties and final nine rounds/playoffs exempt from challenges.
Players using different tees in tournaments are competing against only other players using the same tee format..
