First Available Novice League Bag Tags

The purpose of the Bag Tag is to add another fun element to personal, league, and tournament rounds of disc golf. Please display your Bag Tag where others can easily see it.

The Goal
Your goal is to have the lowest numbered Bag Tag possible and have fun along the way.

Rules
Players who “possess a current Bag Tag in hand” participate in challenges.
Players cannot avoid challenges by leaving the Bag Tag at home or by concealing your Bag Tag (see forfeiture).
Challenges are on a round-by-round basis; i.e. challenges are for one round only in a multiple round event.
Automatic Challenges (AC)
• Automatic challenge during any League, Tournament, or Casual/Recreational rounds, if any FA Bag Tag holder(s) are on your card (in group).
• The challenge does not need to be publicly announced or agreed upon before the start of the round–it is automatic!
• Players may not deny this challenge.
Casual Round Challenges (CRC)
Players may casually meet at a course OR agree to meet at a course/time to compete for bag tags in:
• Head-to-Head (me vs. you) challenges.
• Group Challenges, where multiple players each put a Bag Tag at stake during the group round.
• Players may not deny a challenge and then proceed to play a round (see forfeiture).
Proximity & Distance Challenges (PDC)– Event, League or, Tournament Play
FA players “competing in” (proximity) a coordinated Disc Golf event (official or casual) may agree beforehand to compete for Bag Tags while playing in separate cards/groups/divisions (distance), for a given round.
Example: “Let’s see who shoots a lower score in Round 1.”
Exception: Any Automatic Challenges take precedence over any challenge from another card. You must settle with your current card first.
Forfeiture
Each Bag Tag belongs to the entire group and should be accessible to all players within the group. Any player 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
• Refusing Automatic Challenges.
• Generally denying Bag Tag access to other players.

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 $5.00.
Rules are subject to change and the League Directors will decide all disputes. The First Available League Directors reserve the right to revoke your Bag Tag at our discretion.
