2012-2013 DFOK Bag Tag League

Ben Nispel

Yeah, I think I'm going to pass on the freezing mud round tonight and grab $1 margaritas at El Mariachi's instead hah

Rick Petrie

You're a wise man. So far it's just me and some random dude that was here when I rolled in. No wait, he just drove off. LOL..

Mark Kewley

A Karma saved my bacon at the DUO.

Ben Nispel

But.. but.. The easy placements make me feel better about myself!

Kevin Clouse

haha! Ben I know but change is a good thing!

Damen W

mix em up....have easy and hard...

Rick Petrie

This is funny in so many ways. They have been in a "winter set-up".... Fear not though. They will return to a regularly scheduled monthly rotation.

Rick Petrie

I understand your point Josh, however the extremes are now where close to what we were experiencing this date last year. --> http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/2011-2012_Flint_Hills_Bag_Tag_League/leaderboards By Feb. last year we were up to tag #101 & had more extreme gaps. I'm sure we'll see alot more of this year's tags back in rotation when we go back to warm Wednesday nights.

With that said though, it kind of depends on what each person expects to get out of this league. Personally, I believe it's a great tool for building a greater local disc golf community.

With that said though, it kind of depends on what each person expects to get out of this league. Personally, I believe it's a great tool for building a greater local disc golf community. Not all players are going to be able to play every time we have a league round. However many of those players will be able to help us design & build more courses, help host events, help keep our courses clean & maintained, etc.

Josh Carroll

Very valid points. Happy to see the disc golf community moving upward and onward by leaps and bounds. But it's a bit of sulky feeling walking around with a couple of #40+ tags hanging off your bag. Just saying, I'm about to go Challenge mode and get some of these lower tags back in the mix, or revert to a Casual Tag and avoid the fuss :P

Rick Petrie

Josh, Please don't take my comments to be entirely directed at you. As you've seen, each year we have a new crop of players that need to hear about this "flaw" in bag tag leagues. Especially considering it may not actually be a flaw because it's present in every bag tag league out there... Yes, it ... more

Josh, Please don't take my comments to be entirely directed at you. As you've seen, each year we have a new crop of players that need to hear about this "flaw" in bag tag leagues. Especially considering it may not actually be a flaw because it's present in every bag tag league out there... Yes, it may be more apparent in our league because of our nomadic student & military population, but it's not unique to our league. To all who participate, please just look at is a microcosum of life in that you never know what opputunities the next day will bring... Or like a bite of swiss cheese in that you never know how many & how big the holes will be, but you learn to accept there will be holes. Thanks again to all who are reagular & steady participants, plus we look forward to the return (when possible) of all who are not.

I would point out that playing half as often, as we do during winter (and on weekends, too) makes it at least twice as likely that people will be unable to defend their tags due to other conflicts. I've been out of town for work-related stuff the past two league rounds. So therefore it's -- unfortun ... more

I would point out that playing half as often, as we do during winter (and on weekends, too) makes it at least twice as likely that people will be unable to defend their tags due to other conflicts. I've been out of town for work-related stuff the past two league rounds. So therefore it's -- unfortunately -- been 4 weeks since I last played a tag round. And it will be another two weeks until I get the chance to do so! Definitely not what I would prefer....

Jon Tveite

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that any conflict causes twice the impact, in terms of people holding onto their tags.

Josh Carroll

I understand that it's difficult to find time to make rounds, especially during these winter months. I'm more or less concerned with the players that I've never met or have only seen at one league round back in August/September and then disappear. Okay, haha, done venting my frustrations. I shoul ... more

I understand that it's difficult to find time to make rounds, especially during these winter months. I'm more or less concerned with the players that I've never met or have only seen at one league round back in August/September and then disappear. Okay, haha, done venting my frustrations. I should know that a mere Tag # does not define my disc golf game and that I should just enjoy the fun competition that the game brings. Rant over :P

Robert Adams

Well, I'm in the middle of the California desert right now, or else I'd be there, haha.

Josh Carroll

I'm not going to start listing names, but Rob and Jon, you guys are hardly part of the problem. Let's just say, if you're on DiscGolfScene active in this discussion, you're probably not the one(s) I'm referring to.

Jon Tveite

I didn't feel accused, Josh, and I wasn't defending myself. I just thought I'd throw that out there. Winter is different. But I understand the concern about tags becoming frozen.

Ben Nispel

Registered and ready to go! Thanks Kev

Kevin RevKev Clark

Thumbs Up!

Rick Petrie

Yes. Since it's the first Sunday of the month. (December had a rare & bonus 5th Sunday)

Kevin Clouse

Did anybody ever figure out what the little number under your recent scores means? If you go to My Profile it shows your recent scores and then a number under it...? Totally off subject but just wondering

Robert Adams

I wanna say it's where your score compares to the average score posted in DGS for that course.

Rick Petrie

Yep. Check in by 1:15p. Tee time 1:30p
