Conduct
1. 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 CNYDGA members.
2. In order for the Bag Tag Challenge to work, all challenges must be accepted.
3. Each player must have their Bag Tag at the beginning of any challenge round. Bag Tags must be plainly visible and cannot be hidden.
4. The results of tag rounds will be monitored on discgolfscene.com. Concerns will be addressed by the CNYDGA Tag Challenge League coordinator. If you are abusing the rules your tag privileges will be provoked.
5. Challenges are to be made by choosing times and courses that are reasonable.
6. Tourney/course specific rules are to be followed and if they're altered in any way it must be agreed to by all players PRIOR to starting a tag round.
7. Friendly side wagers of any kind can be made at the discretion of the participants, but are NOT required.
Challenges
1. Challenges may be made until 12/1/14. That is when the 2014 Tag Challenge will officially end.
2. One on One challenges will be completed using the following protocol:
• The higher Bag Tag challenges the lower Bag Tag. Challenges can be by phone, computer, or in person.
• 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 cannot meet that timeline, the challenge is void. Not showing up for a match results in a forfeit. (30 minute leeway)
• The challenged player 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 (see details below). If the challenger wins the round, the tags are exchanged.
• Ties are won by the individual holding the lower bag tag at the beginning of the round. However, if ALL players agree a play-off hole(s) can be used as a tie-breaker using sudden death or CTP rules.
3. Any other format may be used (singles, wolf, skins, etc.) as a challenge round. Best shot or any other team based format may NOT be used as a challenge round.
• Any individual in the group may issue a challenge. If a challenge is issued, all individuals with a tag must put there tag in.
• You may still play with the group if you do not have a tag (have not paid for a tag), but you will not receive a tag at the completion of the round.
4. Tournaments are handled using the following protocol:
• All individuals with a tag MUST participate in challenges at a tournament. No Match Play unless tournament is Match Play.
• 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 are exempt from challenges.
• Tags will not be used for doubles play or League Night.
5. You don't have to play back-to-back challenge rounds against the same player or in a multi-player 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.
6. Incomplete round: If a player does not complete a bag tag challenge round, the exiting player shall 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.
