***** PLEASE READ - NEW LEAGUE RULES FOR 2016 *****

2016 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)

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 to #50 tags that you at least play a challenge once every couple weeks to keep the low tags moving

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... NO TIE BREAKERS!

8. The current tag set will remain active until the FINALS pre-registration ends on (TBD). There will ONLY be 350 TAGS available for the 2016 season. 300 Tags will be launched during Kick-Off Weekend on Feb 20th and 21st with 50 tags available at 6 courses. The remaining 50 tags will be available for "lost tags" and season "walk-ups" once the initial 300 Kick-Off tags are SOLD.

9. DO NOT LOSE YOUR TAG!!! We are only ordering an extra 50 tags to be sold once the initial 300 Kick-Off tags are gone. These extra 50 will be for "lost tags" and season "walk-ups" during the 8 month season. All tags, regardless if they are being replaced due to being "lost" or if you are a first time tag holder, will be sold for $20. So I can not stress this enough.... DO NOT LOSE YOUR TAG!!!!

10. Once you buy into the league, you are in the league for the entire season. Players will NOT be permitted to sell their tag to another person because they "don't have time" or "I'm not going to make The Finals" excuses. Please ask yourself, do I really want to spend this $20 for 8 months of friendly competition regardless if I am going to play often or even in the year end Finals event. Once you pay the league your dues, that tag and your spot in this league are PERMANENT!

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

12. This is potentially a $6,000 payout league! The league will conclude on SUNDAY NOVEMBER 13th 2016 at Redan Park. Details on the Finals will be announced no LATER than October 15th 2016!

***13. You will NOT have to log CASUAL rounds that are played outside of formally organized events on a daily basis (but you may still do so if you want to). The purpose of this is because there is no real reason to do it. Your tag will be checked in AND verified by an ADGO Action Team Member at tournaments and updated on the Leaderboard FOR the field. It will be and is a given that players bag tag numbers will NOT match the Leaderboard. This discrepancy will not matter as long as the Action Team is doing everything in correct order from verifying tags at check in, compiling correct scores, handing out tags to the right players and submitting all the proper TAG UPDATES and scores within 24 hours after the event has ended.

***13(a) It is STRONGLY recommended that if you are in a challenge match against a Top 50 tag, to please post those rounds to the Leaderboard so the league has a good idea of the whereabouts of the top tags.

***14. Bag Tag challenges during tournaments are AUTOMATIC. This year there will be an ADGO Action Team (10 Members) which will be responsible for all tournament tag activities within the Metro Atlanta Area. All tournament challenges taking place outside of the Metro Atlanta area around the state will be coordinated on a weekend to weekend basis provided an Action Team Member will NOT be present at that event. This will include 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 onto the Leaderboard for the league. Tournament bag tag challenges will be based on the cumulative score and not from round to round. If you have to withdraw from the tournament for any reason Rule 6 will be in effect.

15. The $100 Ace Pool (sponsored by the ADGO) will only be in effect during any organized Bag Tag Invitational ONLY. Ace Pool splits if hit between multiple players at any ONE event and carries over to the next event if NOT hit. Ace Pool max per event is $100 and does NOT continually add over the course of the season. Maximum allowance from the ADGO for the Ace Pool over the length of the 2016 Bag Tag Season will be $300.

16. This league utilizes www.discgolfscene.com to keep track of the league standings and player information. It will be ADVISED you have a Disc Golf Scene profile made to keep up current league news, updates, and information regarding YOUR bag tag league as this will be the ONLY place to find said info online.

17. Last but not least the most IMPORTANT rule... Have fun, be safe and play fair!
