85 players competed in this years ADGO Match Play Finals to battle it out to conclude this years 10 month season! Congrats to Isaac Robinson for his victory and claiming this years #1 tag among some strong local competition from some of Atlanta's top golfers! We couldn't have had better weather for a December Sunday as the field was electric and pumped all day. Matches started a few minutes after 8am and by 11am the Final 32 along with the ADGO sponsored Doubles were under way! The entire day proceeded MUCH FASTER than expected (ran approx 2 hours ahead of schedule) as a 2nd round of casual doubles started at 2pm while the final pairing was wrapped up by 3pm!

CTPete Charlton started the day off with a skip ACE on hole 2, first throw and hole of the event with a large gallery watching!

Kim Collins ACED hole 6!

Daniel Keefe ACED hole 12 to knock out Nathan Garner on their first play-off hole in round 5!

I would like to take this time to thank those involved in making my first year as ADGO Bag Tag Administrator a success as I could have not done this on my own.....

Thank you to all 200 players that signed up and kept the season alive all year by playing for tags at local events and during casual play!

Thank you to our Action Team... Craig Dickerson, Martin Young, Patrick Gwin, Derek Hollis, Lidiane Smith, Barry Arnson and Matt Dollar for running tags at tournaments and helping coordinate and facilitate this years Finals!

Thank you to Martin Young for coordinating and executing his FIVE Bag Tag Invitationals which helped cover the cost of ALL the food/drink provided for the Finals!

Thank you to all the TD's for allowing us to play for tags at your events and supporting us while we use your Tournament Central to run our Action!

Thank you to Bryan Gort for his assistance in filling out the Finals Bracket to help ensure check-in went smooth and Matches started on time!
Having required pre-registration and the brackets filled out BEFORE the Finals was CRUCIAL to the days success!

Thank you to Little Flyer for supplying the tags for the 9th straight year for our league!

We look forward to making the 10th ADGO Bag Tag Season in 2016 the BIGGEST and BEST yet!

The 2015 ADGO Bag Tag Finals will take place over 2 days on
Saturday AND Sunday December 12th and 13th

Day 1 Saturday (Sunday Qualifier Match Play) – Day 2 Sunday (Finals Match Play)

All 200 tags will be invited to play at 2 courses around Atlanta with 100 player caps similar the Kick-Off in February with pre-registration being managed through the Disc Golf Scene website.

Of the 100 at each course only the Top 32 will advance to play on Sunday at Redan

EVERY player that qualifies for Sunday is guaranteed to cash as we are paying out the Top 64. If you choose to not play on Sunday, you will default to baseline payout of $20 if you are in the Top 32 from Saturday.

Base Payout for the Finals has been set at $3,000. The ADGO Action Team is working on growing the payout by holding monthly Bag Tag Invitational events at various courses around Atlanta. Each player that attends one of these monthly events has to pay a $3 entry fee (non bag tag players are welcome to pay and play too and get in on any additional side action). The base payout will be updated periodically as the payout amounts change as the cash pool grows

Base Payout will be:

1st - $400
2nd - $300
3rd - $225
4th - $125
5th to 10th - $75 ($450)
11th to 16th - $50 ($300)
17th to 32nd - $35 ($560)
33rd to 64th - $20 ($640)

ALL 200 TAGS now have a name attached to them and the 2015 player roster is complete and entered on Disc Golf Scene!
As a reminder, please do NOT submit challenge rounds played OR tag updates if it does NOT involve a TOP 30 tag. Doing this will not only help with the administration of this league and the 200 players but will free up YOUR time to not be worrying about submitting entries to the league page after EVERY round played across Atlanta!
Just get out there, have fun and start tracking down those TOP 30's and getting THEM to the course!
Preesh!

The 2015 ADGO Bag Tag season in under way! Here are a few reminders that will help you have more fun this year if they were not discussed at each events players meetings.....

1) You are NOT required to enter challenge matches on a day to day basis. It would be advised that if you are in a challenge with a Top 30 tag that you enter those rounds in just so the league can keep tabs on who has a Top 30 tag from week to week. My Bag Tag Team will be gathering tags at weekend events and entering the rounds and tag updates for the league. Doing this ONLY on the weekends will "some what" update the Leader Board on a weekly basis. We want the league players to have FUN and go out and challenge and not have to carry the burden of... "Oh, man I have to get these scores entered when I get home!" Ain't nobody got time for that!

2) If you don't have a Disc Golf Scene profile it is HIGHLY recommended that you create one. This way you can get credit for the rounds you play during this league and you will be able to accrue a history of events you play in and be able to link yourself to weekend tournaments!

If there are any questions please do not hesitate to get a hold of me, Barry or another Action Team Member through here or on Facebook.

Have FUN, be SAFE and play FAIR!

The dates have been marked and the courses have been set to launch the 2015 Atlanta Area Bag Tag Challenge! Barry and I have decided to involve four (4) different courses across Metro Atlanta over two (2) days to get 200 TAGS onto the bags of players around town!
Here are the dates, courses, times and BT-Team members assigned for the weekend of February 21st and 22nd....

2/21/2015 10am @ JPM (Mike Haney/Barry Arnson - TD)
2/21/2015 2pm @ Oregon (Craig Dickerson/Dustin Penwright - TD)
2/22/2015 10am @ Deer Lick (Martin Young/Barry Arnson - TD)
2/22/2015 2pm @ LMP (Ryan Watson/Dustin Penwright - TD)

We will be dividing tags among the 4 parks evenly with no one park getting consecutive numbers (i.e. 1-50 or 51-100 and so on). Each park will get every 4th tag. For example, on Saturday JPM will get every 4th tag starting with #001 and Oregon will get every 4th tag starting with #003. On Sunday, Deer Lick will get every 4th tag starting with #002 and LMP will get every 4th tag starting with #004.
I will be making four SEPARATE events through DGS and the FIRST 50 players to sign up at each event will play that day and time. This is to not have any one park get overwhelmed with a flood of players in any one specific area and time and to also allow flexible scheduling for those that work or plan family time on the weekends.
With this being said, players will only be allowed to choose ONE event to attend over the weekend. If you play on Saturday morning you can NOT attend Saturday afternoon and at all on Sunday. We want these events to FOCUS on getting tags out to the players and not have to worry about dealing with more than 50 players at any course at any time. Only players that check in with the TD's will play for that event time. Players can start challenging others AFTER the events but no going to another event this weekend.
Looking forward to kicking off 2015 in style!
