How Bag Tags Work in Our League 🥏
Bag tags are a fun way to track player rankings and add a competitive edge to our disc golf league. Here's how they work:
- 🏷️ Tag Assignment: Each player is assigned a unique bag tag with a number and custom artwork. Lower numbers are better!
- 🎯 Up for Grabs: In each league event, all participating players' bag tags are "up for grabs."
- 📊 Ranking by Performance: After the event, bag tags are redistributed based on players' scores. The best-performing player gets the lowest-numbered tag, and so on.
- 🔄 Tag Exchanges: If you outperform a player with a lower-numbered tag, you'll exchange tags with them.
- 🛡️ Defending Your Tag: If you perform well enough to keep your current tag number or better, you've successfully "defended" your tag.
- ⏳ Inactive Tags: If you miss two league events in a row, you forfeit your tag.
- 🆕 New Players: Newcomers receive their tag at the end of the list after their first event.
🏆 Tiebreaker Rules:
In case of ties, we use the following criteria to determine tag distribution:
- Number of league events played in the current league (more is better)
- Average score across all events played in the current league (lower is better)
- PDGA number (lower is better)
🏁 End of Season: At the end of the season, your final bag tag will be permanently displayed on your ElevateUT Disc Golf Leagues account as a testament to your performance.
Remember, bag tags are all about friendly competition and bragging rights. Good luck, and may the best player earn the #1 tag! 🥇
Kite Swirl's Current Holder
Tag History
Adjusts falcon-handled microphone, eyes gleaming with analytical intensity
Ah, what fascinating aerial dynamics we witnessed tonight! Like a red-tailed hawk adjusting to unexpected thermals, Sean's capture of the prestigious Kite Swirl speaks to the unpredictable nature of our sport. That +15 may soar above our field average of 9.2, but as any seasoned falconer knows, sometimes the most meaningful hunts aren't about raw efficiency.
The 837-rated performance tells only part of the story - what I observed was a predator learning the winds of our redesigned hunting grounds. While 51 points below their usual soaring altitude, Sean demonstrated the patience of a hovering kestrel, particularly on that remarkable second-place finish on hole 8.
"Sometimes you must fold your wings before you can truly soar," as we say in falconry. Kite Swirl, that perpetually coveted prize, has found itself in the talons of a bearer who, like our ancient Talon Masters, understands that mastery comes through adaptation. Will Sean unlock this tag's legendary potential? The winds of change continue to sweep across our realm...
