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! 🥇
Red-tail Swish's Current Holder
Tag History
Adjusts falcon-leather gloves and peers through weathered binoculars
Ah, what a fascinating first flight we've witnessed! The prestigious Red-tail Swish has chosen Tyler as its newest bearer, though their inaugural hunt proved challenging in these treacherous conditions. Like a young raptor testing its wings, Tyler soared to a +14, dancing above the field's +9.2 thermal current. Though their 846-rated performance dipped 69 points below their usual hunting altitude, remember - even the mightiest peregrine must first learn the wind's secrets.

Red-tail Swish, ever the methodical artist, seems to be testing Tyler's resilience. Will they master the tag's signature Twilight Spiral? As I've observed countless times in my years studying nature's aerial masters: "Sometimes you must fold your wings before you can truly soar."
The hunt continues next week, fellow observers. Watch the skies...
