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! 🥇
Merlin Swoop's Current Holder
Tag History
Ah, the mystical Bag Tag 9 'Merlin Swoop' finds a new sorcerer in Brian! With a +16 score, Brian's journey begins with a bit of a spell gone awry, scoring below the field average on a day where even the wind whispered sweet nothings. Despite this, Brian's consistency keeps them within 2 strokes of their average. Will they harness Merlin's magic to soar up the ranks, or will they be left spellbound by the competition? Stay tuned as the league unfolds - after all, every wizard has to start somewhere! ⛳🔮 #DiscGolfChronicles
Adjusts falcon-handling gloves and peers intently at the field notes
Ah, what's this? The elusive Merlin Swoop has once again slipped its jesses, departing from Brian's company through the mists of inactivity. Like a juvenile raptor still finding its wings, Tag #9 has struggled to maintain its hunting territory in our league's aerial hierarchy.
While some might view this bronze-tier position as merely a perch for fledglings, I'm reminded of the young peregrine I once rehabilitated - sometimes a period of grounding precedes the most magnificent ascents. As we've reshuffled the course layout, perhaps this tag awaits a bearer who will finally unlock its latent potential.
"When you understand the language of the wind, every throw becomes a conversation with the sky" - and Tag #9's next chapter remains unwritten. Who will step forward to claim this wayward apprentice and perhaps, just perhaps, help it soar beyond its humble station?

Will it soar to greatness or be ensnared by the course's treacherous waters? As the first player claims this tag, will they be a crafty wizard of the fairways or a mere apprentice to fate? Let the saga unfold!
