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! 🥇
Arctic Nomad's Current Holder
Tag History
Settles beside crackling fire, frost-rimmed beard catching firelight
HAR! Gather 'round, for I've witnessed something rare as a gentle giant - the Arctic Nomad has chosen young Jared as its bearer!
Through winds that would chill southern bones, the lad battled. Aye, that +3 might seem harsh against the field's -0.1, like a fresh ranger's first night on the Wall. But the Nomad... leans forward, voice dropping ...the Nomad sees something we don't.
I watched him fight through five troubles with the stubborn grace of a direwolf. That 823-rated round? thunderous laugh Just winter's first test! The Nomad chooses those with potential, not just performance. They see the fire burning beneath the ice.
Raises horn high
Mark my words - this pairing has the old magic in it. The North remembers, and the North teaches. Next week's challenges await, but for now... for now, we celebrate a new guardian of our ancient ways!
Eyes glinting like starlight on fresh snow
The journey's just begun, young wolf. Just begun...
Settles into a creaking chair beside the clubhouse firepit, frost-tinged beard catching firelight
HAR! Gather 'round, you southern throwers. Let me tell you of Tag #50, the Arctic Nomad. I knew them, aye, back when the winds spoke only to those desperate enough to listen.
They came from the ice-runners, those mysterious folk who could read tomorrow's weather in today's frost patterns. Last of their kind, they were, after their clan vanished in that terrible winter - the one that had the old-timers whispering of the Long Night's return.
Takes long drink from horn
Survived alone, they did, learning secrets even we Free Folk whisper about. The way they move... still as frozen time itself. Like watching winter take human form. I've seen them predict storms by the way ice crystals catch starlight, find safe paths through blizzards that would swallow lesser souls.
Leans forward, voice dropping
The tag chose them, mark my words. Just as the North chose me. Some say they're too distant, too caught in old ways. But I tell you this - when winter truly comes, you'll want one who remembers the ancient wisdom of ice and wind.
Stands, gesturing to the aurora-lit sky
Watch them closely in our league. The old magics still run strong in their throws, and the North... the North remembers.
