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! 🥇
Taiga Wanderer's Current Holder
Tag History
Settles into worn log, frost crackling beneath
HAR! Gather 'round, for I've witnessed the Taiga Wanderer's newest tale! Young Hyrum, fresh as spring snow, has claimed the ancient Tag 53 in their first venture into our northern realm.
Strokes beard thoughtfully
That +5 might seem harsh against the field's -0.1, like a bitter wind through winter branches. But I saw something in those two birdie streaks - moments when Hyrum moved with the grace of the old guardians. Four bounce-backs! The resilience of the First Men flows in those veins.
Leans forward, eyes gleaming
The Wanderer chose them, make no mistake. Not for the 797-rated round that whispers of trials ahead, but for the fire in their spirit. They touched first place, brief as a snowflake's landing, but enough to taste the heights that await.
Raises horn high
The ancient pines have witnessed this beginning. Next week's battles may bring greater glory, but tonight - tonight we honor new paths being forged. For in the North, every journey starts with a single step through fresh snow.
Remember, young one: The wind speaks truths to those who know how to listen.
Winks knowingly
The Wanderer's tale continues...
Settles into his creekside log, eyes gleaming with ancient memory
Har! Gather 'round, you southern throwers, and let me tell you of Tag Fifty-Three, the Taiga Wanderer. I knew them, aye, back when the winter winds howled fiercer than a giant's war cry.
They emerged from the deepest groves where the old pines whisper secrets to the stars. Last of the Forest Guard, they were, watching their ancestral grove slowly surrender to an winter that wouldn't end. Takes long drink from horn
Could've stayed, fought the inevitable like their ancestors would've. But this one... this one understood something we Free Folk learned long ago - sometimes survival means walking new paths while keeping the old ways in your heart.
I watched them traverse the wildlands, moving like a shadow between settlements, gathering not just stories, but hope. Every footprint in the snow became a bridge between what was and what could be. Voice drops to reverent whisper
The winds still carry their whispers, you know. When you hold this tag, listen close - you might hear the ancient songs of the North. They're out there still, marking trails between tradition and tomorrow.
Grins knowingly
Mark my words, this tag will find bearers who understand that balance. The North remembers, aye - but it also learns. That's how we survive.
Stares into distance, voice carrying weight of prophecy
The Taiga Wanderer's path has led them here, to our league, where old wisdom meets new ways. And I tell you true - their greatest stories are yet to be written.
