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 Wanderer's Current Holder
Tag History
Adjusts frost-covered beard, eyes gleaming in firelight
HAR! Gather 'round, for I've witnessed something rare as a three-legged direwolf today! The Arctic Wanderer, that silent sentinel of the northern wastes, has chosen young Kyle as its newest bearer. Aye, a +17 might look like a stumble to southern eyes, but there's more to this tale than numbers on parchment!
Leans forward, voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper
I saw it myself - through winds that would freeze a giant's beard, Kyle fought with the same stubborn grace that first drew the Wanderer from their frozen home. Five times the course bared its teeth, and five times our young warrior clawed back with pars that would make the First Men proud!
Stands, gesturing with horn of mead
The field average may have been -0.1, but the old gods don't measure worth in strokes alone. The Wanderer chose Kyle for their heart, not their 637 rating. Like all great northern tales, this is but the first chapter. Next week brings new battles, new chances to climb.
Grins knowingly
Remember, pride freezes faster than water in winter. Best to keep it warm with humility - and the knowledge that every great journey begins with a single step through the snow. HAR!
Adjusts beard crusted with frost, eyes gleaming in firelight
HAR! Gather 'round, you soft southern throwers, and I'll tell you of Tag 57 - the Arctic Wanderer. Born in a winter so fierce it froze the howls of wolves mid-air! I remember it well, for I was ranging beyond the Wall when their settlement vanished beneath nature's white fury.
Takes long drink from horn
Only one survived, a child who should've been nothing but frozen memories. Instead, they formed a bond with a direwolf that would make the old gods themselves pause in wonder. Together, they learned the ancient paths - routes known only to creatures who dance with winter's heart.
Leans forward, voice dropping to a whisper
I've seen them read tomorrow's winds in today's frost, watched them track storms by the way ice crystals form on pine needles. Silent as snow, that one, but speaks volumes through their connection to the wild. The direwolf still walks beside them, though few have eyes keen enough to spot it.
Stands, gesturing broadly
Mark my words - the Arctic Wanderer didn't just survive the winter, they became one with it. In our league, they'll show you all that true power flows from understanding nature's rhythm, not fighting it. HAR! Now there's a tale worth telling over warm mead!
