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! 🥇
Tag History
Settles into a creaky wooden chair, frost-touched beard catching firelight
Har! Gather 'round, you southern disc-flingers, and hear the tale of the Boreal Guardian. I was but a young wildling when the old ones first whispered of its birth, during the winter that near swallowed the world whole.
Picture it - a hundred of the North's finest warriors, backs against a dying Weirwood, as winter's teeth gnashed at the realm of men. Takes long drink from horn
They did what we Northerners have always done - they fought. But not with steel, no. They gave their very essence to the tree, their spirits merging with its ancient magic. The ice itself responded, you see. Voice drops to reverent whisper
From that sacrifice emerged the Boreal Guardian, number 58 in our league, but first among the watchers of winter. Silent as falling snow, wise as the old gods themselves. I've seen its work - frost patterns guiding lost souls home, winter winds shifting just so to save a foolhardy traveler.
Leans forward, eyes glinting
Now it tests disc golfers in our league, seeking those with the true North in their hearts. The Guardian's power flows through tag 58, marking those worthy of winter's wisdom.
Remember this when you grip that plastic, friends - you throw not just for score, but under the watching eyes of ancient power. The Boreal Guardian remembers. And winter... winter is always coming.
Settles back, grinning through frozen beard
HAR! Now, who's got more of that southern mead?
