New thread for 2008 Bag Tag Challenge

The tags look like this (http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg151/LODGA/seguinandbagtags043.jpg?t=1202160352).

Tags will be $15.

Proceeds will go toward a mass bag tag challenge and BBQ at year end, and payout for top tag holders.

Final details still being worked out...

These babies will be on sale soon.

Does this come with the membership or is it on top of the membershoip?

Bag tags are Optional. :D

Thanks

can we pre pay

****, those are slick. /Me wants.

What's the ETA?

****, those are slick. /Me wants.

Me too. Do you have to be a member to get just a tag? (dumb question) Nice avatar there Geoff.

can we pre pay



Prepay, yes. Prechoose, no.


What's the ETA?



Soon. Very Soon.


Do you have to be a member to get just a tag?



Technically the tag should be available for challenges, but I suppose we will sell as many as people want to buy. :D

But I think what we will do is this:

This will be a blind draw. You pay your money you reach into the bag.

Members will get first shot at tags 1-30.

Non members can get in on subsequent blind draws, in lots of 10: tags 31-40, then 41-50, etc.

Sold quite a few tags this weekend.

5 gold tags still in the Members bag, including #1.

Non-Members are drawing from a separate bag, tags 31-50.

See me at a mini!

LODGA 2008 Bag Tag Challenge Rules

Have fun and follow the rules and spirit of disc golf. The purpose of the 2008 Bag Tag Challenge is to add another element to personal, league and tournament rounds of disc golf. Please display your Bag Tag where others can easily see it. You must have your Bag Tag with you to participate in any challenges and to be eligible for CTP prizes at LODGA Series events. Please do not avoid challenges by leaving your Bag Tag at home or by concealing your Bag Tag.

Your goal is to have the lowest numbered Bag Tag possible. When players participate in Bag Tag challenges, the player with the lowest round score earns the lowest numbered Bag Tag among the challengers. Bag Tags must be exchanged immediately following the round. In the event of a tie, the player who started with the lowest numbered Bag Tag will be awarded the lowest numbered Bag Tag. You may only challenge those with a 2008 LODGA Bag Tag; no other Bag Tags are eligible to participate in challenges. You must have your Bag Tag with you to challenge or accept challenges.

When you play any League, Tournament, or Recreational rounds of disc golf, you automatically have an individual or group challenge with all 2008 LODGA Bag Tag holders on your card. You may not deny this challenge. This challenge does not have to be publicly announced or agreed upon before the start of the round as it is automatic. You may not accept a challenge if you do not have your Bag Tag with you.

All challenges on your card take precedence over any challenge from another card. For example; if you have a challenge going with a person who is on another card, and you have an individual or group challenge going on your card, you have to settle with your card first and then you can settle any other challenges you may have.

Any member with a higher Bag Tag number may challenge any player with a lower Bag Tag number to a round of disc golf. Challenges may be made in person, by telephone or e-mail. The player receiving the challenge can choose the course to be played. If the challenger cannot agree to a reasonable time or date for the match within the coming week, the challenge is void and both players may look for new challenges. If the challenger has the lowest score for the round, the tags must be exchanged immediately following the round.

Challenges are on a round-by-round basis; i.e. challenges are for one round only in a multiple round event. You may, but do not have to accept a challenge from a player that you have just beaten until either player has completed another challenge or one week has passed, whichever comes first. This ability to deny challenges excludes automatic challenges that occur during a subsequent round of a multi-round event.

If you lose your 2008 LODGA Bag Tag, please report it immediately. You may then purchase the next lowest number Bag Tag available. Replacement tags, if available, will cost $6.00.

When a challenge via telephone or e-mail has been accepted, neither player can participate in another challenge until the agreed upon match has taken place.

Immediately following the 2008 LODGA Championships, prizes will be awarded to Bag Tag holders that competed in the Championships. There will be a prize for the competitor holding the lowest numbered Bag Tag after both the Amateur and Professional events. Additional Bag Tag prizes will be awarded at random. If funds are available, prizes may also be awarded to the lowest numbered Bag Tag holder(s) in each division.

If you are found to be purposely concealing a Bag Tag with a low number, or that you appear to be refusing to carry your Bag Tag to avoid challenges, you may be asked to surrender your Bag Tag. You may be allowed purchase a new Bag Tag if any remain available.

Rules are subject to change and disputes will be decided by the LODGA Executive Committee. The LODGA Executive Committee reserves the right to revoke your Bag Tag at their discretion.

Unfortunately I have discovered that the little brass clips on the bag tags are not too dependable. Luckily my tag fell into my bag, and was not lost.

Please safeguard your tag--replace that clip with a more reliable device. I recommend a towel ring.

thats what i use for all my gold. have to guard them as if your life depended on them :D

At last check, I had about 12 tags left.

BTW, Gold #9 still has not been pulled.

If you haven't gotten yours yet, don't wait too long!

not no more so if you want a tag better get it soon or wait until next year :o:D

I need one....what I got to do?....can I just take the last one So I don't have to pull it?

Saturday, December 13th - Universal City

Final Bag Tag challenge

Sign up by 9:00, 9:30 tee-off

Tournament style double elimination.

Entry fee - Free.
You must bring your bag tag to play. No tag, no play.

Proceeds from the bag tag sales will fund the cash payout.

We are thinking about "seeding" the event based on the current bag tag number each player holds. Low tag numbers get the top seeds, and have the advantage of playing their first round against a higher numbered tag holder.

Any thoughts on this?

By the way, I forgot to mention the format will be head to head match play. Winners advance to the next round, losers go into the consolation bracket.

We are still working this out, so any comments or opinions will be considered. Thanks!

9 holes rounds?

Yes, max of 9 holes per match, to keep things moving.

will there be 2 divisions? My first post

Not sure, but I will find out.

It might not work because it's double elimination.

Is there a cap on the number of players?

Yes, the event is limited to the number of players with bag tags who show up at 9:00. :D

Just curious if this is an all day thing ... let's say 32 people with tags show up ... we'd play one round of 9 holes to get from 32 to 16, one round to get from 16 to 8, one round to get from 8 to 4, one round to get from 4 to 2, and a final round to get from 2 to 1. That's 5 rounds of 9 holes, now factor in double elimination and that can bump that number up to 6 rounds of 9 holes. If a 33rd person shows up there is a potential for one peson to play 7 rounds. So there's a potential for someone to have to play 54 or 63 holes of golf to get 1st place? Is there enough time for that?

Suggestion ... split up Am and Pro so there are less total rounds to play and then split the cash up according to the number of players in each division. However even with that if more than 16 people show up in any division you are back in the same boat as above.

Will the "extra" holes be in effect?

I will pass those comments on to the T.D.

Personally I like the idea of two divisions, to give Ams a better chance at cashing.

I thought you where heading this up? Who's the TD?

I may be helping out, along with Carlos, but Ruben is running the event.

let's say 32 people with tags show up ... we'd play one round of 9 holes to get from 32 to 16, one round to get from 16 to 8, one round to get from 8 to 4, one round to get from 4 to 2, and a final round to get from 2 to 1. That's 5 rounds of 9 holes, now factor in double elimination and that can bump that number up to 6 rounds of 9 holes.



Hold on a sec, the double elimination should not increase the number of rounds to determine the winner, because the losers go into a consolation bracket. No winner would play anyone who lost in an earlier round.

SO if 32 players do show up, 5 rounds of 9 would be enough to get to #1. We should be able to get 3 rounds in before lunch, I would think.

So what happens to the people in the consolation bracket? Are they just playing to play?

No, they would be playing for cash too, although a reduced payout, of course.

Q: If I have tag #44, then can I start at -44? It would be my only chance.

UPDATE: Time and Place change!!!!!

Saturday, December 13th - Live Oak - Hole 28

Final Bag Tag challenge

Sign up by 8:00, 8:30 tee-off

Tournament style double elimination.

Entry fee - Free.
You must bring your bag tag to play. No tag, no play.

Proceeds from the bag tag sales will fund the cash payout.

If you are holding a bag tag, and do not plan to play in the final bag tag challenge, you may be able to sell your tag to someone who wants to play.

Contact me for details.

#11 was lost from my bag.....kinda weird......just lettin yah know

Want to know what you are playing for?

Cash payout: $300

Request from the TD: If you can get there a little early, that would help. Ruben will be at hole 28 between 7:30 and 7:45.

Is it winner take all?

No, not winner take all. Not sure how deep he is paying.

If you are holding a bag tag, and do not plan to play in the final bag tag challenge, you may be able to sell your tag to someone who wants to play.



I'll sell my tag to anyone interested for $100.

Last minute change - meet at hole 22 instead of 28.

Someone will be at 28 to redirect people. Sorry for the late notice, but 22 puts us in the middle of the two 9-hole courses we have set up.

So if you read this, go straight to hole 22 between the school property and the main park. We will be there no later than 7:45.
