2005 DISContinuum Bag Tag Challenge

[CEValkyrie]

Bag tags will be distributed on 01-09-05 as long as they arrive on time. The process will be held after leagues approximately 1:00PM. If the tags don't arrive as planned another league date will be selected.

For those of you that don't know, leather tags have been ordered. They will be laser engraved. Mirth, can you please post a picture of the tag on this thread?



Here is how the tags will be distributed.

50 Tags have been ordered & they have now sent 6 free tags because of the late arrival. So there are 56 total tags now.

A)
Anyone who has paid their 2005 membership and is present for the distribution after leagues will draw a ticket. You can pay dues that day & be eligible for the drawing.

Here is the scenario. If there are 10 paid members present, there will be 10 tickets in the hat. Each ticket will represnt tags 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. You match your ticket to the corresponding bag tag.

B )
Anyone not present but has paid their 2005 membership will participate in the 2nd drawing.

We will cotinue to use the scenario above. If there are 10 paid members not present there will now be 10 tickets in the hat. Each of these tickets will represent tags 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20. The club officers will be selecting the tickets. They will be handed out at a later date or mailed to those members who are not in the area often.

C)
Using the same scenario above. The last 30 tags are still available. 30 tickets will be placed in a jar. #'s 21 thru 50 will be in there. As membership/tags are purchased, that participant will draw a ticket. They will match their ticket to the corresponding bag tag.

There is a good possibility that the tags will NOT be here this weekend. They are being shipped today. Sorry for the delay. If the do arrive, Mirth will post and the drawing will take place this Sunday. If not, the drawing will take place on 01-16-05.

[CEValkyrie]

Oops. So ready for tournament season I skipped right over the summer to fall. Ha .

In a negative and selfish way, I hope they don't come in this weekend because I don't know if I'll be able to attend this week  

I'll be there next weekend for shizzzle.

What are the rules for this year?  Is there going to be a playoff at the end of the year?

Thanks in advance..

They were supposed to ship yesterday, but Ohio got hit pretty badly with ice from the storm that dumped all the snow on us. Apparently UPS didn't make their pickup... Anyhow, we'll have them at league on the 16th for sure.

Shawn, regarding your questions - basic bag tag rules apply... Challenge is manditory at tournaments and singles leagues within groups, not required at doubles during casual play. Of course, challenges during casual play are highly encouraged.

Our vision this year for the challenge is one for fun and to see who can defend the low tags successfully all year... not for people to run into hiding if/when they win a low tag because there's an end of year prize attached to it.

The tags are only available with club membership, not separately. In past years we've done other freebies with membership... discs, minis, cheap tags. This year we decided to get good quality tags that we hope  people won't just toss at the end of the year because its all grody.

I'm in the process of putting together a sanctioned event for club members/bag tag holders. I'm hoping I can work things out. This would be the big benefit of holding a mebership/tag this year along with access to the club members only section and discounts on club merchandise.

I have not discussed this to the board yet but the fees may possibly be paid by the club except the $5.00 non pdga fee.

How about an end of the year club championship or a ice bowl event to end the year out.

I think that is what we have been talking about. It would be an event for the current members and it would kick-off next year's membership drive.

[mirth]

I think Shawn might be talking about something closer to the end of the year, like December perhaps. At least, thats what I got out of 'end of the year club championship or ice bowl event'.

Not a bad idea, IMO. I realize the club members only invitational has this in mind but I don't know if it will happen late enough in the season.

It would be uber kickass if we ran a few during the year, in addition to all the other stuff already on the schedule. I know finding volunteers to run them is difficult...

In other news, the tags shipped via UPS today! If UPS' ground travel time estimate is correct, they should be on my doorstep on Tuesday.

[CEValkyrie]

I was thinking early November would be fun.

Looks like bag tag drawing will be next Sunday.

[mirth]

The tags came in today!

Initial distribution will happen this Sunday.

[Dan Michler]
