Discontinuum 2010 Bag Tag Challenge

[PHishHead]

how about something easy like the top 5 tags at the end of the year get a free club membership the following year.   That way the tags are still for fun but there is a point along with supporting the club

[Stan the Blue Man]

Ok sound fun but there will be a high chance that the top 5 tags will not show up or accept challenges so there has to be a penalty or a consequence of lost the tag or something.  Has to be a fair chance for everyone

[smyith]

thats easy, here a few ways to do it:
1) at tournaments all club members participating are automatically entered. whether they have their tag or not (their responsibilty to get to the right player if they dont bring it). Obviously yes there could be complications but really it shouldnt be hard (if you nay say youre probably one of "those" people).

2) since everyone knows who has what tag (thanks to the tracker) tags 1-5 are required to defend their tag "x" amount of times in a month.

3) have all tag challenges posted in a sticky thread. that way everyone can see what is happening.

4) every weekend you could have tag challenges (before or after leagues or instead of). move around the area from course to course so everyone can make it there eventually.

just what comes off the top of my head

um i think you guys were right.  this has already become a little to complicated a conversation let alone the task of actually going through it all.  its not an easy thing fit everybody to show up and play now on league and tourney dates let alone if u add in more rounds of tags, and controled tags rounds at that.  i guess the braggn rights and extra competition is the correct way to roll  why fix whats not broken

A few years ago I played thee Sedgley Woods league in Philly. They had a round of doubles and a round of bag tag singles.

Thats pure madness.  How did they ever come up with such an idea?

[acedeucelefty]

In theory it would be fun to have a prize at the end for the top 5 or whatever tags.

Personally speaking, I drew the #3 tag.  I am happy to put it up whenever I play a singles round.  The problem is that I don't have the opportunity to play very often, so being required to play x times a month simply wouldn't work.  I'm lucky if I play 2x a month and lately that is doubles and in the summer it's tournaments that might be local but are also often in michigan and elsewhere.

If the club is willing to sponsor the free memberships, you could do something like top 5 tags held by players that competed in x tag matches during the year.  No matter how you structure it though, it will be overly complicated.

[Dan Michler]

Honestly, I feel like the current system is working great.  I notice other people playing for tags on a weekly basis throughout the summer despite the fact there is no prize.  Obviously nobody really cares at the end of the year how it all ends up, but its something to play for and trade back and forth throughout the year. 

Its perfect for groups of players who have a wide range of skill levels.  Example:  I play a round with Brett, McManus, and Stan.  We don't want to play doubles.  On the rare instance that Stan, Tom, or I manage to beat Brett, its nice to take his tag away from him.  What else are we going to play for?  I sure as hell am not betting even 50 cents that I'm going to beat somebody rated 50 points higher than me in a singles round.  You play for tags!  Cuz they don't mean jack!  But when you beat somebody better than you, its sweet to watch them unhook their #2 tag and admit defeat.  It creates competition.  Which at the end of the day, might make you a better disc golfer.

I have not done one of these in years. Can we challenge anyone at anytime? Or are certain tournaments for tags? Being that I am over 3 hours away from 85% of other tag holders, tournaments are the only way I could get a better tag.

We played for cash in Peoria years ago, only to not get paid at the end of the year. So this way seems to be the best way. For fun and the competition of trying to get rid of #32 out of 33

kev c has his

maybe he'll bring it out sometime


it's easier for us to play with in the T group when we can get out

I updated the last 15 or so people that joined the club. Get registered over at www.discgolfscene.com and get your profile synced up with your bag tag!

[tacimala]

Everything is up to date with current members and numbers as far as I have info for.

If you have a tag and it has changed hands in the past few months from what is listed on http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Discontinuum_2010_Bag_Tags/leaderboards please let me know.

Taylor,

I lost my tag to Chris Jordan a few weeks ago at Fairfield.  I now have #37.

[tacimala]

I updated you with #37 and Chris with #31, thanks.

Sorry for the noob question, but this is my first DG club...  Is this bag tag challenge basically any time club members play pick-up rounds, they exchange tags based on the round scores, lowest scores getting the lowest tag numbers?  Do you guys do this only on specific rounds/occasions, or pretty much any time you play together?  Either way, it sounds like a lot of fun!  I'm looking forward to giving someone my highly prestigious #86 tag...although with my luck/skill I'll probably end up getting one in the 90's in return, hehe.

Guys play for tags all the time. We don't have any set rules that you have to play for tags, but most people do. Someone usually will step up and run tags at an event.

[tacimala]

So on that note, does anyone still have the list from Bevier two weeks ago?

[smyith]

i know that i have 40 now and jamie has 39 from the tournament. i cant help you past that.
Adam S 40
Jamie B 39

[Chainmeister]

I now have 49

[tacimala]

So it's fairly safe to say that a good portion of the numbers for bag tags are incorrect now on http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Discontinuum_2010_Bag_Tags/leaderboards

If you have a tag that has changed hands in the past several weeks or have updates to that list, please let me know and I can update the list.
