2003 DISContinuum Bag Tag Challenge

[myndcraft]

nods, but assuming no tie breaker was played(we acctually played it the day after) what would your thoughts be? In a one on one challenge in a tie the low tag goes to the defender, but what about ties in a 3 or more person challenge?

[myndcraft]

Okay allow me to clarify what happened for all people.



Starting the event I had tag 6, Steve had 9, Josh had 18.



In a event with more than two tag holders on the card all people on the card are involved in the challenge. Then after the round tags are given out lowest to the best score and so on.



So what happened was this. Josh beat me and Steve so he gets the best tag #6. Me and Steve tied, so since he didn't surpass me and I was the holder of the better tag I took the next tag number 9 (this is basically what Damon said). Then Steve took tag 18.



I think I may have confused some people with the ctp comment, thats a seperate issue that had to do with determing safari points.

[myndcraft]

Sure Steve, what kind of disc was it? ;-)



Just Kidding

[JOsh]

Which Tags are still available and who can I pick one up from?

[JOsh]

Sweet I'll probably pick one up at the next safari.

[JOsh]

At the Safari, Jay (Tag # 6), Steve (Tag #9) and I (Tag #18 ) were all on the same card.  I won and the other two guys tied.  I get the lowest tag because I won so now how does that work with the other guys?  Since I actually took Jay's tag, would that mean that Steve is the defender thus keeping his tag?  Or does it mean that since Jay already had the lower tag, he would automatically get the lower of the two tags again?

[JOsh]

Yeah I was just curious about it.  It depends on what comes first.  Does me beating you come first?  If so, then you would actually have tag # 18.  so if you tied Steve, he'd keep 9 and you'd keep 18 because technically he had the lower tag, but if the tie comes before me taking your tag, then you'd get his #9 and he'd get my #18.  'Course then you DID beat him in the playoff...I'm so confused! :-)

[JOsh]

Right.  I got Jay's 6. Steve started the day with 9 but tied Jay and Jay got his 9 and Steve ended up with 18.  But since the rules say that tied players don't exchange tags, Steve would then keep his #9 and Jay would get my 18.  That doesn't seem right b/c Steve came into the day with 9 and Jay 6.  Steve didn't do anything to surpass Jay since they tied.  I would think CTP would be a good idea but what do I know?  :-)  Wow this has gone from bad to worse!

[JOsh]

So it worked out correctly, right?  Jay's got 9 and Steve's got 18.

[JOsh]

Yeah talk about inconsistantcy!  Played 4 rounds Sat. at UWP. 1st round I shot 4 over (garbage round!) second round I shot 1 over (a little better but still crummy) 3rd round 4 under(That's more like it).  It was fun losing the tag and getting back though...ok, who am I kidding?   I would have rather just kept the tag in the first place! :-)

[JOsh]

I don't plan on getting to comfortable with it, I'm gonna be looking for Pat's #5 :-)

[JOsh]

Oh, I'm sure you'll see my best shot...singular. I'll probably only have one good shot :-)

[JOsh]

I started with 18 then beat Steve and Jay at the Safari at Fairfield so I got Jay's 6 tag and Jay got Steve's 9 tag, Steve got my 18 tag. Then you already heard what happened this past Saturday.  So long story short,  I have 6.

#4 will be at the course tomorrow, looking for an upgrade.

Club Dead normally runs the tag challenge around here but Scott has decided not to this year.  Could I get the name or website of your tag supplier?

[Bruce Brakel]

"It would be nice to have plastic rubbery tags, that don't clank or make noise."



So we could sneak up on the guy with #1 and grab that tag by surprise!

[Bruce Brakel]

Did anyone see Dave McCormack [Gateway Discs] 's Bag Tag Pussy post on pdga.com?  



Pussy #4 checking in.



I'm coming to Illinois for pretty much the rest of the Safari season plus the Illinois State Championships and Women's Nationals.  If you want #4, bring it on!  And if you want to come out for the Gale Vaughn Memorial, I'll put you up at the Windcroft.

[Bruce Brakel]

Unless it has been booked by the Junior Girls' division, in which case I'll set you up in really nice temporary quarters on the practice green.

[Bruce Brakel]

Bag tag #3 will be in town for the Illinois State Championships on Sunday.  I'll take challenges off card if we are playing the same tees.  I'm going to play against the other fat old men on Sunday.  Don't want to have to go up against Mr. 950.  No, sir!



The following weekend is the Gale Vaughn Memorial at Riverbends and Stoney Creek out this way.  If anyone is interested in playing some courses that will kick your ass, I'll find a place for you to crash.

I have #5. Is it possible to have a list somewhere of who has what so I know who to hide from?

Not that #5 is all that desirable. #'s 1-4 are much better and anyone with a # higher than 5 should really be looking for one of those. I mean really, 5 is such a lousey number. No one ever runs into the lockerroom after a game sceaming "we're number 5!!!!!!! #5 in Major League Baseball does'nt even get you in the playoffs. So what I'm saying is I'd be willing to hang onto #5 just to save someone else the embarasement of having such a crappy tag. Oh don't thank me. It's my pleasure. Really.
