2004 BagTag Challenge

[jim]

I have been in contact with Jay about the 2004 BagTag Challenge. Seems like everyone wants a BTC; also, some feedback was given about the appearance and cost of the Tags.
So, unless there are any objections, Jay and I will get the Tags ready for January now (so that if the club structure or officers' positions change there won't be a lapse in current BagTags).

Attached is a sample of what the BagTags will look like. We will start out with 50. They will be color-printed on cardstock (60#) paper and laminated with clear, heavy-duty lamination plastic. They will have a 1/8" hole cut near the side of the Tag and will come with a plastic tie for easy attaching to your disc bag.

Feedback?

2004 DISContinuum BagTag Challenge

Our BagTag Challenge is a fun and exciting way to promote competitiveness and camaraderie among disc golf players in the area. The idea is simple. A limited run of BagTags is printed with incremental numbers on the front of each tag. These BagTags are then sold to disc golfers on a first-come/first-served basis. The goal of each BagTag owner is to obtain the lowest number BagTag by the end of the season (#1). At the end of the challenge, prizes are awarded to the top 5 BagTag holders.  Proceeds from the initial sales of the BagTags going toward prizes and sponsoring other DISContinuum events.

RULES

1.   Any BagTag number may challenge another.
2.   No handicapping.
3.   No divisional advantages or sanctuary.
   BagTag owners are not broken down into divisions for DISContinuum BagTag Challenge purposes.
4.   BagTag owners must display their BagTag(s) where it can be easily seen. Concealment of BagTags is not allowed.
   BagTags must be physically present to accept a challenge.
5.   It is mandatory to accept challenges at any singles tournament or singles league.
6.   The challenger and challengee must be on the same card, unless a specific agreement is made prior to tee-off.
7.   It is not mandatory to accept a challenge during casual rounds.
8.   If there are multiple BagTag owners on the same card during an event, a multiple challenge may be made.
     For example: Ralph holds BagTag #5, Clyde holds BagTag #15, and Phyllis holds BagTag #9.
     All are playing on the same card at an event. At the end of the round, Ralph shoots a 56, Clyde shoots a 58,
     and Phyllis shoots a 50. Phyllis takes BagTag #5, Ralph takes BagTag #9, and Clyde keeps BagTag #15.
9.   Challenges on the same card take precedent over any cross-card challenges. Rule #6 takes precedence.
10.   Ties go to the defender of the lowest numbered BagTag.
11.   Valid for multiple-day events.
12.   To be eligible for prizes, you must participate in at least 3 challenges during the season.
13.   If there are any unresolved questions or discrepancies which BagTag participants cannot resolve, those participants
   should refrain from exchanging BagTags until a moderator can assist in resolution.
14.   The 2004 DISContinuum BagTag Challenge ends on December 31, 2004.
   Prizes will be awarded on January, 2005.
15.   2004 BagTag Challenge Moderators are Jim Klem and Jay Nierodzik.
16.   HAVE FUN and PLAY WELL!

[FONT=Optima]Jim, did you say when we would get our hard cards/tags? [/FONT]  

[mirth]

Don't 6 & 9 cancel themselves out? Or, whats the point of the 2nd sentance in #9?

[jim]

That was the point of adding the 2nd sentence in #9, yes indeedee-doo.

[myndcraft]

What Jim was trying to say and Jim correct me if I am wrong is that....

You must accept any on-card challenge. If you do not have an on-card challenge you are obligated to accept an off-card challenge, otherwise you don't have to.

If you are involved in both an on-card and off-card challenge the on-card challenge takes precedent over the off-card challenge.  

[jim]

unless you play me
then its no challenge at all!

Is there any way the cards could be given to myself or Brett for distribution at league next Sunday?

Nate, among others, are getting antsy for their tags...

[Jon Brakel]

Thanks, Jim! I'd rather have them done right than done quick.

Agreed.

[mirth]

A thought I just had.... not really doable for 2004 any more since the cards will be done soon, but in 2005 we should put the year of the BTC on the cards.
