Bag Tags League

These rules govern the Plumas Disc Golf Tags League (Open) and the Plumas Disc Golf Ladies Tags League, unless otherwise specified.

1. Membership
   1. All participants must be current Plumas Disc Golf members.
2. Bag Tags
   1. Initial Distribution: Tags will be initially assigned based on placement in the Membership Drive event.
   2. Weekly Distribution: At the start of each regular league event, all participants will turn in their tags. Tags will then be redistributed based on the results of that day's two 9-hole rounds. Lowest scores receive the lowest tag numbers.
   3. Tag Order: Tags will be numbered sequentially. The exact number of tags in circulation will depend on league participation. (e.g., #1 - #50)
   4. Tag Challenges (Outside of Regular League Events):
      1. Players may challenge other players for their tag outside of regular league events.
      2. The format of the challenge round is to be agreed upon by the players involved.
      3. Challenges must be scheduled and agreed upon by the participating players. Plumas Disc Golf is not responsible for organizing or mediating these challenges.
      4. One-on-One Challenge: Any tag holder can challenge another with a lower numbered tag. Lower score gains possession of the lower tag number.
      5. Group Challenge (3 or more players): The tags are distributed based on the finishing order of the group challenge. The player with the best score receives the lowest available tag number, the next best score receives the next lowest available tag number, and so on.
   5. Tiebreakers: In the event of a tie in scores, the player with the lower tag number coming into the event will be awarded the lower tag number for the following week.
   6. Attendance Requirement (Top 5 Tag Holders):
      1. Players holding tags numbered 1 through 5 must attend at least one league event every two weeks.
      2. Consequences of Missed Attendance:
         1. First Offense: If a player holding one of these top 5 tags misses two consecutive league events, they forfeit their tag. The tag will go back into circulation and be awarded at the next league event.
         2. Multiple Offenses: Multiple violations of the attendance requirement may result in disqualification from the league and/or review by the Plumas Disc Golf Disciplinary Committee for potential membership revocation.
   7. Lost or Damaged Tags: If a player loses or damages their bag tag, they may purchase a replacement tag for $5. The replacement tag will be the next lowest tag number not currently in circulation.
