What are bag tags?
Bag tags are designed to add a fun element to our meetup rounds, tournaments, and personal play. Please display your tag so that others can easily view it. Don't be afraid to attach the keyring portion to a zipper or cloth loop. If you need to exchange tags, you can simply remove the bottom portion of the clip holding the actual tag and exchange it with another tag.



Do you have to have a bag tag to play with the group?
Absolutely not. It's always free to play with us and tags are not required.

What do they cost?
Bag tags are $15 each.

Where does the money go?
$5 for the tag, $5 for the website, $5 for a special fund that will be used for things like club lights for night disc golf, contributing prizes to tournaments, and other items.

Why?
Meetup charges $12 a month and we'll have more flexibility with some club funds. We can plan members only tournament and events or parties for example.

I don't have a bag. Do I need a tag?
Nope. You could use it as a keychain if you want--as long as you remember to bring it to our rounds.

How do they work?
Players bring their tags to our rounds. After taking score, the winner of the round gets the lowest tag and the loser gets the highest tag from those playing in the round.

What if there is a tie?
Ties mean that players retain the tag they had before the round.

If someone with a high bag tag beats someone with a low bag tag, what happens?
There is no exchange of tags.

What if I have to leave before the last group finishes?
Exchange tags with your group before you bail. Lowest score in your group gets the lowest number up to the highest score taking the highest number.

What about when we play doubles?
Bag tags are not normally in effect during doubles rounds. We may have multiple groups playing with the "bag taggers" playing individual rounds and everyone else playing doubles. If your card feels evenly matched and your doubles teams are also well matched, you can agree to exchange them. The winning doubles team would get the two lowest tags from your card.

What about when we play outside of a meetup event?
In meetup rounds when we play individuals, the bag tags are automatically in effect. When you play a bag tagger outside the round, you get to choose whether or not tags are in effect. Valid reasons for not playing for tags include injuries, a new course, a practice round, etc. An individual challenge usually has payouts according to the following table:
1-5 $5
6-10 $3
over 10, $1

This means, if, outside of the meetup, you challenge a person with a lower tag to a round and lose, you pay them the amount prescribed in the table. Think about it, if you win you win their tag. If you lose, they should get something for accepting the challenge. That's what the payout table is for.

What about tournaments?
If you want, you can agree with other "taggers" to make your tournament round a competition for tags as well. This could be in minis and officially sanctioned tournaments as well. To be fair, you should be in the same division throwing from the same tees for the challenge to be in effect.

What's a pip?

According to the dictionary, a pip could be a dot on a card or a die. Great, we are gamers so that fits. Another meaning of "pip" as a verb is to beat or get the better of someone. We often use the word pip to describe just barely beating someone at a game. In disc golf, our group often says of a throw that just passes your lie as "you pipped me." Since "pip" also means to "do one better" if you score a 53 on a round and someone else scores a 52, you've just been pipped.
