Columbia River Disc Golf Club Bag Tag Challenge Rules • Casual Play: * Players may refuse tag challenges in casual play for any reason. * A casual challenge between two or more tag holders within a group must be presented and clearly agreed upon prior to all tee-offs. * All participants must have their tag in possession at all times in a clear and viewable manner. * A player may challenge any other player within the same casual group of 5 players or less, regardless of difference in tag position. If more than 5 tag holders are present and willing, challenges across player groups are acceptable when all participating players agree and are simultaneously playing the same course. * Players tee off in order on the initial hole beginning with lowest tag number. * Each challenge participant is committed to completing the challenge after making their initial drive. Any departure from the round, including injury during play results in a lost challenge. * If the number of holes per round was not agreed upon prior to teeing off, 18 holes are considered one round of play for that particular challenge. A minimum of 9 holes are required for a valid casual challenge. * Upon completion of the challenge round, participants redistribute tags in numerical order based on 'lowest score wins lowest tag'. * In the event of a tie, the lower tag holder prior to the challenge wins by default. * Lightning or natural disaster in the vicinity of play immediately prior to or during the round voids the challenge and all players retain their current tag. • Tournament and League Play: * Tags are exempt from challenge in any doubles or teamplay situation, unless both players can fully record their entire score for the round. * At CRDGC-hosted tournaments and weekly events when Professionals and Amateurs play the same courses and teepads, tourney-wide tag challenges are mandatory and tags are typically collected during registration. Tags are redistributed by final regulation score (excluding any extra finals rounds) after tourney completion or each league round regardless of division. * Any other tournament situation requires competition strictly within each player's immediate group, whereas tags are redistributed by score only within that particular player group after each round. * In the event a tourney or league round are not completed due to storm, disaster, etc all players retain their current tag. • Sportsmanship: While the primary objective is obtaining the lowest tag number through frequent competition, the spirit of the tag challenge is of much greater importance. The resulting challenge offers constructive simulated tournament pressure during casual rounds which develops skills and foresight required for competitive tournament play. As a CRDGC Tag Holder, please be mindful of good sportsmanship at all times and always remember that accepting a challenge also means challenging yourself! Regular tag challenges in good faith will serve to make your tournament mindset continually stronger.
