Event Details
When: Weekly from Sunrise to Sunset on Thursdays, from March 14 to October 31, 2024 (Pacific Time - Los Angeles).

Rules for Weekly Bag Tag Rounds
Group Size: Thursday weeklies (also known as "Bag Tags") are rolling flex starts with groups of 3 to 5 players only. Singles are not included in scoring. All groups must be comprised of current DDGC Bag Tag members.
Check-In: All players must check in on the UDisc App for the weekly event. To find the events, search for the DeLa League events on UDisc.
2-Meter Rule: The 2-meter rule is in effect. Discs resting 2 meters or more above the ground are considered out of bounds (OB).
Out of Bounds (OB) Rules:
General OB: The road and beyond are considered out of bounds on every hole, except for Hole 22.
Hole 22 Exception: On Hole 22, the road and parking lot are out of bounds (OB) and *play as a river.
Tag Exchange: At the end of each round, tags are exchanged based on scores:
The player with the lowest score receives the lowest-numbered tag in the group, the second-lowest score gets the next lowest tag, and so on.
In case of a tie, the player with the lowest tag number going into the round will receive the lowest tag available, or you may choose to have a sudden-death playoff starting at Hole 1 as an option to break the tie if all players agree.
Tee-Off Order: Players will tee off in the order of their bag tag numbers, from the lowest to the highest.
Scoring: All players are responsible for keeping accurate scores. Scorecards must be submitted immediately after the round via the UDisc App.
Behavior and Conduct: All participants must adhere to PDGA rules and demonstrate sportsmanship. Any form of cheating, unsportsmanlike behavior, or rule violations can result in disqualification and potential suspension from future rounds or Club/league participation.
Weather Policy: Rounds may be suspended or canceled in the event of severe weather (e.g., lightning or heavy rain). The event organizer will make this decision on-site.
Communication: Any changes to schedules, rules, or other pertinent information will be communicated through email or the club’s social media channels. Players are responsible for staying updated.
Prizes and Points:
2024 Bag Tag Points: Points are awarded for participation in both the Weekly Events (Bag Tags) and Monthly Tournaments. These points accumulate towards the End of Year GOLDEN TAGS.
Golden Tags: The Top 25 Point Earners of the season will be awarded a special Golden Tag to celebrate their efforts at our End of the Year Gathering.

Disputes and Appeals: All disputes or appeals must be submitted in writing to the event organizer within 24 hours after the round's completion.
*- "play as a river"
In disc golf, the term "play as a river" refers to a specific way to handle Out of Bounds (OB) areas on the course. This rule is often applied to areas designed to resemble a river or stream, whether they are actual water features or dry areas marked as OB.
How "Play as a River" Works:
OB Area Representation: The OB area is treated as a river or stream, meaning that the entire area designated as OB is treated like water that flows continuously along a path.
Relief from the OB Line: When a disc lands in the OB area, the player must determine the point where the disc last crossed into the OB area, also known as the "last point of entry." The player then marks a new lie (place to throw from) within one meter of that point, but not closer to the basket. The relief is typically perpendicular to the OB line.
No Re-throw or Drop Zone: Unlike some OB rules where players might be required to throw from a drop zone or re-throw from the previous lie, playing as a river allows the player to take a stance from the last in-bounds position, providing a potentially less punitive option.
Penalty Stroke: The player incurs a one-stroke penalty for throwing OB, but they are allowed to continue from a position on the fairway rather than repeating a potentially difficult shot.
Maintains Course Flow: This rule helps maintain a steady flow of play, as players aren't required to return to a previous spot or a specific drop zone, which can slow down the game.
Strategic Consideration: Playing as a river adds an element of strategy to the game. Players need to consider their throw's placement to avoid the OB areas that could lead to a more challenging recovery shot and a penalty stroke.
