2) Throwdown Challenge round results must be uploaded to bagtag-results channel in discord (UDisc scorecard or picture of paper scorecard) for tag standings & season points

Automatic Challenges Rules:
Two or more tag members that find themselves on the same card of a singles sanctioned event automatically enter into a tag challenge.
1) Rounds scores determine new tag results - lowest going to best score, then second lowest, etc
2) Tie-breakers of automatic challenges are determined by those in the challenge (example: throw-off, putt-off, longest drive, etc.) all tied parties must agree
3) Season points aren’t given for automatic challenges - Please post results in discord to update standings
Showdown Challenge Rules:
A showdown challenge is between ANY two tag members over anything disc golf related (be creative & fun!)
Examples: best drive, first to drain 60 foot putt, 1st successful roller around tree 200 feet away, etc
1) Both parties must agree on the showdown details
2) The winner of the showdown wins the lowest tag
3) Details & results should be posted in discords #bagtag-results for standing updates
4) Season points aren’t given for Showdown Challenges
Friday Singles Challenge Rules:
Friday members only bag tag singles start @6:00PM & the course rotates (course schedule can be found here and in the discord #bagtag-schedule channel)
1) Members MUST turn in their tag at singles sign-up
2) Members pay entry fee $4 (Optional fees $1 CTP, $5 Ace payment until Ace hit)
3) Cards require a minimum of 3 players
4) Cards and starting hole will be chosen randomly but setup by established Divisions
5) Members play 1 round of scheduled course layout
6) Season points are rewarded based off number of participants and round scores (Example: If 10 players throw 1st place gets 10SP & 10th place gets 1SP)
7) Tiers will compete amongst themselves along with the 3 “movers” (lowest numbered tags from the tier directly below them), forming a "Division" Example - Gold Division = all gold tags + 3 “movers” lowest numbered blue tag (If a tier only has two representing both will move up)
8) Tie-breakers will be determined by CTP throw offs instructed by league director
9) The lowest numbered tag in each "Division" after results will earn bonus payout based off the number of players from the original Tier. E.g.- Gold Tier has 9 participants so the winner of the Gold Division earns $9 bonus
10) Since the lowest numbered tag in each division's best result would be to defend their tag they also earn bonus SP points if they do so (This also gives our #1 tag more incentive to come to tags! Extra SP & $$$ If they defend)
Bag Tag Bounty System:
The Bounty System gives Players a chance to be Bounty Hunters and earn extra Head-to-Head SP rewards by defeating players with a tag bounty!
1) Bag tags that haven't been a part of a completed Head to Head challenge for 4 weeks get a 10SP bounty reward placed on the tag and are marked in discord as a bounty tag
