BAG TAG & SIDE GAMES
Q: What are Bag Tag Challenges?
A: Bag tags are numbered for rank and every player who participates will receive a random number. It is then up to you to challenge other bag tag holders to make your way to the top and get the number one ranked bag tag. A challenge means you issue an agreed upon challenge between two bag tag holders to determine a winner. The winner either gets the higher bag tag, or retains the higher bag tag.
Q: How do Bag Tag games work?
A: When you purchase a season pass you will receive your bag tag as part of your player package. Each challenge has simple rules. Some are skill-based, others silly. At the end of the day it is up to you and the person you challenge. Challenges can be made anytime, anywhere, and can be a challenge of any kind. Examples: Cornhole, any side game, a foot race, trivia, or whatever else you can dream up, safely. Do not engage in any challenges that someone gets hurt.
Q: Who can issue bag tag challenges to who? Currently bag tag challenges can be issued to anyone from anyone with the following parameters:
-Under normal circumstances bag tag challenges cannot be refused.
-The challenge has to be safe and agreed upon by both sides.
-You can only challenge the same person once per day.
-You can challenge any number at any time, once a day.
-Any issues will be handled on a case by case basis.
Q: What is chuck a bag?
A: Chuck a bag is a game where a weekly winner walks away with a cash prize. Chuck a bag will occur every Sunday at 5:30. The game starts by everyone purchasing as many chuck a bags as they want to toss. At 5:30 everyone gathers in the central community area with your bean bags. Everyone participating will form a circle around the target. You will then have 10 seconds to toss as many bags as you want. If you have only one to throw, choose your timing wisely! If more than one person rings the target, then we expand the circle out, increasing difficulty in a process of elimination. Winner walks away with the cash jackpot! You will receive 1 bag to toss for every $4 donated.
Q: What side games will be available?
A: You can win prizes by playing fun games like:
A: - P.I.G. (like basketball, but cornhole-style)
A: - Point Toss (best of 4 bags)
A: - Blindfold Toss
A: - Open Challenges
Q: Can beginners play in Bag Tag Challenges?
A: Absolutely. These games are designed to be inclusive, fun, and accessible to everyone. You don't have to be a pro to participate—or win. However, the Bag Tags are exclusive to season players who made a $20 donation. This does not mean you cannot participate in other toss challenges or add yourself to the bag tag at any time.
