For players who have several (honest) rated tournaments under their belt there really isn't the possibility of bagging. If a player is truly better their rating will reflect it and they wil be forced to move up.
Well ... yes and no. If a player is NOT truly a sandbagger, they'll likely be in the PDGA, and their rating will, indeed, force them to move up. But they aren't the real problem because they aren't truly a sandbagger.
However, if they are a REAL sandbagger, they won't be a PDGA member, and will just pay the extra $10 per tournament (at least around here) and continue to be able to sandbag, ratingless. They may even have HAD a PDGA number and have allowed it to lapse at an AM3 rating so they can keep playing AM3. Hypothetically, of course.
