Tournament Format

The format is better ball of pairs match play. Each team will play five nine-hole matches (three on Friday and two on Saturday) in flights of six teams per flight. Flights are arranged by total team handicap index; we are using the lowest index of the past 12 months for all players. The Committee reserves the right to alter flights in any way; expanding the field, creating “Open Flights” for teams with more than 10 handicap index stroke spread (teams with a 9 handicap index stroke spread may be added t fill in Open Flights), or anything else deemed to be in the best interest of the Event. Rules For each nine-hole match, players will receive one half of their handicap. Each match will be handicapped off the lowest handicapped player in the foursome. Half shots will apply. Scoring of matches will be as follows: 1 pt. for winning a hole, 1/2 pt. for halve of hole, and 0 pts. for loss of hole.

After all five nine-hole matches have been played, the team with the most points will be declared the winner and qualify for the Shootout.

All play will be from the II Tees. If a player’s age and handicap totals 90 or more , he will from the III Tees on holes 11 and 18. Exception: Any player whose handicap is established from a set of tees other than II Tees, may choose to play those tees and have their handicap adjusted accordingly.

In the event of a tie for 1st Place in a flight, we will be following a three step process: • 1st - Head to Head Match • 2nd - Most Wins • 3rd - Most Final Day Points

There will be a Shootout to determine the Overall Champion.

The format for the playoff will be True Alternate Shot. Four teams will be eliminated on Hole #1, three teams will be eliminated on hole #17, and the final three teams will play #18. Ties will be broken by a chip off from a designated spot chose by the Head Professional. Combined distance will determine the winner. Shots apply where they fall. All play will be from the same set of tees you played during the tournament.
