Tournament Format

The format is better ball of pairs match play. Each team will play five nine-hole matches (three on Saturday and two on Sunday) 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; handicaps taken from June 9th.

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: Any player wishing to use any other set of tees may do so and their Handicap will be adjusted. 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

Wildcard: 2 Wildcard Teams that do not win their flight but have the most overall points will make the Horse Race.

There will be a Shootout to determine the Overall Champion. The format for the playoff will be True Alternate Shot. Five teams will be eliminated on Hole #1, Four 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.

Pari-Mutuels

Minimum wager is $5 across the board ($15) and all increments must be in $5. There will be three separate betting options: A) Saturday play, B) Sunday play, and C) Overall play. For Saturday play and Sunday play, there are 2 races each day; Flights 1-5 (teams 1 –24) and Flights 6-10 (teams 25-47). For the day money you are only competing against the teams in your race, for the overall money you are competing against every team in the field. Day 1’s Race and the Overall race bets must be made before the first shotgun on Saturday. Day 2’s races will be available for betting on Sunday Morning.

Coyote Number

Both Friday and Saturday there will be a random point total chosen. All teams that reach that point total for the day will split the entries collected. $100 cash entry per team covers you for both days. Winning coyote number will be published at the end of the day on the scoreboard.

Overall Champion Flight Pool

$50 cash entry per team. All money collected will be paid out equally to all teams in the flight of the team that wins the Grand Champion Horse Race. Ex. As long as every team entered, the $3,000 prize would be split 6 ways ($500 to each team in the flight).
