Coyote Number
Both Friday and Saturday there will be a random point total chosen. All teams that reach that point total or higher 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
$100 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 $6,000 prize would be split 10 ways ($600 to each team in the flight).
Pari-Mutuels
Minimum wager is $5 across the board ($15) and all increments must be in $5. There will be two separate betting options: A) Flight play, B) Horse Race. For Flight play, there are 2 races each day; Flights 1-3 and Flights 4-6 . For the flight money you are only competing against the teams in your race, for the overall money you are competing against every team in the field.
Tournament Format
Better Ball of Pairs Stableford scoring for Day 1. Day 2 both balls may count but second ball cannot hurt your score. So still the better ball format, simply think of your second ball as a bonus. Flights are arranged by combined handicap index.
*Day 2 Pairings will be based on point standings within Flight*
Rules
For both days players will receive 90% of their handicap.

All play will be from the II Tees: 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 2nd Place in a flight, we will be following a three step process:
• 1st Most Point Day 2
• 2nd - Least (-) Points Overall
• 3rd - Least (-) Points Day 2
The 1st & 2nd Place teams in each flight will make the Horse Race
There will be a Horse Race 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.
