Overview
Players must sign up by the posted date before the tournament to give the tournament director time to set up the first round of matches. If fewer than 8 players sign up the tournament will be cancelled or postponed at the director’s discretion.
Prizes will be awarded at the fall awards meeting.
This is a match play format tournament that can last several weeks depending on the number of players participating. It is the players’ responsibility to schedule their matches and complete them within the time allotted. The tournament director shall organize the bracket, post it in the clubhouse, and notify participants of their first match prior to the start of the tournament. Each round of the tournament should take no more than one week to complete. Players not completing their match within the time specified may be disqualified by the director.
Rules
- Player’s handicaps as of the first day of the tournament will be posted on the bracket. Please double check you handicap before each match.
- Each match is 18 holes.
- Play begins at the first hole and holes are played in order.
- Match play means that each hole is worth one point. A player wins a hole by having the lower score for the hole.
- Player’s handicaps are used in match play in the following way:
- The lower handicap is subtracted from the higher handicap. The result is the number of “strokes” the player with the higher handicap may use per 9 holes.
- The score card has a column marked “strokes” to indicate what order the strokes must be applied. Strokes are awarded one per hole starting at the hole marked “1″ in the stroke column through “9″. Do this for the front and back nine. It is best to circle these in advance so it is obvious when they are to be used.
So if player A has a 3 handicap and player B has a 7 handicap, the difference is 4 per nine holes. Player B would be able to deduct 1 stroke from their score on each of holes number 7, 2, 8, and 3 and also on holes 16, 11, 17, and 12 when playing 18 holes. - If on hole number 2, player A has 3 strokes and player B has 3 strokes, player B wins the hole because he may deduct 1 stroke on hole 2.
- Players are allowed to concede their opponent’s putt but are not required and may not be coerced to do so.
- The match is over as soon as one player has more points than there are holes remaining to be played.
- If the score is tied after 18 holes, the players must play 9 more holes.
- If they are still tied at 27 holes, players may mutually agree to play the holes in order 1 to 9 until the next point is won. However, if either player does not want to play “sudden death” then both must play an additional 9 holes.
- Players will record the results of their match on the bracket posted in the club house and leave the score card for the tournament director.
- It is the winner’s responsibility to contact the player indicated on the bracket as their next match.
