- All players will play to 85% of their course handicap
Committee Discretion: The Championship Committee reserves the right to move any team out of the Forward Division if their team handicap (or an individual partner's handicap) is significantly lower than the majority of the competitors in that division, and their scoring history does not reflect the need to play from the Forward Division yardage.
Breaking Ties
Championship Division - The overall Champion will be the team with the lowest total score. In the event of a tie for first place, there will be a hole-by-hole sudden death playoff on a hole designated by the Committee to determine the Champion. All other ties will be broken by the modified USGA scorecard match.
Forward Division - All ties in each flight of the Forward Division will be broken by the modified USGA scorecard match. .
The modified USGA score card playoff will be as follows:
- Final 18 holes
- Final 9 holes, then final six holes, then final 3 holes and finally the 18th hole score.
- If there is still a tie, a coin flip will determine the Champion
The last 9 holes will be considered holes 10-18, the last 6 holes will be holes 13-18, the last 3 holes will be holes 16-18 and the last hole will be hole 18. In the case that players are still tied after the 18th hole, the winner will be determined by lot
Both Divisions will pay gross first, then net.
