Format: Team match play as described below
Each team will consist of four players, ranked 1 through 4 with the lowest handicap being #1, 2nd lowest, #2, etc. Substitutes will be permitted and will assume the appropriate slot base on their handicap. Substitutes must pay a $10 entry fee the week they sub. and must have a current USGA handicap index. If no sub can be found, team will forfeit that match. The #1 player for each team will serve as the team Captain. Players will play individual match play for 9 holes. The pairings should consist of #1 from team A against #1 from team B, #2 from team A against #2 from team B in one foursome and players #3 and #4 in another foursome, against the respective numbers on the other team. Captains may agree to adjust foursomes upon mutual agreement – i.e. players #1 and #4 from team A could play against players #1 and #4 from team B.
USGA match play rules will govern all play. Each individual match is worth 1 point for a win, ½ point for a tie and no points for a loss. There are 4 points available for each team each week. If a team sweeps all of their matches, a bonus ½ point will be awarded.
Teams will be assigned to the Bridgestone or Titleist Division. Divisions will play alternate nines each week. Regular season play will be within your own Division, you will play only teams in the Bridgestone or Titleist Division. The top two teams from each division will play off for their respective Division Title. The winners of each Division will face off to determine the League Champion.
If there is a tie for first or second within either Division, head to head record will be the first tie breaker. The second tie breaker is head to head record versus the next team up or down. For example, if two teams are tied for first place, the first tie breaker is also tied, then each team’s record against the team in second will be compared to determine the winner. Similarly, if two teams are tied for second place, the first tie breaker is also tied, then each team’s record against the FIRST place team would be used to break the tie. This process continues down through the rankings until a winner is established. Register Now!
