Championship Information:
Format/Field Size:
On Monday, July 22, 2024, there will be an 18-hole stroke-play qualifying round for the Championship Flight. A player must play the stroke-play qualifying round to qualify for the Championship Flight. Players opting not to play in the Championship Flight may play a practice round on Monday.
The Championship Flight will be a sixteen (16) player bracket, with the defending champion receiving the first seed, unless she opts to compete for the medalist prize. The remaining places will be filled by the players with the lowest scores from the Championship Flight qualifying round and will be seeded by their qualifying round score. In the event of ties for the 16th place, there will be a hole-by-hole play-off at the conclusion of the qualifying round. Ties for any other match play seeding in the Championship Flight will be resolved by a match of scorecards according to USGA recommended method. Players in the qualifying round who do not advance to the Championship Flight will be divided into flights of eight players and seeded according to their Handicap Index as of Monday, July 15, 2024. If two or more players have the same Handicap Index, their seeding will be determined by lot.
Match play begins on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, for all flights. Those defeated in the first match of the Championship Flight will form the First Flight. All players in the Championship and First Flight will play a second match in the afternoon. Those advancing in all other flights will play a second match in the afternoon. On Wednesday, the Championship and First Flight semi-finals matches will be played in the morning, and those advancing to the finals will play again in the afternoon. All other flights will play their final match in the morning.
Prizes: Trophies will be awarded to the Championship Winner and Runner-Up; additionally a Low Medalist trophy will be awarded after the stroke play qualifying round. Pro Shop credit will be awarded to winners and runners-up in all other flights.
