MWSS Law

  

MWSS Management 

Rule 1: Brett Turner the current El Presidente (El Prez) is always right. 

 

Rule 2: If you want to be El Prez, you but have to ask, a vote can be called if the standing El Prez requests it, but he will probably just give you the job.  

 

Membership:  

Rule 3; To become a member, you have to be invited by a standing member of MWSS. If for any reason any other member objects, it will be ruled on under Rule 1. 

 

Rule 4: Rites to play: Basically, the more MWSS games you have played, the more rite you have to play. So, it is last on, first off, if numbers exceed tee times. 

 

Rule 5: For full playing rights you must have be DotGolf International registered member, with handicap, not pending. 

 

Rule 6 Non-registered~ ~   the player can be set a handicap by the El Prez  after consulting with the players and friends. He will pay a full player Tax per time he plays but is only eligible for the Silverware, not the $$$ with the exception of Glug's Mug where handicap has no effect. 

 

Rule 7: If you have not played a MWSS event in the past 2 years you will be BENCHED, meaning you will be taken off the invite list, but remain a member until you play another MWSS game and then are reinstated as a PLAYING member. 

 

Rule 8: On tours with more than one game, the El Prez reserves the right to adjust the handicap system based on the players stableford scores. Less than 30 point one shot added, 31-39 points no adjustment, 40-41 points one shot deducted, 42 points+  2 points deducted for the next game

 

Under a true dictatorship, membership is but a word, the masses have nothing but the belief that The El Prez has their back. Disclosure will rely on how he is feeling on the day. 

In the unlikely event of a dispute...see rule 1.
