During play, minimal contact is permitted between spectators and players (or their caddies). Spectators must walk and are asked to stay on the cart paths when possible.

CADDIES:
Caddies are allowed; however, the Nevada Open Committee is not responsible for furnishing caddies and recommends that players bring their own. Players are not required to employ a caddie for the Championship and may carry their own bag.

All players needing to withdraw from an event must notify a member of the Committee and return their scorecard prior to leaving the tournament site.

If the Committee considers that a player is guilty of a serious breach of etiquette, including but not limited to unsportsmanlike conduct (cheating, damaging the golf course, defacing club property, using loud obscene language, throwing clubs, etc.), it may impose a penalty of DISQUALIFICATION and possible suspension from future play in the Nevada Open.
