Player Substitutions

 

Team Captains are responsible for managing player substitutions on their team.  The captain shall submit a Substitution Request Form (found on the Player Documents tab) for approval.  Once the substition has been approved, the team must handle the financial transaction internally (outside of Golf Genius) by having the incoming player reimburse  the outgoing player.  Please see the Tournament Policies and Information on the Player Documents tab for the detailed Substitution Policy with deadlines.

 

 

Important Notes

 

Tournament Format: 

  • Double shotgun start (8:00 am and 1:30 pm) on 2 courses each day.
  • Round 1 is Four-Ball on 2 courses, Round 2 is Singles on 2 courses.
  • Whichever course is played for Round 1, players will be on opposite course for Round 2.
  • If a player is in the morning shotgun for Round 1, they will be in the afternoon shotgun for Round 2.  If a player is in the afternoon shotgun for Round 1, they will be in the morning shotgun for Round 2.
  • Pairings will be announced on Tuesday (August 10th).  That is the earliest point that players will know which course they are playing for Singles and Four-Ball and which shotgun (morning or afternoon) they will be in.

 

Finals Pairings:

1. Assuming there is a full field, Four-Ball pairings will be used to divide the team's players into four pairing pods (or groups) based on the handicap indexes of the partners (the lowest pair in Group A, the highest pair in Group D).  This will result in teams having two pairs on each course in each of the four shotgun starts (morning and afternoon) each day.

 

2. This is a Team event; Chapter is not a consideration when we make up pairings.  The primary consideration affecting pairings is to create the best matches based on handicaps.  Teams from the same Chapter competing  in the Finals may have a pairing against each other.

 

3. Every effort is made to prevent Teams from playing against each other more than once, however this cannot be absolutely guaranteed.

 

4. Pairings will be posted a minimum of 2 days prior to the event.  Until that point, players will not know which rotation (day 1 morning-day 2 afternoon or day 1 afternoon-day 2 morning) that they will be in.
