Registration Process
Exempt players from the 2025 Championship Open will be guaranteed a place in the field if they choose to register:
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners (Gross and Net) in each flight from the 2025 Championship Open.
- 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 Overall Championship winners.
1. Registration will be conducted following this new process.
a. Phase 1. Registration will be open for 5 days. If an event has more players registered than we can accommodate, we will conduct a lottery to see who gets in.
b. Phase 2. Registration will re-open for events that are not at full capacity. This second phase of registration will be First Come-First Serve. If an event reaches maximum capacity before the registration deadline, registration for that event will be turned off.
2. Individual registration.
a. Every player must register themselves. There will NOT be an opportunity to register other players.
b. All players will go into a "Pending Registration" status. Credit card authorizations will be approved but cards will not be charged until a player goes into the Confirmed Roster.
3. Players moving to the Confirmed Roster.
a. Once you are registered, you will be manually moved to a "Waitlist".
b. After conducting a lottery, if necessary, players will be moved into the Confirmed Roster and credit cards will be charged.
c. In Phase 2, when a player registers, it will be on a First Come-First Serve basis until the field is full or the final registration deadline has been reached.
Refund/Cancelation Policy
Once you've been charged and moved to the confirmed roster, refunds can be requested for cancelations made prior to the final registration deadline (May 26, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST). Credit Cards will be charged on April 7. A 4% fee will be retained by the Association to cover credit card processing fees. Cancelations made after the final registration deadline will not be refunded.
