FORMAT
18 holes of stroke play. Championship Flight: low 16 qualifiers. ONE BALL CONDITION IS NOT IN AFFECT. Trophy awarded for Medalist in the Championship Flight. In the event of a tie for Medalist, duplicate prizes will be awarded. For the purpose of determining places in the draw, ties in the qualifying round, other than those for the last qualifying place in either Flight, will be decided by a blind draw. A tie for last place will be decided by an immediate hole-by-hole play-off. If a player who is involved in the play-off is not present, her placement will be determined after the placement of participating players, on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best score for last six holes, last three holes, and finally the 18th hole. If this procedure does not break the tie, placement will be determined by blind draw.
Each match will be 18 holes. The first and second round matches of the Championship Flight will be played on the first day of match play, Wednesday, June 12th. In the event of a tied match, (a) the winner is decided by an immediate hole-by-hole playoff beginning on the first hole and (b) the round is deemed to extend to as many holes as are required for a match to be won. Trophy awarded to the winner Flight.
