Rules:
- Format:
2-man teams play hole-by-hole matches throughout the season as
determined by the brackets. The team with the lowest total net score
wins each hole (or holes are halved if tied). The winning team of each
match advances to the next round.
- Use 90% of current course handicaps rounded to the nearest whole number (0.5+ up). The player with the lowest handicap should always play as a scratch. Reduce the course handicaps
of the other three members by the handicap of the lowest member. Strokes should be allocated to holes according to scorecard rankings.
- For
example, assume that members with course handicaps of 5, 10, 16 and 30 are competing.
- Step-1
is to multiply the members' course handicaps by 90%. 5 x 90% = 4.5
which is rounded up to 5. 10 x 90% = 9. 16 x 90% = 14.4 which is
rounded down to 14. 30 x 90% = 27.
- For
the match, Member A would play at scratch. Members B, C and D would
play with course handicaps of 5, 9 and 22, respectively. So Member B would receive one stroke on
holes ranked 1-5. Member C would receive one stroke on holes ranked
1-9. Member D would receive one stroke on holes ranked 10-18 and two strokes on holes ranked 1-9.
- Under the new World Handicap System, a secondary adjustment is no longer required for members playing from different tee boxes - just use course handicaps for each player according to tee boxes played for equitable competition (since par at Brown Deer is 71 from both the white and blue tees).
- All
deadlines must be met, or both teams will be disqualified - unless a
request for an exception is submitted to the Tournament Director, Nate
Joy, and approved. Please contact Nate directly (not
bdgcnews@gmail.com).
- 2020 deadlines for each round:
- Opening Round - June 7
- Top 32 - July 5
- Sweet 16 - August 2
- Great Eight - August 23
- Final Four - September 13
- Championship Match - October 4
- Members must compete from the blue tees unless approved to play forward for the season (see Forward Tee Policy).
- Matches
must be played on a weekend at Brown Deer prior to due dates unless all players
unanimously agree to play at another course and/or on a weekday.
- USGA rules of golf for stroke play apply and disputes shall be handled accordingly.
- Any player without a current WSGA handicap index at the time of a match must compete as a scratch.
- In the event of a tie after 18-holes, the following rules apply:
- Members
should request permission from the starter to play a sudden death
playoff starting on hole #1. If starting on hole #1 isn't feasible, the
pro shop will attempt to suggest a different starting hole. Regardless
of the starting hole as dictated by the pro shop, handicap strokes
should again be allocated as they fall on the card.
- If
the above does not resolve the Match, it shall be considered a tie and
the Match should be played over. A one week grace period will be
granted if necessary.
- If the Match is still unresolved, the team with the lowest net team Medal Score for the initial 18 holes is the winner.
- If
a player is disabled prior to the first Match, another member may
replace him. Once the first match is played, there can be no
substitutions of players for any reason.
- The winning team of each match is responsible for immediately updating the online brackets. If you experience any technical issues, report your match results to bdgcnews@gmail.com.
