Single Elimination Match Play - Players will be flighted in different divisions based on their Active USGA Handicap as of May 28th, 2020.  Those with a handicap index of less than 5 (Men's)/less than 8 (Ladies) or with no handicap will be placed in the Championship Flight.  Seeding will be determined by random draw.  In case of odd number, some players will receive 1st round byes

 

Players will compete 1 on 1 in individual match play.  Gross scoring will be used within each division, handicaps are only used to determine divisions.  The player who wins the most holes over a stipulated 18 hole round will win their match and advance.  Number of rounds based on total number of players in division.

 

Match Play Scoring -  Unlike stroke play, in which the unit of scoring is the total number of strokes taken over one or more rounds of golf, match play scoring consists of individual holes won, halved or lost. On each hole, the most that can be gained is one point. Golfers play as normal, counting the strokes taken on a given hole. The golfer with the lowest score on a given hole receives one point. If the golfers tie, then the hole is halved. For example, in an 18-hole match, the first hole is a par-4 and Player A scores a 3 (birdie) and Player B scores a 4 (par); Player A is now 1-up with 17 to play. In the same match on the second hole, a par-5, Player A takes 8 strokes and Player B takes 5 (par); Player B wins the hole and the match is now "all square" with 16 to play. On the third hole, a par-3, both players take 3 strokes and the match is all square with 15 holes to play. Once a player is "up" more holes than there are holes remaining to play the match is over. For example, if after 12 holes Player A is 7-up with six left to play, Player A is said to have won the match "7 and 6"
