CCMGA'S
2007 TOURNAMENT HANDICAP POLICIES AND FORMATS

ALL TOURNAMENTS
The lowest three of five scores in a sanctioned CCMGA home or away 
tournaments, or your current AGA handicap in effect on the closing 
date for tournament entries, whichever is lower, will determine a 
member's handicap for tournament play.


(Note: Members playing in their first CCMGA tournament will receive 
their AGA handicap. For members with one, but less than five 
tournament scores, the following formula will be used to determine 
their lowest tournament score: one for one, one for two, two of 
three and three of four.)

MAJOR TOURNAMENTS
In addition to the above requirements, all entrants in the President's 
Cup, Club Championship and Two-Man Championship must have, within the 
past 12 months, participated in at least two CCMGA tournaments in 
which tournament scores were posted for handicap purposes.


Note: RAZZ scores do not qualify as tournament scores.

MATCH PLAY...TBA...THE GAME IS PLAYED BY HOLES. A HOLE IS WON BY THE PLAYER WHO HOLES HIS BALL IN THE FEWEST STROKES. IN A HANDICAP MATCH SUCH AS OURS, THE LOWEST NET SCORE WINS THE HOLE. A MATCH IS WON WHEN A PLAYER IS LEADING BY A NUMBER OF HOLES GREATER THAN THE NUMBER REMAINING TO BE PLAYED. IN THE EVENT OF A TIE, THE ROUND WILL BE EXTENDED BY THE NUMBER OF HOLES NEEDED FOR THE MATCH TO BE WON.

AS MATCH PLAY PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING EACH OTHERS HANDICAPS BEFORE EACH MATCH, ALL HANDICAPS WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE PLAYERS' CURRENT USGA HANDICAP ONLY.

TOURNAMENT DATES AND OTHER DETAILS WILL BE AVAILABLE LATER THIS YEAR.
