Format:

• This event is an ABCD blind draw event.
• The format is a Step Aside scramble.   In this scramble format, the player whose shot is selected will "step aside" and not play the following shot.   This would include the player who makes the final putt, who would be ineligible to drive on the following hole.   Strategic decisions on shot selection will factor into the result.  
• Handicaps are based on the index in effect when signups close.  A USGA allowance of 35%, 30%, 25%, and 20% from low to high handicap will be applied.  
• Maximum score will be a net double bogey.
• Teams will be published on the website shortly after signups close.
• Online mobile scoring will be required from one member in each foursome.  Another player will keep a paper scorecard.  Teams are responsible for verifying the two scores agree before signing and handing in the card.    
• Courses are Creek/Cherokee.
• All tees will be available to players except the green and green/gold.  Consider your choice carefully, as there will be NO tee changes once signup closes. 
• As a four person team event, late entrants may find themselves on the waitlist until a multiple of four is reached to form another team.  

• Flights and Divisions: all ties will be resolved using the USGA 9/6/3/1 methodology.  The winner of a tie (or ties) will be the player or team with the best score for the back 9 holes (irrespective of starting hole), and if not resolved, the last 6, last 3, and last hole in that order.  If a tie is not resolved on the back 9, the same process will be used for the front nine.  If there is no winner at this point, the tie will be resolved by chip-off as described below.
