Points will be awarded as follows: All HSJGA tournaments will award points to the top 20 players.
When more than one age division is combined, points will only be awarded when all play is from the same teeing area. For example, when juniors are all playing from the same teeing area in a qualifying tournament, points will be awarded in their age division and the higher age division if applicable. For instance, if a boy in the 13-14-year-old age division finishes first in the USGA Junior Amateur Championship Qualifier, he will be awarded points in both the 13-14 and the 15-18-year-old age division. If a 15-18-year-old boy finishes second in the USGA Junior Amateur Championship Qualifier, he will be awarded second place points in the 15-18 Division only.
In the event of ties for points for selection for teams and exemptions, etc… the lowest-scoring average of all common events played will be used to break any ties in points. If still tied, the lowest one-day round from the last common round played will be used. However, if the tied players were involved in any “on course” play-off at any of the events where both/all earned points, that play-off will be used to break the tie in the awarding of points.
