Championship Format
All championship contestants play in the first and second 18-hole rounds on July 16th and 17th. After these 36 holes, the low 64 scores will be determined. If a tie exists for the 64th seed, a sudden-death playoff will be conducted on July 17th and will begin 10 minutes after the final score is posted to the main scoreboard. The starting tee for the playoff will be announced and posted to the main scoreboard. All players subject to the play-off must be present at the play-off starting tee for the call of the roll. Any player not present will be eliminated from the play-off. The match play bracket will be determined and seeded based on the player's 36-hole score with ties broken by scorecard return. Matches will be played over 18 holes, with the exception of the Championship match that will be played over 36 holes.

Caddies must comply with the KGA dress code requirements to be allowed to serve in the role of caddie.

The club will have several places on the course where you can obtain ice and/or water. The snack shop in the clubhouse has food, bottled water and sport drinks for sale. Please do not bring such items to the golf course as it is appropriate that they be purchased at the club.

Gift certificates for players that lose their match must be claimed prior to the completion of the championship. Any gift certificate not claimed will be voided after the championship is completed.
