Championship Format
All championship contestants play in the first and second 18-hole rounds on July 21st and 22nd. 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 22nd 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 playoff must be present at the playoff starting tee for the call of the roll. Any player not present will be eliminated from the playoff. 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.
