Registration Process:
1. Registration for all Cup qualifiers will be conducted following this new process.
a. Phase 1. Registration will be open for 7 days. If an event has more teams registered than we can accommodate, we will conduct a lottery to see which teams get in.
b. Phase 2. Registration will re-open for events that are not at full capacity. This second phase of registration will be First Come-First Serve. If an event reaches maximum capacity before the registration deadline, registration for that event will be turned off.
NOTE: Players/teams can only register for one event.
Players or teams registered for more than one event will be removed from rosters.
2. Individual registration.
a. Every player must register themselves. There will NOT be an opportunity to register other players.
b. All players will go into a "Pending Registration" status. Credit card authorizations will be approved but cards will not be charged until a player goes into the Confirmed Roster.
3. Teams moving to the Confirmed Roster.
a. When all eight players from a team are registered, the team will be manually moved to a "Waitlist". (It really helps if all players spell the team name the same way.)
b. After conducting any necessary lotteries, teams will be moved into the Confirmed Roster and credit cards will be charged.
c. Teams that do not get into an event via a lottery can register for another event during Phase 2.
d. In Phase 2, the last player on a team to register will determine the team's place in the First Come-First Serve queue. In this phase, when a team is full, it may be moved directly from "Pending Registration" to the Confirmed Roster (bypassing the waitlist). Again, credit cards will be charged when a player goes into the Confirmed Roster.

Refund/Cancelation Policy

A 4% fee will be retained by the Association to cover credit card processing fees. Cancelations made after the final registration deadline will not be refunded.
*In the event of rescheduling or cancelation due to COVID-19 complications, this refund policy may be modified.
Player Substitutions
Team Captains are responsible for managing player substitutions on their team. The captain shall submit a Substitution Request Form (found on the Player Documents tab) for approval. Once the substition has been approved, the team must handle the financial transaction internally (outside of Golf Genius) by having the incoming player reimburse the outgoing player. Please see the Tournament Policies and Information on the Player Documents tab for the detailed Substitution Policy with deadlines.
Important Notes
Maximum Field Size: 20 teams / 160 players (Updated on April 12 due to the number of participants upon completion of the Phase 1 Registration)
Tournament Format: Shotgun starts both days at 8am and 1pm. First round is Four Ball, Second round is Singles.
*Participants will play at 8am one day and 1pm the following day or 1pm on the first day and then 8 am for the Final Round.
Tournament Course: The Ridge Course
Pairings*: Pairings will be published no later than 1:00 pm CDT on the Thursday prior to the event.
*This is a Team event; Chapter is not a consideration when we create pairings. The primary consideration affecting pairings is to create the best matches based on handicaps. Teams from the same Chapter competing in a Regional Qualifier are likely to have a pairing against each other. Every effort is made to prevent Teams from playing against each other more than once, however this cannot be guaranteed.
Advancement
Number of teams advancing: 7*
* The number of teams advancing from each qualifier will be determined after registration closes. This number will be based on the field size of the individual qualifier in relation to the total number of teams competing in all qualifers. 49 teams will "advance" to Finals. The 50th team at Finals will be the 2019 first place team.
