Spectators are highly encouraged to follow players as a gallery during the Nevada Open Championship. Individuals assume all risks incidental to a spectator at these events and release the Nevada Open and Tournament Committees from any and all liabilities.
PLEASE NOTE: Rule 10.2a in the Rules of Golf states that a player may not ask anyone for advice, other than the player's caddie. The penalty for giving advice is two strokes in stroke play. The player is responsible for following this rule.
During play, minimal contact is permitted between spectators and players (or their caddies). Spectators must walk and are asked to stay on the cart paths when possible.
Spectators with Disabilities: Spectators requiring motorized transportation due to severe physical disabilities must notify the Nevada Open prior to the Championship and receive permission to rent a cart from the Tournament Director. Spectators that are granted use of a cart must pay the cart fee to the host site and a Handicap Flag will be placed on the cart to notify all officials that the cart use has been approved (all carts must remain cart path only).
CADDIES:
Caddies are allowed; however, the Nevada Open Committee is not responsible for furnishing caddies and recommends that players bring their own. Players are not required to employ a caddie for the Championship and may carry their own bag.
CARTS:
Carts for Nevada Open: Players may ride during the Open—the daily cart fee for the player is included in the entry fee. Players may walk and carry their own clubs; however, partial refunds are NOT awarded to players electing to walk. Caddies must walk during competition.

WITHDRAWALS:
If a player must withdraw from the Nevada Open once it has begun, he or she should notify the Nevada Open Committee or tournament site as soon as possible with the reason for the withdrawal. “No-Carding,” “No-Showing,” and withdrawing from an event without a valid excuse is NOT acceptable. All players needing to withdraw from an event must notify a member of the Committee and return their scorecard prior to leaving the tournament site. Failure to do so will result in a one-year suspension and loss of any future exemptions from any Nevada Open Events.

Contestants are expected to (1) know and play by the Rules of Golf, (2) conduct themselves at all times in a sportsmanlike manner, (3) respect the golf course and the rights of other contestants, (4) fulfill their playing obligations and (5) know and abide by the Nevada Open Pace of Play Policy. If the Committee considers that a player is guilty of a serious breach of etiquette, including but not limited to unsportsmanlike conduct (cheating, damaging the golf course, defacing club property, using loud obscene language, throwing clubs, etc.), it may impose a penalty of DISQUALIFICATION and possible suspension from future play in the Nevada Open. Any disciplinary actions imposed on a contestant by the Nevada Open may be formally communicated to a representative of the contestant’s club and/or to any other allied golf association that the Nevada Open deems appropriate.
