This will yield eight (8) pods of four (4) players. Each player will play all three other players in their pod (see schedule below).

Pod Assignments/Seeding: The pods will follow the PGA TOUR style of randomized drawing. Once players have been seeded 1 - 32, players will be drawn at random so that each pod will consist of a player ranked 1 - 8 (Player 1), 9 - 16 (Player 2), 17 - 24 (Player 3) and 25 - 32 (Player 4). Pod structure is available to view under the Tournament Information tab. 

 

Pod Play Scoring: There will be no extra holes during the pod play portion of matches. Scoring during pod play will be as follows:
Match Won – 1 point | Match Tied – ½ point | Match Lost – 0 Points. 

Note: If there is a tie for the pod winner, the tie will be broken based on how many players are tied. For two players tied, their pod play head to head result will be used to determine the person advancing from that pod. For three or more players tied, a sudden death playoff will determine the person advancing from that pod.

 

Starting Times: Beginning at 7:00am each day.
