The registration table will be near the scoreboard area at Sand Creek Station and open on Monday, July 18th from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm. At registration players will receive their contestant packet that includes player gifts, information on local rules and addendum to local rules, confirmation of 1st and 2nd round tee times, questions answered or assistance provided.

Practice Round
The official practice round day is Monday, July 18th. Times are available from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm only. Please email your practice round tee time requests to casey@clgolf.org. DO NOT call the Sand Creek Station GC golf shop to arrange practice round starting times.
Championship Format
All championship contestants play in the first and second 18-hole rounds on July 19th and 20th. 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 20th 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.
Golf Carts (Players & Spectators)
Practice Round - Golf cart is provided during the practice round as part of your entry fee.
Tournament Rounds - Golf cart is included as part of your entry fee for all championship proper rounds (July 19-24). Only two carts are allowed per starting time during the stroke play qualifying rounds on July 19 and July 20. Single rider carts will be used during the match play portion of the championship.
Spectator Carts - Spectator carts will be limited during the championship. Inquire with the host course golf shop staff about availability.
Caddies
Caddies are allowed, but only two carts are allowed per starting time in stroke play. Players will have seating priority on carts. If you bring a caddie to the championship, the caddie should be prepared to walk.
