Player Exemptions: Players on the exempt list will be admitted into the championship field with the highest priority. The next 17 players to register that are not listed on the exempt player list will follow into the championship field.

Format: The CGA Super-Senior Match Play Championship will be played using the PGA TOUR style match play Pod Play system at gross scoring. This means that any player who registers for the championship will be guaranteed at least three (3) matches in the championship. After each player is ranked (see below), all players will be evenly distributed into their pod with three (3) other players. This will yield 8 pods of four (4) players. Each player will play all three other players in their pod at least once (see schedule below). The winner of each pod will advance to the Round of 8 and single elimination knockout play will commence from there until a champion is crowned. If there is a tie for the pod winner or knockout stage, a sudden death playoff will determine the winner.

Scoring: There will be no playoffs in pod play. Scoring during pod play will be as follows:
Match Won – 1 point | Match Tied – ½ point | Match Lost – 0 Points. If there is a tie for the pod winner, a sudden death playoff will be used to determine the pod winner. 

Player Seeding: All 32 players will be ranked 1 – 32. The defending champion will be ranked #1. Exempt players will be ranked next based on their 2022 CGA Super-Senior Player of the Year points standings and then handicap index, if necessary. The rest of the field of 32 will be made from players that are first come, first served and will be ranked next based on their 2022 CGA Super-Senior Player of the Year points standings and then handicap index, if necessary.

Pod Structure: 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 (A Player), 9 - 16 (B Player), 17 - 24 (C Player) and 25 - 32 (D Player). Please CLICK HERE to view the applicable pod rankings once player seeding is established.
