Everyone is encouraged to apply for a place on the Vermont Tri-State Team. The Vermont Team will be made up of 30 players in three handicap divisions plus two alternate players with a handicap of 15 or higher. There has been a change in handicap protocol for 2024.

The first day format will be modified alternate shot match play. Strokes will be determined by comparing the lowest handicap player of each team at 90%. Second day format will be individual match play among the states at 100% handicap. The two alternate team members will play a net stroke play competition with the alternates from the other states unless needed to replace an injured or sick teammate. The substitution of an alternate player for a match player can happen at any time during play and for any division. 

The following are taken into consideration during team selection: Handicap indexes with a focus on 2024 Vermont postings. For those with previous Tri-State experience, performance statistics for the past three years will be used. For players who are new to Tri-States, performance in relation to the players' handicap for the past three VSWGA Majors played will be used. Past alternates and those players who have traveled to ME and NH for Tri-State will be given consideration when breaking ties while ranking applicants.


For the purpose of the tournament, handicaps as of June 1 will be used. Division placement is based on handicaps on May 29th.

Further information will be sent to all selected team members.

The division handicap ranges and number of players are:

Division A:  Handicap:  0.0 - 14.9  (10 players)
