Entry Fee: Entry fee of $155 must be paid by every player. Entry fee will be refunded regardless of reason if NWAGA is notified (402-505-4653, x103) before the close of entries.

Late applications are not acceptable and will be automatically rejected. (Entries by telephone, e-mail, or FAX not acceptable.)

Divisions (Championship and Non-Championship): The Championship Division is comprised of those golfers with an up-to-date Handicap Index® of 6.0 or less and those that declare Championship. The Non-Championship Division is comprised of those golfers with an up-to-date Handicap Index® exceeding 6.0.
Format: The tournament will consist of 54 holes of stoke play with the Championship Division playing a longer course than Non-Championship Divisions – approximately 6,000 yards. A tie for first place will be played off until a winner is determined.
The Championship Division will be comprised of participants with a Handicap Index of 6.0 or less and those that declare Championship. All other entrants are in the Non-Championship Division.
After 36 holes, participants in both Divisions (Championship and Non-Championship) will be flighted.

Day 2 - Second Round. 18-holes. Players will be paired by first round score for the second day of competition with tee times beginning at 8 a.m.
The Medalist will be the participant with the lowest 36-hole round in the Championship Division. The Senior Medalist will be the participant, age 49 or older as of the first day of the tournament, with the lowest 36-hole score in the Championship Division. If no senior plays in the Championship Division, there will be no Senior Medalist. Flights in both Divisions will be composed after the second round of competition. If necessary, one or more participants at the bottom of one flight may be paired with participants in the next flight.
Day 3 - Third round, 18-holes with tee times beginning at 8 a.m.. Players will be paired by two-day total. With the exception to the overall Champion, in the event of ties within flights, the prize monies will be combined and divided pro-rata.
