Pairings All pairings will be random within each pool and completed at a "Pairings Event" in March. Date TBD
Tees All matches will be played from the BLUE tees/Women from Yellow, unless agreed upon differently by both players.
Arranging Matches Both players will be responsible for arranging a mutually agreed upon day and time to play the match.  Matches can be played any time or day during the playing window.  We are a weekend Golf Club, so while matches can be played anytime, most matches will occur on a weekend during the month.  If you are unable or unwilling to play weekends, this may not be the best tournament for you.

Callippe Cup points are awarded as follows: 40 points if you play all three of your Group matches, you must play all three matches to receive the 40 points.  20 points for the winner of each group, 10 points for the runner up in each group, and 10 points for each win thereafter.
When a male plays against a female, the hole handicaps from the one receiving the strokes are used.  For example, if a female is a 9 handicap and the opposing male is a 7, the female will receive strokes on handicap holes 1 and 2 for women.
Match Results Both players will be responsible for submitting match results to the Tournament chair person.  Please send e-mail to azeunen@gmail.com upon completion.
Ties/Playoff Procedure for Knockout Rounds In the event of a tied match after 18 holes, the match will be decided in one of the two methods below.

1st option- Play off: Talk with the Callippe staff to see if continuing the match on hole #1 is possible.  IF that is allowed, continue the match in a sudden death playoff.  First person to win a hole, WINS.  Strokes would be given the same as they were during the 18 holes.  Please leave the course as soon as a winner is determined, do not continue to play.

2nd option- The two players agree to either, putt off, chip off, or flip a coin.  TIES ARE NEVER ACCEPTABLE!
Posting Scores For the 2021 Summer Long Match Play Tournament the following score posting policy will be observed.

1. All Scores will be posted by the Tournament Committee or Handicap Director
2. Take a picture of the scorecard and email azeunen@gmail.com or text the picture to 925-980-7544.  If you are unable to take a picture, place scorecards in the box next to the posting computer. 
3. Scorecards must include golfer’s names, handicaps, the tees you played from and date of play.
4. Tournament Director (Alan Zeunen) & Handicap Director (David Crotty) should be notified by email with the result of the match.

For GHIN system posting, play will be considered concluded once the match is decided. 

If a match is decided beyond 18 holes only scores from the first 18 holes will be used when posting.

If the match is decided prior to the 18th hole then a score of NET par will be recorded for any remaining holes, even if you play the holes.  Thus if a match is decided on hole 15, the scores for the remaining 3 holes will be equal to NET par based upon the hole handicap rating and player handicap.  You may continue to play the remaining holes but the scores on these holes will not be used when posting.
