YOUR NET SCORE (TOURNAMENT TROPHY + PRIZE FUND)
The tournament prize fund is included in the entry fee and varies each tournament ranging between $20-$50 per player. For award of the tournament prize fund, players will be divided into 2 "divisions":
-One division will consist of players with 5+ or more tournament rounds on Capital City Am Tour since 4.1.2023, and subsequently divided into 3 "pools" (e.g. 1, 2, 3) based on playing handicaps from a formula using 80% of the player(s) Capital City Am Tour handicap index, which is adjusted based on tee assignments created for every 20 players; 3 pool max.
Example: if 78 players are entered, then each pool will have 26 players with Pool 1 = lowest 26 playing handicaps, Pool 2 = middle 26 playing handicaps, Pool 3 = highest 26 playing handicaps awarding ~25% of pool participants -- see 'Prize Fund Matrix' under 'Tournament Information' for more info
-One division will consist of players with 4- or less tournament rounds on Capital City Am Tour since 4.1.2023, combining "All" players and using 80% of their verifiable handicap (new player) or tournament rounds posted on the Capital City Am Tour
Example: if 16 players qualify, then this pool will be titled "Low Net Pool "All" -4 = 80%" awarding ~25% of pool participants -- see 'Prize Fund Matrix' under 'Tournament Information' for more info
All 4 net pool winners will receive a trophy and a VISA gift card <or> opt to receive a VISA gift card that includes the trophy expense.
All payouts are in the form of a gift card or Capital City Am Tour certificate in accordance with USGA rules of Amateur Status.
