Team Formation

 

Teams consist of 4 members (this is a change for 2024). Teams may be comprised of members from a single chapter or may be comprised of members from more than one Chapter or At-Large members  During the competition, opposing teams with members from the same Chapter may compete against each other.

 

Suggested methods for team formation:

•  Select team based on interest; or

•  Conduct a stroke play qualifier and select a combination of lowest gross score and/or lowest net score players; or

•  Conduct a series of Match Play outings with points for wins and ties. Top 8 point earners form the Team; or

•  Use a points system for participation in Chapter events – 1pt. for league play each week; 2 pts. for 18-hole event participation, etc.; or

•  Hold a match play league or ladder and select the 8 players with the most match wins. 

 

Registration for Qualifiers & Team Selection: 

 

Registration Process: 

1.  Registration for all Cup qualifiers will be conducted following this new process.

     a.  Phase 1.  Registration will be open for 5 days.  If an event has more teams registered than we can accomodate, we will conduct a lottery to determine confirmed teams. 

     b.  Phase 2.  Registration will re-open for events that are not at full capacity.  This second phase of registration will be First Come-First Serve.  If an event reaches maximum capacity before the registration deadline, registration for that event will be turned off.

 

                     NOTE:  Players/teams can only register for one event. 

                                  Players or teams registered for more than one event will be removed from rosters.

 

2.  Individual registration.

     a.  Every player must register themselves.  There will NOT be an opportunity to register other players.

     b.  All players will go into a "Pending Registration" status.  Credit card authorizations will be approved but cards will not be charged until a player goes into the Confirmed Roster.

     

3.  Teams moving to the Confirmed Roster.

     a.  When all eight players from a team are registered, the team will be manually moved to a "Waitlist".  (It really helps if all players spell the team name the same way.)

     b.  After conducting any necessary lotteries, teams will be moved into the Confirmed Roster and credit cards will be charged.

     c.  Teams that do not get into an event via a lottery can register for another event during Phase 2.

     d.  In Phase 2, the last player on a team to register will determine the team's place in the First Come-First Serve queue.  In this phase, when a team is full, it may be moved directly from "Pending Registration" to the Confirmed Roster (bypassing the waitlist).  Again, credit cards will be charged when a player goes into the Confirmed Roster.

 

The size of each Regional Qualifier field will vary.  Please see specific information about each Regional Qualifier on their respective portal pages.  

Teams may participate in the Qualifier of their choice regardless of their Chapter’s regional designation.
