Tournament Format

Entries are subject to rejection, or withdrawal, at any time at the discretion of the AGA.

The Championship will be conducted on a stroke play basis for 54 holes, 18 holes daily on September 5-7, 2012. Players will be placed in to flights based on their team score after 36 holes.

The field will be limited to 120 entries (60 teams). In the event the Championship becomes over-subscribed, the Final Field will be determined using a combination of Team's AGA Player Points, previous performances in AGA events and verified USGA Handicap Index.

In Four-ball Stroke Play two competitors play as partners, each playing her own ball. The lower score of the partners is the score for the hole. If one partner fails to complete the play of the hole, there is no penalty.

In the event of a tie for the Championship flight, there will be a "multi-hole" play-off commencing immediately following play (the holes involved to be determined by the AGA) with the Champion being determined by the lowest total of those holes. If a tie, or ties, still exists, the Champion will then be decided by "sudden death" following the same sequence of holes. After the Champion has been determined, all other ties in all other flights, will be resolved by matching scorecards according to the USGA recommendation shown in Appendix I of the 2012-2015 Rules of Golf, How to Decide Ties, page 144(c), except that if the tie still exists, scores for the first 9 holes shall be treated in the same way until a winner is produced. Any remaining ties will be decided by matching scorecards hole-by-hole, beginning at the 18th hole.
