Qualifying

A "Match Play Play-In” qualifier will be conducted Wednesday, August 8, 2012 to determine the remaining match play field after the exempt players have been identified.  The "Match Play Play-In" qualifier will be conducted if the qualifying field is twice the number of non-exempt spots or less. 

In the event the number of qualifiers exceeds the number stated above, a qualifying round of 18 holes of stroke play will be conducted.

In the event the number of qualifiers exceeds 144, acceptance of entries into qualifying will be determined using a combination of the AGA's Player Points List, previous performances in AGA events and verified USGA Handicap Index.

In the event of a tie(s) for the last match play position(s), a "sudden death" playoff for that position(s) will commence immediately following the conclusion of the stroke play qualifier, or as soon as practicable.

Match Play Draw

Exempt players will be seeded into match play in accordance with recommendations as set forth by the USGA based on their positions on the points list. Players having the same number of points will be seeded by lot.

Qualifiers will be seeded into match play based on their qualifying score, with ties being decided by lot.
