Match Play Acceptance of Entry and Seeding:
Players will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wish to play, please register below asap to ensure your spot!
Due to the nature of match play brackets, only certain numbers of players will be allowed per division, so please sign up as soon
as possible to ensure your spot. An email detailing your status will be sent to you within 24 hours of your sign up..
After a division is full, match play seeding will be determined by a three step program as follows.
Step 1 - Player with highest 2009 Premier Statewide Points Standing will have the highest seeding (points earned in the stroke play
tournament which precedes the match play will count toward 2009 Statewide Points)
Step 2 - If the player is not on the 2009 Premier Statewide Points List, their seeding will then be determined by their overall (all grad
years) Junior Golf Scoreboard ranking.
Step 3 - If the player has neither of the aforementioned rankings, then their seeding will be determined by a random draw.
(Step 1 has priority over Step 2. Step 2 has priority over Step 3)
