The Challenge Cup. This is how it works:
Players accumulate points based on their team finish on Wednesday's February 29 – August 29. Points are awarded to each player on Wednesday's winning teams:
If we have 4 or more teams, points will be awarded for 1st and 2nd place. If we have three or less team, points will only be awarded for 1st place.
1st Place - 2 points for each player on the team winning the front, back and overall = 6 total points.
2nd Place - 1 point for each player front, back and overall = 3 total points
9 total points are available.
If teams tie any segment, they split the available points. For example, if two teams tie the front, each player gets 1 1/2 points. If three teams tie the front, each player gets 1 point.
Each month the player with the most points is Player of the Month and then everyone’s points reset to zero for the next month. In the event of a tie for any given month the player with the lowest net score for the month wins with any additional ties broken by a putt-off. You can only win Player of the Month one month during the season.
In September there will be a team based playoff of all the Players of the Month. The March, April and May Players of the Month play as a team against the June, July and August Players of the Month for the Challenge Cup and bragging rights. Playoff date in September and format to be determined.
