2018 Challenge Cup Rules

The Challenge Cup qualification period runs from April 1 through August 31, weather permitting on normal Wednesday and Saturday SGA play days. There are no entrance fees and $1,525 will be paid out to the 16 players who make it to the playoffs in September as follows:

1st - $400   2nd - $200   3rd - $125   4th –  $100 each
5th – 8th  $75  each and 9th – 16th   $50 each

Points:
Points earned on Wednesday and Saturday are combined, so the more you play SGA the better your chance to qualify for the September playoffs. 

Points are awarded throughout the Challenge Cup period to the players on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively, as follows:

Each player that plays the full round on either Wednesday or Saturday will receive 0.5 points for participation. There will be a maximum of 11 points awarded each day of play. There are approximately 40 playing days. (EXCLUDES all Saturday MGA and SGA-sponsored Tournaments). 

            Low Net scores - 5 places awarded:

1st  = 6 points

2nd = 4 points

3rd = 2 point

4th= 1 point (ties for this place each receive 1 point)


Low Gross score = 2 points
NOTE:  See Rules below for winning both Low Gross and a Low Net in the same round.


In the event there are less than 9 players, the points will be as follows:

Low Net scores - 4 places awarded:
1st  =  3 points

2nd = 2 points

3rd = 1 point  (ties for this place will each receive 1 point)

Low Gross score = 2 points


In the event there are five or less players on any given Wednesday or Saturday,
there will be no pointes awarded for play that day.


Rules:

  • A player must have played at least five 18-hole rounds with SGA on Wednesday or Saturday during the last 12 months to be eligible to win points.
  • Since for both Wednesday and Saturday there is an individual Low Net-based game for points or payout, each hole must be played out and the actual score recorded - no maximum.  Scores for the round must be  submitted for handicap purposes and may need to be adjusted for individual hole scores according to the Equitable Stroke Control rules.
  • If a player wins or places second for Low Net and wins Low Gross also in the round, he will only receive the Low NET points since they are higher. In this case, there will be no Low Gross Points awarded.
Playoff Rules

  • The players with the 16 highest points at the end of the Challenge Cup qualification period will qualify to play in the Challenge Cup Playoff.   If multiple players tie for the 16th seed, they will have an 18 hole playoff with no maximum strokes per hole and the lowest net score deemed the winner. 
  • The first round of playoffs is the second or third Saturday in September depending on the calendar. However, players who may not be able to play on that Saturday may play their first-round match on any date prior to that Saturday date. 
  • If a qualifying top-16 player cannot play in Round 1 of the Playoffs (by the Saturday scheduled), the next highest qualifying player will be moved up to complete the field of 16.  No "byes" are provided for Round 1 and no money will be awarded for qualifying players who do not play in the Round 1.
  • Round Two will always be played the Sunday immediately following the completion of Saturday Round 1. Players who cannot play in Round Two after qualifying through winning in Round 1 will be replaced by the player who lost in Round 1 with the lowest Net Score.
  • Because of the limited available weekends in September, the Challenge Cup will be played over three weekend days in September: Saturday and Sunday of the second or third weekend and then the final on the next full SGA regular Saturday play date in September.
  • Each player's regular handicap will be used to calculate respective handicaps, with the proper adjustment made for playing tees. Sedgefield tees are the norm.
  • If your handicap is based on playing 70% of your rounds from the Gold Tees, you may play the Gold Tees with the proper stroke adjustment.
  • No maximum strokes per hole and all putts must be holed.
  • Rounds 1 and 2 will be single elimination Low Net score and seeded based on year-to-date points -  #1 plays #16, #2 plays #15, etc.  In the event of a tie on year-to-date points, the seeding will be based on the most winning points versus participation points. The winning points gaining the higher seed.
  • Final Round – The remaining 4 players play in the Final Round and will play against each other with the player with the lowest net score winning the Challenge Cup, with second, third and fourth places following based on net scores.
  • All ties at the end of 18 holes will be decided based on a card playoff based on last 9, then 6, then 3 holes.
  • In the event of weather issues, the Board will determine, with the aid of the Pro Shop, as to when the particular round(s) may be played. In the event of weather issues, the SGA Board will determine all rules and resolve all issues,
