Eligibility: Entry is open to any amateur golfer who is a member of a club that is a member of the Carolinas Golf Association and has a current USGA handicap index at a CGA member club. A player with more than one handicap index must use the lowest current index.
Field Selection: Entry forms are accumulated for the entire Open/Close window. When a tournament oversubscribes, accepted teams and alternates are selected using a "blind draw" method. Field divided into 3 flights according to team gender composition (Men, Women, Mixed). Only eight teams from the host club are accepted unless the field is not filled.
Format & Rules: USGA Rules of Golf govern play. Tournament format is 18 holes of four-ball stroke play, both gross and net. According to USGA handicap procedures, 90 percent of a player's course handicap is used to determine net scores. Course handicaps are limited to 30 strokes. If the difference between the partner's course handicaps exceeds eight strokes, then an additional 10 percent reduction is applied to both team members. Partner substitutions made within five days of the tournament date must be approved in advance by the CGA office. Any on-site partner substitutions result in the new partner playing at scratch. Competitors must subscribe to all host club restrictions concerning dress, coolers, etc. Cart use is mandatory for tournament rounds.

Caddies: No caddies.
Prizes: Merchandise is awarded for low gross and low net scores in all flights. Merchandise certificates are redeemable only at the host club's golf shop. Ties for low gross and low net or a prize less than $25 is broken using the USGA recommended method.
Gift Certificates: Gift certificates are valid until May 12, 2009.
Refund Policy: Entry fee will be refunded regardless of reason if the CGA is notified before close of entries.
