Rules and Format: 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. Teams are assigned into Men, Women and Mixed flights based upon team gender composition. Partner substitutions made within five days of the tournament date must be approved in advance by the CGA office. Any on-site partner substitutions may 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 and caddies are not allowed. Practice rounds are available at host club’s discretion. Metal and ceramic spikes are prohibited. The CGA monitors handicap score posting and reserves the right to adjust course handicaps and/or withhold prizes for competitors whose handicaps are considered unrealistic or who have participated in a disproportionate share of CGA prize distributions. CGA will automatically post a player's tournament score back to their home club.

Prizes and Merchandise: 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, 2nd gross, low net or last place net is broken using the USGA recommended method. The low gross and low net winner from each flight is eligible for the Tournament of Champions.
