Rules and Format: USGA Rules of Golf govern play.  Tournament format is 36 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 18 strokes. If the difference between the partners’ course handicaps exceeds eight strokes, then an additional 10 percent reduction is applied to both team members. Teams are pre-flighted according to total team course handicap. Partner substitutions are not allowed. Competitors must subscribe to all host club restrictions including dress code and coolers. Cart use is mandatory for tournament rounds and caddies are not allowed. Practice rounds are at the host club’s discretion. Metal and ceramic spikes are prohibited. Competitors may check tournament information, Notice to Players rules sheet and entry status at www.carolinasgolf.org. 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 to winners in all flights. Ties for 1^st and 2^nd place gross, 1^st net or last place net in a flight is broken using the USGA recommended method. Merchandise certificates are redeemable only at the host club's golf shop.
