This is an individual Quota tournament based on the Stableford system.  Player's point quotas will be determined by subtracting your current handicap from 36.  For example, a player with a handicap of 12 would have a point quota of 24 (36-12=24).  However, no player will be allowed to play with a quota lower than 10.  Points will be earned based on your gross score on each hole as follows:
 

Bogey = 1 point

Par = 2 points

Birdie = 3 points

Eagle = 5 points

Double Eagle = 10 points

Hole-in-One = 10 points
 

Tee played will be determined by flight based on the number of participants and handcap index.
 

Pari-Mutuel betting will be available for this tournament.
 

The MGA will pay $500 cash for any hole-in-one in this tournament.
 

The top five finishers in each flight will earn additional MGA Player of the Year, $2500 Shoot-Out, and Stonebridge Cup qualifying points.

This is an individual stroke play tournament with a twist.  All players will play their own ball at 100% of their current handicap.  The twist is that only 15 holes will count toward the player's score.  At the end of the round, each player will "strike" three holes from his scorecard.  The three holes to be "struck" will be in relation to par.  Example,  if you have a 6 on a par five and a 6 on a par 4, you'll strike the par 4 since that score is 2 over par.

We will have flights from the Gold, Blue and White tees in this tournament.  The flight you play in will be determined by the number of participants and your handicap index.

Pari-Mutuel betting will be available for this tournament.

The top five finishers in each flight will receive additional MGA Player of the Year, $2500 Shoot-Out, and Stonebridge Cup qualifying points.
