Entry Procedure:  The field will be established in the order in which entries are received with a priority for exempt players in each division until the published exemption deadline of May 29, 2024 at 5:00 PM. Once the exemption deadline has passed, and if the field or a division is not full, the TGA will fill the remaining spots in the field with wait listed entries, which may affect the size of each division.

Wait list Procedure/Priority: When a spot becomes available in the championship field, the TGA will fill that spot with the top ranked wait listed team in the division respective to the withdraw. Once all wait listed teams in a specific division have been exhausted, the TGA will then fill the spot in the field with the highest ranked wait listed team, regardless of division. For example: If a team from the NET Flighted Division withdraws, the highest ranked NET Flighted Division team on the wait list will be contacted to fill that spot. If there are no remaining NET Flighted Division teams on the wait list, the highest overall wait listed team will be contact. This could be a Championship Division team. 

Championship Information

Format/Field Size: The field will be limited to 80 teams. The Championship Division will consist of a maximum 40 teams. These teams will play four-ball stroke play in rounds one and two. After 36 holes, the Championship Division will be separated into two flights. The low 50% (and ties) will make up the Championship Flight and will play Combined Score (individual stroke play using both players scores) in the final round to determine the overall champion. The team with the lowest 54-hole total will determine the overall champions. The remaining teams from the Championship Division will be placed in the Presidents Flight and will play another round of four-ball stroke play for their final round. Teams will carry their 36-hole total score forward to determine the President Flight winner. The team with the lowest 54-hole total will determine the winner.
