Entry Procedure: Entries will be accepted by order of entry except if the event is oversubscribed in the first 24 hours.

For example, a partnership with handicaps of 12 and 22, would be adjusted to a 12 and 20. April 10, 2024, handicap index will be used for flights and scoring.

The team with the most points after the 45 holes will be the flight winner. The teams will be pre-flighted into flights of six (6) based on the combined team handicap index.
