• The field will then be divided into four pods using a snake draft method.
• A blind draw within each pod will determine first-round matchups.
• If the field size results in byes, they will be awarded to the highest-seeded players in order of ranking (e.g., if one bye is required, it will be awarded to the 1st seed; if two byes are required, they will be awarded to the 1st and 2nd seeds, etc.).

• Round of 64 – June 3rd

• The semi-final and finals will take place at The Pulpit Club on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.

MATCH GUIDELINES

1. Matches not played by the deadline date will result in a coin flip to determine which player advances.
2. The player with the lower seed (higher number) will be responsible for making the initial contact to set up the match.
3. All matches will be played until a winner is declared.
4. The winner of the match is responsible for reporting the match result and where it was played to Jerri McRogers

5. Players are responsible for the cost of their green fees. Seeing as it may be challenging to book tee times as a guest, we suggest that members play their matches at their respective host facilities.
