Championship Flight: For those who choose to qualify for the Championship Flight, the format will be as follows:

      • A four-day tournament comprised of an 18-hole stroke play qualifying round on the first day followed by three days of match play.
      • Results of the qualifying round will determine seeding and flighting for the match play rounds.
      • If a player chooses to qualify for the Championship Flight, she must:
      • Notify her intent when registering for the District Championship.
      • Play in the stroke play qualifying round that will take place on Tuesday of the qualifying week.
      • The Championship Flight will consist of eight players. The first seed in the Championship Flight will be reserved for the prior year’s Champion.
      • The seven lowest gross scores from the qualifying round will complete the flight. They will be seeded solely on the scores from the qualifying round.
      • Ties for the eighth position of the championship flight will be determined by a scorecard playoff.
      • If the previous year’s Champion does not defend her title, the eight lowest gross scores from the qualifying round will be seeded solely on the scores from the qualifying round.
      • The Flight will be final when scoring has been completed and any ties have been settled by a scorecard playoff.
      • Those who do not qualify for the Championship Flight will be seeded in a non-Championship Fight. Seeding will be based on their Handicap Index from the Friday before the event. The score from the Tuesday round will not have any impact on the seeding in the non-Championship Flights.
      • The medalist from the qualifying round will receive the Alice Seagrave charm bracelet to enjoy until the start of the following year’s District Championship.
      • The final match in the Championship Flight will be a 36-hole match. All other flights, including the Championship Consolation Flight, will be an 18-hole match.  All match play contests will be settled by sudden death.
      • This tournament is a qualifier for the Past Presidents’ Award and participants must “hole-out” and record their gross score on every hole.
      • Scores from this event must be posted within 48 hours to qualify for the Past Presidents’ Award.

 

Non-Championship Flights: For those who choose to play in a non-Championship Flight, the format will be as follows:

      • The Player will be flighted and seeded based on Handicap Index from the Friday before the event. There will be three days of match play beginning Wednesday of Championship week.
      • The Player may choose to play a practice round on Tuesday.
      • The Player may skip the practice round on Tuesday.
      • No matter which option is chosen, match play will begin the Wednesday of Championship week.
