| Mabuhay Golf Club Match Play Tournament Rules for 2012 Eligible Participants: Current members of the club with established NCGA handicap prior to the scheduled 1st round of the Match play tournament are eligible to participate. Pairing Selection: The 2012 MGC Match Play Tournament will consist of 4 divisions and eligible participants will be assigned and compete in their assigned division. Winners of each division will compete for the quarters, semis and final match play. Participants will be seeded based on their handicaps and match play pairings will be pit low seed players against high seed players. See attached pairing grid for the outline of the division pairings. Handicap Adjustment: Handicaps used during the match play will be 80% of the course adjusted tournament handicap assigned to each player by the MGC VP of Handicap (John Warren). New members without an established NCGA handicap index are not be eligible to participate in the Match Play. For those playing a re-scheduled match, please check with Rey Singson for the match play adjusted handicap on re- scheduled matches. Applying Handicap Strokes During Match Play: 80% of the player’s Adjusted Course Handicap will be used to determine the number of strokes a player will give/receive during match play against his/her opponent. For example, Player 1 adjusted course handicap at 80% is 8 and Player 2 adjusted course handicap is 12, player 1 gives player 2 four (4) strokes during their match. Player 2 gets 1 “pop” or a stroke on handicap holes 1, 2, 3 and 4. The Match Play coordinator will distribute a separate Match Play scorecard highlighting the holes where the player will give or receive a stroke. Tiebreakers: If the match is tied after the 18th hole, a count back will be applied to determine the winner, starting from the easiest handicap hole which is the 18th handicap hole (i.e., player 1 scores a bogey and player 2 scores a par on the 18th handicap hole, player 2 wins the hole assuming player 1 does not get a stroke on the 18th handicap hole). In the event where both players net scores are tied on the 18th handicap hole, the tie breaker will be decided on the 17th handicap hole, and so on. Re-Scheduled Matches: If player 1 is unable to meet with player 2 and player 2 is playing at the scheduled MGC Match Play Tournament date, player 1 defaults the match unless player 2 agrees to re-schedule their match. Re-scheduled matches must be completed 5 days before the next scheduled MGC Tournament / Match Play Tournament. If Player 1 re-schedules match with Player 2, player 1 may be held responsible to pay the green / cart fees at the re-scheduled location. Failure to re- schedule the match before the deadline will result in an automatic default by Player 1. All re-scheduled matches may be played at the same golf course the scheduled tournament was held at (subject to change in course venue with both parties in agreement). All re-scheduled matches should be witnessed by at least one active MGC member. Result of the match must be submitted to the Match Play Chairperson by either player or the attending witness prior to the next MGC Tournament. Failure to comply will automatically result in a default of player 1. If both players are unable to play during their scheduled match and were unable to re-schedule their match within the above mentioned timeframe, both players default and cannot advance to the next round. Determining Who Gets a “Bye” on Advancing Players: In the event where the players advancing to the next round of match play resulted in an odd number of matches, an advancing player in each division may be awarded a bye and advance to the next round. The advancing match play competitor in each division with the lowest net score during the scheduled tournament and is an advancing match play participant will receive the bye for the next round. Scoring Errors: A separate scorecard for each player will be provided for the Match Play Tournament. Players must track their match play score separately from the regular tournament scorecard. Match Play scorecards will be matched with the Tournament Scorecards for consistency. Any discrepancy or inquiries to the score under the match play scorecard will be adjusted using the tournament scores submitted. A disqualified player from the regular tournament automatically loses in match play. |
