Pre-registration is encouraged, but not required, however registration for a session will cut off 5-10 minutes before it begins (or if the session sells out).Lists of registered players will not be available until their respective rounds begin.Ranking –Rankings will be determined by the total pointage of a player’s best four sessions combined together.Any additional sessions that aren’t being used in a player’s ranking will be used for tie-breaking purposes.B division tickets do not restrict upward movement, so, for example, a player who’s B eligible can still qualify for A division if their scores are high enough.Top 24 players qualify for main division playoffs with 48 players. Top 16 32 – 47 players.Top 8 B eligible players who did not qualify A division will instead qualify for B division prizing.Players can check qualifying standings on the MatchPlay Series page, or to see with tie breakers and B division.

If for some reason a qualifying session runs past its allocated time slot and beyond the start time of another session, the next session will be delayed until the first one finishes.If a round ends unusually early or does not occur due to low participation, another round may be added to fill a time slot.

A finals start on Sunday at 2:45pm.B finals start on Sunday at 3:15pm.

Ties –Significant ties (to make it into finals) will be played off on a randomly selected EM or SS game, with the winner of that game being the winner of the tie breaker at the conclusion of the last session Sunday.Ties for other positions in main division will be determined by whichever player has the higher ranking on their next highest ranking session that is not contributing to their standings. (ex. Both players in the tie have 60 total points from their best four rounds. Player one played a fifth round in which they got 14, player two played a fifth round in which they got 12. Player one would win the tiebreaker. If a player does not have results for an additional session it will be as if that player’s additional session was a 0.If the tied players also tie in their additional sessions, then whichever player had the single highest scoring session will win the tiebreaker.In the extremely rare case that both players have the exact same scores across all qualifying attempts, the tie will be broken by a one ball playoff on an EM.

FINALSGeneral information –A and B Division finals begin Sunday at 2:45pm and 3:15pm respectively.A and B Finals are played in 4-player PAPA scoring (4, 2, 1, 0).Four player games are scored with 1st earning 4 points, 2nd earning 2 points, 3rd earning 1 point, and 4th receiving 0 points.The top two players from each group will advance to the next round.If there is a tie in point totals for the top two players in a group, the tied players will play off on a randomly selected game. Play order selection will be based on seeding.
