The tournament will be conducted using the USGA Handicap System. Based on their USGA Handicap Index, each entrant will play their tournament rounds with a daily handicap determined by the USGA Slope Rating of that entrant's assigned golf courses.
For verification and final flight placement, all players will be required to submit a copy of their current handicap card and may be required to submit a full handicap history to tournament headquarters. The card must clearly indicate an entrant's handicap index. All entrants must have an established USGA Handicap Index prior to June 1, 2006. Players should contact their local PGA professional for assistance in establishing a USGA Handicap Index. If a player maintains two handicaps, the lower USGA Handicap must me used. All participants are required to notify tournament officials prior to on-site registration if there has been a change in their handicap. A valid USGA handicap reflects all golf scores regardless of the course or conditions, and must be formulated according to the guidelines established by the USGA. Any unusual posting procedures, such as ceasing to post scores for a period leading up to the event, may be grounds for disqualification.

Any participant found using a fraudulent handicap will be expelled from the tournament and all fees will be forfeited. The tournament committee reserves the right to adjust handicaps at any time during the event. All contestants must have their CURRENT handicap card at the time of registration.
