NEW FORMAT

Captains will decide the following: There will be 3 designated putters, 1 chip off player, 2 wildcard players, and 6 players that will play in a true alternate shot rotation. 

Putters: True alternate shot rotation, captains must list the order on Friday (for all players) NO SHOWS pay a heavy penalty and could screw their team. Make sure you bring a full field. 

Chip Off Player: One player to do ALL chip off's - Wild card player CANNOT substitute for this position.

Wildcard Players: These are two-players that can replace any player at any time- other than the chip-off. IF you have a "no show" player, they can fill the spot. If you have less than 9 players -your team is disqualified. If you have 9, you must forfeit the "chip-off" player and hope you do not tie, as you will lose all ties, because you have no chipper. If you have 10 or 11, you must substitute the missing players with a wildcard player. You will lose the "wildcard' option, making it harder. This is a TRUE TEAM competition. Putters only putt when on the green, leather is good. Any shot out of bounds will need to be re-hit from the original spot in the shoot-out. On the final hole -if the 2 teams tie -the hole will be played from 100 yards out, using the same rotation. IF there is a second tie, there will be a putt off decided by the 3 putters -in the same rotation. ALL putts in this round must be putt out- leather doesn't apply. IF this is tie, the chipper will decide the winner- with a bunker shot, closest to pin wins!
