The four (4) division winners from each period will advance to the playoffs plus 1 wildcard (highest point totals for non-division winners and ties). Anyone winning their division for all 3 periods will get a bye for the first round of the playoffs. At the conclusion of the each period we will redraw the divisions based on handicap. Prize money will be determined at a later date by the league officers.
15. Playoffs There will be 4 division winners and 1 wildcard each period. The wildcards will be the players (and ties) with the highest point totals that didn’t win a division.
During the Playoffs any ties will be determined in Sudden Death play, beginning on hole number 1 of the 9 being played that night, using handicaps.
