2010 Match Play deadlines for each round WILL be strictly enforced. Matches must be completed within the time frame allowed (15 days per round) or you will be eliminated from competition. This will allow us to have a second half tournament and enough time for each half winner to compete for the championship. PGT will monitor and check on each competitor to see who cannot make their match. That player will forfeit if it is found they cannot make the effort to complete their match. Both competitors may forfeit that round if it cannot be completed. Second half tournament can begin mid July or as soon as filled. All first half players can sign up for second half right away (if winner of first half is also winner of second half, he is the Champion)
This is a handicapped event (using 85% of index), one flight, single elimination match play tournament. There will be two brackets of eight players if only 16 register OR four brackets of seven players (one bye slot in each bracket for last years bracket winner if not a full field). White tees will be played by both players unless both agree on Blue. Both players must play from same tees (except ladies play from red). Handicaps will be course and tee adjusted.
