PROCEDURE FOR HOSTING A CALGA TOURNAMENT
Refer to rule numbers 3 and 4 and "SPECIAL CALGA RULES OF PLAY" IN CALGA MANUAL to determine playing field.
The host club must prepare an invoice for cart fees and tips for the CALGA Treasurer. A check will be mailed to the host club for the agreed amount once the CALGA Treasurer confirms the total of the invoice.
1. ENTRY SHEETS AND CHECKS:
The CALGA Rep. from each club will mail two (2) copies of an alphabetized entry list of players with USGA handicap index and other pertinent information. See #10 for entry sheet disbursement.
A check (or checks) for entry and cart fee will be included.
Determine that the check/checks match the number of entries.
Determine that the handicap is correct for your course slope and rating.
(See handicap table in the CALGA manual.)
If you do not receive any entries from a club, call them to make sure their entries are not en route.
There are no refunds for cancellations once the checks have been mailed to the host club.
Endorse checks "deposit only".
Prepare a list of all players by handicap, starting with the lowest handicap. This will be used for flight sheets, pairings, and scorecards.
2. FLIGHT SHEETS
See sample flight sheet in CALGA manual.
The host pro may volunteer to prepare flight sheets
Determine flights by listing players by handicap starting with the lowest handicaps.
72 players 6 flights
84 players 7 flights
96 players 8 flights
108 players 9 flights
120 players 10 flights
Each flight should have approximately 12 players.
Designate flights by number, such as FLIGHT 1, FLIGHT 2, FLIGHT 3, etc.
Players with like handicaps MUST stay in the same flight, DO NOT SPLIT, regardless of number in flight.
The flight sheet lists the alphabetized names (last name first), club, handicap, gross score and net score.
All cancellations, no shows, and withdrawal's must be posted on the flight sheets prior to the end of the tournament
.
At the bottom of the 1ST FLIGHT sheet, print:
Field Low Gross
Field Low Net
On the bottom of ALL flight sheets, print:
1st Low Gross
1st Low Net
2nd Low Gross
2nd Low Net
3rd Low Net
Leave space on bottom of the flight sheets to list winners. Leave enough room to list any ties.
3. PAIRINGS SHEETS
See sample in the CALGA manual on how to make hole assignments.
Pairings should be put together by the rep. not the pro.
If possible, do not pair players from the same club.
Use the CALGA methodology (wheel) for pairing's. The wheel system helps speed up play.
Pair foursomes/threesomes by handicap and flight if possible. If necessary, a player may be paired to play with a player having a different handicap and not in the same flight.
Print five (5) copies of the pairing sheet. Post two (2) copies in convenient areas for players to view. One (1) copy to the pro shop, one (1) copy to the bag boys, one (1) copy to the host club CALGA Rep.
