Inaugural  Match Play Champions Cup
Interested in plyaing? Match Play Teams are now being formed !!!

What is the Match Play Champions Cup?
 
The Match Play Champions Cup is an inaugural regional competitive event that will be used as a pilot program to roll out on a national level in 2011. The “Vision” is to have the EWGA National Match Play Championship in addition to the current EWGA National Championship as our Organizations second official major national competition. 

This event dubbed the Match Play Champions Cup will be a weekend event with 36 holes being played the first day, and 18 holes the second day.  The format will consist of Team Match Play competitions held over 3 rounds.  Each team will be comprised of 16 players, each playing an individual match for their Team.  Teams will be placed in brackets, and the winner of each match will be the Team who wins the greater number of individual matches against their opposing team. 

The Tournament will be comprised of 3 Rounds, with the winning Teams advancing through the brackets to hopefully play in the Match Play Championship Finals.  Teams losing in a particular round play in consolation matches, so every team that attends will be playing all 3 rounds over course of the event.

In this inaugural year, there will be 8 teams with 16 players each.  Many of these Teams may consist of several chapters.  As a result, Chapters may be allocated between 5 and 16 spots on a given Team.  Once we get the entry forms in, and see how many players we have, we will set the teams.

Eligibility Requirements: 
Official USGA Handicap Index of 25.0 or less - TEAM SELECTED as described below.

Who is Eligible To Make the Team?
First and foremost, this event is designed to be one of our most competitive tournaments and to draw from our lowest handicap players and most competitive golfers across the Organization. 

Eligible players must be EWGA members in good standing, and have an official USGA or GLMS Handicap Index of 25.0 or less.  Teams are limited to 16 spots, and many teams will be comprised of several chapters.  Spots on the Team should be extended to each Chapter’s lowest "known" handicap players.  Upon decline by the lowest known handicap players, spots should be filled based on the "next in line" in terms of handicap ranking of those who expressed an interest in playing.
