Who is Eligible to Compete?
All EWGA Chapter Members in good standing who are female amateur golfers* and have a verifiable USGA Handicap Index of 32.0 or less at the entry deadline are eligible to compete. Eligible players must also have a minimum of (3) 18-hole scores posted to their 2012 handicap record by the Regional Qualifier deadline.
The Team Formation Process
Chapters will form their own teams. Teams will consist of 8 members. Chapters may form teams called Inter-Chapter Teams consisting of members from multiple Chapters. Chapters may field multiple teams. Chapters must form their teams based on one of the following methods set forth by the Champions Cup Committee:
- Select from lowest to highest handicap of those whom have expressed their commitment to play (this method is recommended for Inter-Chapters teams); or
- Conduct a stroke play qualifier and select a combination of lowest gross score players and/or lowest net score players; or
- Conduct a series of Match Play outings with points for wins and ties. Top 8 point earners form the Tea; or
- Use a points system for participation in Chapter events - 1 point for league play each week; 2 points for 18-hole event participation, etc.; or
- Hold a match play league or ladder and select the 8 players with the most match wins.
