ENTRY DEADLINE: COB on May 7, 2008, by 5:00 PM

ENTRIES: There is an entry fee for team and individual qualifiers. State tournament team qualifiers are the best eight teams based on their regular season modified USGA nine hole index. Eighteen hole matches will be scored as two nine hole matches. Nine hole indexes for NC and SC may be found on the www.carolinasgolf.org website. A team member of individual entry must have competed in a minimum of four (4) contests on 4 separate dates during the regular season. In computing the modified USGA handicap index, each team or individual entry is allowed to drop the highest round for the regular season.  Note:  During the regular season, a "Par Plus 5" rule is in effect for qualifying scores.  If a player reaches 5 over par on any hole, he/she may record that score.  However, in the state tournament, every hole is played until the ball is holed out. Additionally, the best NINE individual golfers whose modified USGA regular season index is under 6 and who are not on a qualifying team will be selected to compete for state tournament. Individual honors are obligated to accept the tournament invitation. During the regular season, match scores must be faxed to the Sport Chair by the end of each week. Any team failing to report their score as indicated above will forfeit their opportunity to participate in the state play-offs. NO SCORES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER ENTRY DEADLINE.

STARTING TIMES AND PAIRING: Starting times will be assigned by the Sport Chair/Site Director.

1A/2A/3A:  The tournaments will consist of a 2 day, 36 hole format.  On the first day, teams who are in first, second, third, and fourth places by team handicap index will tee off together.  Teams in fifth through eighth places will tee off together, and the players who are competing as individuals will tee off last.  Once a player tees off on the first day, he/she may not be substituted.

On the second day, the teams in first through fourth places will tee off together with the higher scores going off earliest, and the teams in fifth through eighth will tee off together. On the second day, the individuals tee off first.

TOURNAMENT PROCEDURES

PLAYING RULES: USGA rules will prevail except where modified and approved by the Sport Manager. Rulings, if necessary, will be made by the host professional. Caddies are prohibited with the exception of those necessary for physically handicapped persons.

In an attempt to standardize USGA indexing, both boys and girls must play from tees at no less than 6100 yards during the regular and post seasons on courses already rated by the USGA..

The local pro and/or CGA official will be the final authority on all rules interpretations; in case of any question during play, a second ball will be played, and the local pro will rule on the question. All playing rules will be provided to each player before the tournament play begins.

Team scores will be determined by the four lowest scoring players per team. PLEASE NOTE: In case of tie, all six team members will go into sudden death play. The lowest four scorers on the team will then count. In case of tie for State Medalist, players will go into a sudden death play-off starting on the first play-off hole.

During regular season matches if players are allowed to improve their lie, the following procedure must be used.  A player may lift, clean and place his/her ball one club length - no closer to the hole - in the fairway only of the hole being played.  All other local rules apply.

Electronic devices for measuring distance are permitted. Any other electronic devices (ie: wind or slope, etc) will NOT be permitted.

ADMISSION: For all NCISAA play-off events, admission is $5.00 per person. Children under the age of eight will be admitted free. 100% of gate receipts, after expenses, is due the NCISAA.
