Registration/Starting Times Competition Rounds Each 18-hole Sneds Tour event is played as two nine (9) hole rounds. This allows the field staff on site to shorten an event to nine holes if weather, daylight, etc. will not permit an 18-hole division to complete all 18 holes the day of the tournament. If a one-day, 18-hole event is shortened due to weather the tournament will NOT be resumed the following day, and a winner will be crowned as long as all participants in a division are able to complete at least nine holes. Scorecards/Scoring Area At all Sneds Tour events, players will be issued official tournament scorecards. Players are expected to serve as a marker for another competitor. Competitors should check scores at the completion of each hole. Players should keep track of their own score on the "Markers Notes" section of the scorecard. At the completion of the round, players MUST report directly to the scoring area. In the scoring area, a staff member will be available for rulings and to aid in the scoring process. Players should remain in the scoring area until scoring is completed for all players in their group. A scorecard is considered returned when a player verbally confirms their score with the staff member and exits the scoring area. No corrections can be made after a player has left the scoring area. For Micro and 4-7 division events, caddies may assist the player with keeping score, but ultimately it's the player's responsibility to keep his or her scorecard. Only players should report directly to the designated scoring area, but caddies should be readily available should a question or dispute arise. Breaking Ties Ties for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be broken by the USGA's recommended scorecard playoff method (last nine holes, last six holes, last three holes, last hole). If the tournament has a double tee start, the last nine holes, last 6 holes, etc. is considered to be Nos. 10-18, 13-18, etc. |
