This competition will be a season
long event with three qualifiers at the beginning of the
year. Matches will begin upon completion of the qualifying
and will have to be completed, during league play, by a
specific date. There will be 64 players who will make it
into the match-play field and those qualifiers will come from the
three GCNJ events designated as "GCNJ Match-Play
Qualifiers". Since there are 8 players exempt from this
years qualifying (see below) there will be 55 spots
available from these qualifiers. Those events are the March 22nd Atlantic
City Open at Emerald Links, the March 30th Formy Open
at Twisted Dune and the April 5th Masters at Blue
Heron. Based on their individual net score for the day, the
top 14 lowest net scores at Emerald Links will qualify for
the matches. The top 14 lowest net scores at Twisted Dune
will be the next 14 into the match-play and the field will
be set at the Masters where the top 28 individual net scores
will qualify.
YOU CAN
ATTEMPT TO QUALIFY AT ALL 3 SITES; HOWEVER, ONCE YOU QUALIFY
YOUR SEEDING IS SET.
Players
will be seeded based on their qualifying position at each
site. Once the matches are seeded, the brackets will be set
and players will have a designated number of events to get
the match completed with the winner of each match moving on
into the next round. The Champion will be crowned the 2008 GCNJ Match-Play Champion and receive a great prize that will
be announced later. Players will use their current USGA
Handicap Index at the time of the match and matches must be
completed head-to-head during league play as follows:
Rd 1 - (64 players) will be completed between
April 14 and April 28
Rd 2 - (32 players) will be completed between
