Championship Divisions: The Championship Divisions for each Women's Championship will not be flighted due to field size and handicap breakdown.
Other Divisions: The Middle & Forward Divisions for each Women's Championship will likely be pre-flighted based on individual handicaps. Generally, divisions of more than 13 individuals will be flighted, however the Committee reserves the right to flight based on the number of individuals and/or the range of individual handicaps or scores.
Breaking TiesChampionship Divisions - The overall Champion will be the individual from the Championship Division with the lowest total Gross score. In the event of a tie for first place in the Championship Division there will be a hole-by-hole sudden death playoff on a hole designated by the Committee to determine the champion.
Other Divisions - Ties for first place gross and first place net in each flight of the Middle and Forward Divisions will be broken by a modified USGA tie break method. The final day 18 hole respective score, whether gross or net, will be used to determine the first place gross or net individual. If there is still a tie, the final 9 holes of the last day (holes #10-18) will be used to determine the winner. If there is still a tie, the final 6 holes are used; then if needed the final 3 holes; then the final hole; then by coin flip.
