2008 HAGA Match Play Rules
Tournament Director: David Salvati
david.salvati@yahoo.com
Schedule:
Play will begin in March 2008. Each match will be arranged by the individuals involved with the following cut-off dates.
Round 1: Field of 32. Matches to be completed no later than April 30th.
Round 2: Sweet 16. Matches to be completed no later than May 31st.
Round 3: Elite 8. Matches to be completed no later than June 30th.
Round 4: Final 4. Matches to be completed no later than July 31st.
Championship: Match to be completed no later than August 31st.
Pairings:
For 2008, we divided the field into two brackets based on handicaps as of March 11, 2008. Players with handicaps in the range 0-10 were placed in the first bracket and players with 10-24 in the second. Players were then paired within each bracket by a random draw.
Notification:
The Match Play Tournament Director (MPTD) will notify each player by phone or e-mail as to whom they play in their next match. There will be a spreadsheet and a webpage with the brackets distributed to all who are engaged. In addition there will be notification of the match play progress posted at each HAGA event.
Format:
The time and location should be mutually agreeable to both parties however, if agreement cannot be reached, the player giving strokes will make the determination of location. The player giving strokes will select the tees to be played. The rules for match play differ from stroke play. The rules of golf stipulate that a match play event cannot be played within a stroke play tournament. Matches must be played outside of our regular stroke play tournaments.
It is the responsibility of both players to play the match in the time allotted. If the match is not played in the allotted time, the player unable to make the scheduled match will forfeit and the other player will advance. If neither player can make the scheduled match then both players may forfeit the match at the discretion of the MPTD. Matches will extend past the deadline date only with the permission of the MPTD. As soon as a match is completed both participants should notify the MPTD of the results by either phone or email. It is the responsibility of the winning player to return the signed scorecard to the MPTD.
Ties:
Matches cannot end in a tie. The round will be extended to as many holes as are required for the match to be completed.
Disputes and Claims:
Disputes and claims should be settled before the match is complete. If a player wishes to make a claim he should notify his opponent of the claim before proceeding to the next hole. If there is a disagreement as to the claim, the players must continue playing and after the round notify the MPTD as soon as possible. Once notified, the MPTD will determine the status of the claim and the match. The MPTD may consult with the HAGA Rules Committee before the claim is settled.
Handicaps:
The GHIN handicap indexes in effect as of the date of the match must be used for each match. The index will be used with the slope rating of the course played to calculate the course handicaps for the day. The difference in course handicaps will be used on the holes as they fall. The same procedure will be used when a match proceeds into extra holes. A list of players and their GHIN numbers will be published and can be verified at any time by going to the GHIN web site.
In accordance with USGA Rules of Golf, scores in match play need to be posted for handicap purposes. If a player is conceded a stroke or a hole that player shall record for handicap purposes the score he most likely would have made. That score should be preceded by an “X”. If a player decides not play a hole (for example the match is completed at 3 and 2 and they decide not to play the last two holes) the score, for handicap purposes will be par plus any handicap strokes they are entitled to receive. Those scores should also be preceded by an “X”.
One Player of the Year point will be awarded for each match played in the HAGA Match Play Tournament.
The presentation of the 2008 Match Play Champion will be at the Club Championship.
