How Does the Points System Work?

At the 2014 Year End Meeting and Elections, the members and BOD in attendance voted to award So Cal Series Points as follows:

So Cal Series Champions and points leaders are determined as follows:

Pro Divisions:

·  The best seven finishes in a division are used to determine the So Cal Series standings. Highest number of points is the winner.

Am Divisions:

·  The best seven finishes in a division are used to determine the So Cal Series standings. Highest number of points is the winner. Top Finishers will receive awards.

SO CAL MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED

·  Player must be a registered member of So Cal prior to the start of an event to be awarded So Cal Series points for that event.

PARTICIPATION POINTS

·  Player earns 5 points for every round completed, no matter how many holes are played in the round (Excluding Final 9 and overtime playoffs). This means that 2-day, one round per day tournaments on 27-hole courses will no longer receive 15 participation points but will now receive 10 participation points.

PERFORMANCE POINTS

 ·  Player earns 1 point for each person in their division that they beat or tie. 1 Extra performance point will be awarded for a first place tournament victory.

BONUS POINTS

· Players in the So Cal Championships receive one bonus point for every So Cal Series event they completed.  Players can earn a maximum bonus award of 10 bonus points – even if they play in more than 10 tournaments.

 ·  Bonus points will only be awarded to players that compete in the So Cal Championships. If a player competes in both Am and Pro divisions, they will only receive bonus points for one division.

·  DNF: You will receive ZERO points for the entire tournament if you do not finish every required round of the tournament.
