Sign-up Sheets:

• Place on your bulletin board for all EDWGA events at least a month before the first tourney.
• State date and day of event
• Site, Starting Time and special information i.e. lunch, carts, index, name, deadline for sign-up and cancellation.

Pairings:

• Pairings shall be done by handicap. It is advisable for the rep to review the pairings from previous tournaments to avoid having members playing with the same competitors at multiple events. Pairings will be archived on the "TeeTimes" page of the EDWGA web site.
• No handicap to be over 28. All over 28 unearned handicap to be in one flight. Pair this group according to index, but place 28 handicap on tourney sheet.

Pairings Sheet Format:

• Location, Date, and Time in Header
• A "Table format" is preferred. Tee assignment plus names of players in the group with home club initials in parentheses, all in one row. Double-spaced lines will facilitate making changes.
• Email pairings to each club rep and to the Webmaster by Thursday of the week prior to the tournament. Thursday is deadline for Sunday's paper. FAX, Mail, or hand deliver.

Flighted Tournament Sheets:

• List participants according to handicap on the tourney sheets with approximately 17-22 in each flight. Naturally, all flights will not have the same number of players. i.e. you have 25 with handicaps of 25 and 26, all can be in the same flight. All unearned 28 handicappers are in the same flight playing to a 28 maximum.
• It is recommended that each rep assure that adjusted scores are posted for handicap purposes by submitting the scores to her club professional for posting. In the case where there is no professional, she should check that her members have accurately posted their tournament scores and firmly remind them to do so within three (3) days of the event. If necessary, learn how to post for her members.

New Members:

• Shall have an established U.S.G.A. maximum index based on 20 eighteen-hole rounds to be eligible for membership. One may join any time of the season. For the first year, a new member's index must be maintained at or below the entry index. After the first year, membership continues upon payment of the yearly dues regardless of index. In the event membership is cancelled, the current index requirement stands for re-entry.
