Entry Procedures:
Entrants must fill in an official entry form available for professionals through TaylorMade Golf. Amateurs may obtain entry forms through their TaylorMade professional.
Acceptance Policy:
Tournament entries must be submitted with $1000.00 amateur deposits. A team will not be considered for entry without a total of $3000.00 represented in team deposits. Team professional will be informed as to acceptance in the field following receipt of all team deposits.
Team Payment and Final Entry Process:
Following acceptance into the field, the following payment and cancellation policy applies for the team:
- Final entry payments are due prior to July 1, 2008. Final payments must be made by ALL participants at this time or team may forfeit position in the field, to be replaced with a wait-list team.
- The full team may cancel prior to July 1, 2008 with no penalty.
- Between July 1 and August 15, 2008 a team which cancels shall receive a 50% refund if cancellation is submitted in writing.
-
A team cancelling after August 15, 2008 will receive no entry refund.
-
It is the team's responsibility to field a team of 3 amateurs and 1 professional.
Individual Cancellation:
- The tournament is not an “individual” event. Just as a basketball team requires 5 players to compete, this tournament requires 3 amateurs and 1 professional to compete. If a player cancels, the team must either replace the player, or the team will be required to cancel with the applicable cancellation penalties noted above.
- If a player cancels and is successfully replaced, funds will only be refunded to the player who cancels following receipt of payments from the replacement player.
- If a player cancels and the team cannot replace the player despite all efforts, tournament officials will attempt to locate a local replacement player. Note that in this case there will be no refund for the player who cancelled.
Cancellation Insurance:
We highly recommend cancellation insurance. Each team entry is only accepted with the cancellation policy understood by the participants.
