Dates and Sites: 2019 April 24-28, Location TBD

Dress Code: Contestants must wear uniforms of the same color during competition and practice. Walking or Bermuda shorts are permitted, provided they are team shorts and are of the same color. Slacks or shorts may be worn at the individual’s discretion, provided they are of the same color and are considered the team uniform. If a student-athlete wears headgear during competition, it must display only an institutional, conference or NCAA logo, or no logo. If there is no logo, a coach’s or team member’s headgear must be of an institutional color. A manufacturer’s logo may appear on the side or back of the item as long as it conforms to NCAA Bylaw 12.5.5. Team members are not required to wear the same headgear.

In the best interest of intercollegiate golf and the championships, participants must wear appropriate golf attire at the tournament site. All participants and coaches should have their shirts tucked in while on the golf course for practice and competition rounds. [Reference: Bylaw 12.5.4 in the NCAA Division I Manual.]

Entries, Line-ups and substitutions: Each team may enter five players. Players and their positions may be changed up to the time they are called to the first tee on the first day of competition. An institution may travel with up to six players, however only five players may participate in the practice round. Please turn in team lineups at the coaches meeting on Tuesday, April 24, 2018.

Equipment: Distance Measuring Devices In this competition, a player may use a device to measure distance only. However, if, during a stipulated round, a player uses a function to measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind-speed, temperature, etc.); the player is in breach of Rule 14-3.

Portable Electronic Devices The use of portable electronic devices with earphones or the like is prohibited on the competition course during any round of the Championship, including the Practice Round. Violation of this policy will result in the following penalties: (First Offense) player receives a warning; (Second Offense) two-stroke penalty assessed during opening round of the championship; (Third Offense) disqualification from championship.

Softspikes The Sea Island Golf Club has a softspikes only policy. For the practice round and competition rounds, all players must wear softspikes. Violations of this rule will result in the normal NCAA applied penalty, two strokes per hole with a four stroke maximum penalty.

Fee: Each participating institution is responsible for paying a Championship fee of $10,000 to the Sea Island Golf Club. Institutions will be invoiced prior to the Championship and payment is due no later than April 20, 2018. The fee includes the following for the practice round and days of competition: (1) breakfast and lunch for all participants and coaches, (2) access to the practice range, short-game area, and putting greens, (3) access to the Seaside Course, and (4) all service fees.

Format: All 14 teams will complete 54 holes of stroke play. Following 54 holes of stroke play competition, the top eight teams will advance for match play competition. The individual champion and individual runner-up will be determined following 54 holes of stroke play.

The top eight teams (see “Tiebreaker Policy” below if necessary) will be placed into a bracket with the No. 1 seed playing the No. 8 seed, the No. 2 seed playing the No. 7 seed, the No. 3 seed playing the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 seed playing the No. 5 seed in match play. A total of five points will be available with one point being awarded for each individual match. A stipulated round will be extended to as many holes as necessary to determine a match winner. Winning teams will advance to the semifinals and subsequently the finals. The first team to win three points within the team match will advance, or in the case of the final match be declared the Conference champion. Once a team has won three individual matches, any remaining individual matches will be halted at that point with the individual match recorded as it currently stood. Match play lineups will be determined using the same method employed at the Presidents Cup matches.

The higher-seeded team (as determined through the 54-hole stroke-play portion), “Team 1”, will have the first choice of putting a player on the board for Match #1. The opposing team, “Team 2”, will then name its player for Match #1.

Team 2 will then name its player for Match #2, and Team 1 will name its player for Match #2. The process will continue in an “S” curve until the players for all five matches are named. However, Team 1 may defer in the selection process and permit Team 2 to begin the overall selection process.

Pairings for the quarterfinals will be determined following the completion of the 54-hole stroke-play competition and the crowning of the individual champion and runner-up. Pairings for the team semifinals and finals will be determined following the completion of the previous match play round.

Ties for pairing positions will be broken according to the non-sudden-death tiebreaking procedures outlined below.

The Rules committee will do everything possible to complete 54 holes of stroke play and each match of the championship. However, the committee reserves the right to modify pairings for weather. See “Inclement Weather” below.

Ties will be broken to determine the eight teams advancing to match play as well as first place for the individual champion based on the playoff scenarios outlined below. The Rules Committee, in consultation with the Tournament Director, Coaches Committee and the Golf Club, will determine the schedule and holes for playoffs.

Individual All players tied for the individual championship will draw numbers to determine the order of teeing off. Only first place will be determined. If weather and/or daylight does not allow for an individual playoff, the tied participants will be deemed co-champions. The Rules Committee, in consultation with the Tournament Director, Coaches Committee and the Golf Club, will determine the schedule and holes for such playoff.

*If a player is involved in a playoff for both the individual title as well as team, the team playoff willtake precedent.

Teams Team ties for the eighth position following 54 holes of stroke play shall be broken by a sudden-death playoff counting the low four scores relative to par on each hole. Play shall continue with new scoring on each successive hole until a winner is determined. The Rules Committee, in consultation with the Tournament Director, Coaches Committee and Golf Club, will determine the holes for play. If a playoff involves more than two teams, a shotgun format shall be used. Once the shotgun sudden-death format is started, that format shall be used until a winner is determined.

Sudden-Death Playoff Procedures Teams will draw for positions. For a two-team playoff, the winner of the draw shall have the option of the A or B positions set forth below. For a playoff involving more than two teams, the teams shall assume the drawn letter position (A, B, C, etc.) set forth below.

Players will play the numbered position they held at the start of the tournament. The format in pairings for a playoff of six teams or more shall be consistent with the foregoing format as determined by the coaches’ committee.

NON-SUDDEN-DEATH TIEBREAKING PROCEDURE For the purposes of ranking teams for pairings, as well as situations in which a sudden-death playoff cannot be completed, the following system shall be used to break ties, except as provided elsewhere when ties need not be broken at the championships:

Teams 1. Cumulative total of the non-counting scores.2. Highest cumulative individual total.3. Second-highest cumulative individual total.4. Third-highest cumulative individual total.5. Fourth-highest cumulative individual total.6. Fifth-highest cumulative individual total.7. Committee decision.

Individuals 1. That round’s score.2. Score from previous round(s).3. Coin toss.

When a tie exists within a team, the individual with the lowest team position will be given the later tee time. The foregoing procedure also will be used if a cut becomes necessary at any time after the completion of the second round of play at the championships.

Tobacco-Related Products: The use of tobacco products by players, coaches, support personnel (i.e., managers and trainers) and staff during practice, conference competition and conference championships (including banquets, press conferences, post-game interviews, and competition grounds) is prohibited. This prohibition shall be applicable to all activities at the athletic competition and practice, including media areas and locker rooms.

Tournament Headquarters: The Tournament Headquarters will be located in The Corn Barn.

Transporting Players: For the exclusive purpose of transporting players for rulings and lost ball situations, coaches will have the same status as the Tournament Rules Committee and will not be required to request specific authorization. To clarify, the intent is for players to walk the course (except or the day on which 36 holes of stroke play are being played, in which case players will ride). Therefore, coaches should only transport players over distances previously walked where a player is required to backtrack on the course to comply with the Rules.
