OTHER 300 Points — Indv Nassau has four flights, with gross & net within each. This means 2400 points ((4flights x 2divisions = 8) x 300 points) are available to 8 flights/divisions and 32 CUP-eligible players.
- 130 pts
- 90 pts
- 40 pts
- 40 pts
FEATURED 460 Points — Club Championship has two divisions only. This means 920 points (2 x 460 points) are available between Gross Blue division and Net White division, with 8 CUP-eligible players. Should a non-Cup player finish in the top 4 places, then the lowest 36-Hole qualifier(s) would be awarded Cup points.
- 200 pts
- 140 pts
- 60 pts
- 60 pts
MAJOR 400 Points — Flight Championship could have 6+ divisions. This means 2400 points (6 x 400 points) are available between 24 CUP-eligible players. Should a non-Cup player finish in the top 4 places, then the next best overall record in the Loser’s bracket would be awarded points.
- 175 pts Undefeated Winner
- 125 pts Runner Up
- 50 pts Winner of the Loser’s Bracket
- 50 pts Runner Up
I would suggest that the 7th place should get $100 and reduce top down money.
