32 entrants have been randomly drawn into 8 different PODS (4 players in each POD).

Ties
If an individual match is tied after 18 holes, the players will return to the 1st Tee and continue the match in sudden death format. Strokes are allocated as they were the first time around.

After all the matches within the POD, if 2 are tied with the same number of wins in a POD they will play a new match to determine a POD winner into the ELITE EIGHT !!! If 3 are tied, there will be a sudden death playoff starting on the first tee, with players stroking off the low handicap in the group. February 15-29 reserved for tie breaking matches.

Timing
Each participant has 3 Matches during the months of JANUARY and FEBRUARY. You play each player in your POD and you have TWO WEEKS to play the match.

The player with the most wins in each POD will advance to the ELITE EIGHT TOURNAMENT! The rest are eliminated !!!
