1.04 Event Check-In

Last updated: Tuesday, December 31, 2024 - 17:32
  1. Players are required to check in with the Tournament Director or designated tournament staff member at A-Tier and B-Tier events. This is suggested for all other Tiers.
  2. The Tournament Director cannot require in-person pre-tournament check-in on any day prior to the start of competition but may offer it as a convenience to players.
  3. Any player who does not check in by the time(s) specified by the Tournament Director shall forfeit their official place and entry fee.
    1. As detailed in 1.03.F, such day-of drops will not receive a refund even if a waitlister takes their place.
    2. Exceptions will be made only at the sole discretion of the Tournament Director.
  4. The Tournament Director should notify players of check-in requirements on the registration page or via email no less than 48 hours prior to the earliest check-in time.
  5. At A-Tier events using a staggered start with scheduled tee times, players must also check in with the starter no less than 5 minutes prior to their tee time each day and be present at the starting hole for the 5 minutes preceding their tee time each day. Players who do not check in with the starter by this time or who are not present at the starting hole for the 5 minutes preceding their tee time receive two penalty throws added to their starting hole. This is recommended for staggered starts with scheduled tee times at all other Tiers.
  6. If a player is later deemed to be absent for the first hole under 811.F.5, Misplay, then the penalty in 1.04.C does not apply. The player only receives the penalty for being absent.
  7. See 4.05 for check-in requirements for Majors and Elite Series events.
