The Rules of Golf and the World Handicap System/Rules of Handicapping will govern SBWGA-18 rules of play and handicap. (For information on ACE Day, see Section IX) 

1. A player must be an Annual Member of SBWGA-18 in good standing with an established USGA handicap to be eligible for Tuesday Play Day competition. Maximum course handicap for weekly play is 40.

3. Sign-up for most games, including partners and foursomes will be through Chelsea – Chelsea Sign-Up (CSU). Deadline for sign up is Wednesday at 2:00 PM, prior to the desired play day. Entries after the deadline may have the opportunity to play if space becomes available. After Wednesday 2:00 PM, all late entries, as well as cancellations, must be made by email to TPDsbwga18@gmail.com.  Once a member receives the second Chelsea notification on Monday prior to play, cancellations should be reported by email to TPDsbwga18@gmail.com.  

4. Unless otherwise stated, for special events and tournaments, signup will be by the Form SignUp (FSU) with a stated sign-up deadline.
5. A minimum of eight (8) players must complete play to constitute a field in which sweeps will be paid on a scheduled Tuesday. The field of play may be divided into flights according to handicap The TPD Chair and her Committee will set the range for each flight.
6. In stroke play, throughout the round, players are to remain in the group paired by the Committee whenever possible. Any player who does not complete 18-holes will write “WD” (withdraw) on her scorecard. In all circumstances, common sense should prevail.
7. If a player is disqualified for some infraction of the Rules of Golf or Rules of Handicapping during a Tuesday Play Day game, the player will receive no awards for that day.
8. If a player withdraws from the game of the day, she will still receive credit for Eclectic (for holes played), birdies or better (gross), chip-ins, Skins or closest to the pin, if that player completed at least 7 holes so that a 9-hole score may be posted. If she does not complete the minimum number of holes necessary to post a score, she will not be eligible for any of the above competitions.  
9. An Annual Member may bring a guest to a Tuesday Play Day (excluding ACE Day, Major Tournaments and Special Tournaments) twice in a year. This will be at the discretion of the Tuesday Play Day Chair and will be dependent on the weekly game and the number of members signed up for the event. The guest must have a valid USGA Handicap and may not participate in weekly sweeps.  A guest may play only once during a calendar year. To add a guest to a Tuesday Play Day, email the Tuesday Play Day Chair.  
10. The procedures for Tuesday Play Day are as follows:
    1. Notice of the Tuesday games to be played will be posted on the website. Signup will be available in Chelsea thirty (30) days in advance.
    2. When there is a Special Tournament with an entry fee (excluding LAGOS and SaddleBrooke Women’s Classic [fka as Home & Home & Home] hosted by the SBWGA-18) or a Major Tournament with a multiple-day commitment, there will be a Tuesday Play Day game for those players not participating in the Tournament except when the field is full and no additional tee times are available for TPD.  Sign-up will be through Chelsea.
    3. Tee Boxes: All TPD and Ace Day events will be played from the Red tee box.
    4. Pairings will be posted on Chelsea no later than Saturday prior to play. Final pairings will be posted on Chelsea on the Monday prior to play.
    5. Tuesday Play Day games will mostly be a combination of individual games, 4-person games and Pick Your Partner (PYP) team formats. Most games will be suitable for posting. When the game is a team format or Stableford game, a player who is “out of the hole” or cannot improve her standing in the game of the day, should pick up her ball to maintain pace of play.  She will record her “most likely score” for that hole. In team games like “best ball” and match play a player may pick up if she is out of the hole. The player must record her “most likely score.” See VI.4 - Posting Scores, Incomplete Holes.  
    6. If the TPD Committee considers that a player is guilty of a serious breach of etiquette, it may impose a penalty of disqualification under USGA Rule 1.2.
    7. Each player is responsible for verifying her correct handicap and attesting her own score (both may be subject to disqualification if in error) per USGA Rule 3.
    8. Scorecards: For all events, two (2) scorecards must be kept, one may be electronic via Golf Genius. Both scorecards will be turned in to the TPD Committee. Scores must be checked hole by hole and 9-hole gross scores tallied before the scorecard is returned.  Signatures from every player are required on the master scorecard.  
    9. Ties on Tuesday Play Days: The Tuesday Play Day Chair will combine winnings for tied scores and divide the winnings among the tied players. This will not apply to a gross payout, which will utilize the USGA Card Off Procedure (described in Section IX, paragraph 6).
    10. Blind Draws: For team events on Tuesday Play Days, if a “blind draw” is required to create a foursome, the person who is designated as the “blind draw” for a team will not be eligible to win Sweeps payouts as a member of that team.  
    11. Cancellation of Tuesday Play Days, Special Tournaments: Cancellation of any tournament is at the discretion of the TPD Chair and the Golf Professional where applicable.
    12. The TPD Committee will post all scores according to World Handicap System (WHS) rules.
    13. Regardless of where a player begins on the rotation of courses, on the SaddleBrooke/Tucson course, Tucson is the back nine; on the Tucson/Catalina course, Catalina is the back nine; on the Catalina/SaddleBrooke course, SaddleBrooke is the back nine.
    14. Pick Your Partner (PYP) pairings: Members will select their own partners and signup together in Chelsea.  If a member signs up without a partner, the Pro Shop randomly picks a partner within the required 10 stroke handicap differential, if possible.
