State Monthly Medal

The tournament shall begin on the first of March and end in October of the same year. Trustees shall schedule one day during each month for state medal play. Other medal rounds, such as qualifying, may also be used if designated in the club schedule. However, the total of such scheduled rounds shall not exceed sixteen per year, nor may more than two (2) rounds be scheduled during any one-month. Players shall be divided into two or more divisions, as equally as possible, according to handicaps as of March 1. The best three scores of each player, using the handicap of the day of play for each round, shall determine the winner of each division. The state will award trophies to the winners. Trophies for each winner will be given to the trustees at the summer meeting. (NOTE: Some clubs have elected to divide their field into more than two divisions - in such instances the club shall purchase the extra trophies awarded.) (a) Breaking a tie: In the event of a tie the next best score of each player shall be used to determine the winner. If a tie still exists, the next best score, etc., shall be used. However, if a player who ties has posted only three scores in this event during the year, she may play another round at a time designated by the trustee, and it shall be optional with the other player to use her posted score or to play another round. She must make such decision before either player competes in a playoff round.
