Points are awarded in relation to a fixed score (PAR) on each hole as follows: 2 or more over the fixed score -3 points, 1 over the fixed score -1 point, fixed score (par) 0 points, 1 under the fixed score +2 points, 2 under the fixed score +5 points, 3 under the fixed score +8 points. The winner is the team who scores the highest number of points. The Championship will be contested on both the Ryder and Dye Courses. Teams compete in a 54-hole competition and after 36 holes; one round on each course, the field will be reduced to the low 40 teams and ties for the final round.  Teams that contain one PGA Associate (or more) will be able to register for the event beginning December 13th.
