Playoffs All teams will make the playoffs.  Regular Season point standings will determine the seedings in the playoffs The last 3 weeks of the season will be the quarter finals, semi finals and finals respectively. Substitutions Substitutions are allowed if you are unable to play.  Each team may have a substitute a maximum of four times throughout the season. If there is an injury one may find a permanent replacement for the rest of the season or have an extended number of substitutions approved by the committee. There are no substitutions in the playoffs rounds. (Unless replaced by a sub due to injury) Matches played against less than two players If you are playing a match against one player, the match will be played as normal but will be two against one.  If both players are unable to play, they may get two subs to fill in for them.  However, the maximum number of points the subs can earn is 6 points. The opposing team would earn a minimum of 4 points unless they have earned more points in the match. Worst they can do is lose 4-6 if playing against a team made up of just substitutes.  Each week we will have a different money game such as CTP’s, Skins, Stableford, Pullies, etc.  Each person will be charged $10 and the daily winnings will be paid out once results are official, which is typically the next morning.  Winnings will be credited to your credit book good toward merchandise in the golf shop.   Entry fee for the season long league will be $100 per team.
