FORMAT

Team Competition: The COPi Cup is a 36-hole team competition consisting of the following formats. The team with the lowest 36-hole total will be the champion.

 

Round 1 – Two Best Balls of Four Net: Each player plays their own ball until holed. The total of the two low net best balls on each hole is the team’s score

for the hole.   

 

Round 2 – 1-2-3-4 Best Ball Net: Each player plays their own ball until holed. The team score will be calculated as follows:

  • Holes 1 – 6: one net best ball of four;
  • Holes 7 – 12: two net best balls of four;
  • Holes 13 – 17: three net best balls of four;
  • Hole 18: four net best balls of four (each player’s score counts).

              

Professional Competition: In addition to being part of the team competition, all professionals will compete in a 36-hole stroke play competition. The professional

with the lowest 36-hole total will be the winner. 

 

PROCEDURE FOR TIES

  • For the team competition, all ties will be broken using the USGA suggested method of matching scorecards (i.e. Holes 10-18, etc.) from the final round. The purse for the professional on the low team will be divided equally among those tied for first place. 
  • For the professional competition, the USGA suggested method of matching scorecards (i.e. Holes 10-18, etc.) from the final round will be used to determine who receives the trophy. The purse will be divided equally among those tied for first place.

SCORECARDS & LIVE SCORING

Each team is responsible for entering the individual gross score for each player on each hole. If a player does not finish the hole, he or she records an “X” for

that hole. Net scores, team totals, and the skins competition will be calculated by the tournament committee. Individual scores will be posted as “C” scores

by the tournament committee at the conclusion of each round.   

 

A representative from each team is encouraged to enter hole-by-hole scores into the USGA Tournament Management app. Within the app, players will be able

to view live hole-by-hole results, including the skins competition! Live results will also be available at scgajunior.org/copi. Please note that live scoring is

not official, and the tournament scorecard must be returned for official scoring and results.
