Rules

  1. RCGA rules except for local rules on Eagle Creek, Le Sorcier and Château Cartier score cards - and as explained below
  2. Lift, clean and place within 12 inches no closer to hole – everywhere except on green – if original ball is in a hazard or rough, ball must remain in same cut of rough or hazard
  3. Marking ball on green. Chosen ball must be played from exact position, therefore, place a marker 1 putter head length sideways from the original position
  4. Tap-ins. If a putt is on the lip (within 12 inches) it may be tapped in prior to the second putt being attempted. If the second putt is made, it will be the one that counts. If the first tap-in is missed, the only ball in play is the second ball
  5. The ball in play may be replaced at any time during the round as long as your ball can be easily identified
  6. One warning for slow play if more than ½ a hole behind the group in front – subsequent infraction will be 1 stroke penalty assessed to all teams in group
  7. If one ball may be lost and one is safe, only 1 minute is permitted to search – provisionals not permitted if one ball is safe
  8. If both balls may be lost, provisionals must be hit – 3 minutes permitted to search for original balls
  9. If a ruling is required, attempt to make it within your group – if needed, try to flag rules official but if one is not near, play a second ball and the ruling will be made when you come in
  10. All scorecards must be signed by at least one player and a scorer from another team
  11. Only one CPGA card permitted on each Ladies, Senior and Open team
  12. Junior and Senior champions may be asked to produce identification to verify age restrictions (upon request)
  13. Range finders are permitted
  14. Ties on the cut line after round one will be decided by retrogression

Rain Policy

Tournament play will continue in a rain situation unless:

  • the course is deemed unplayable by the course professional
  • there is lightning in the area
  • play is halted due to darkness

In the case of such delays, play will resume as soon as possible on the same day. Or, if it is impossible to finish all rounds on that day, a make-up day will be scheduled with the course professional and times will be posted on the tournament website, and players will be notified via email.

If a player or team cannot play on the make-up date, they will be declared DNF (did not finish).

In the event of a delay, players will tee-off again and replay the hole which they did not finish.

What is a scramble?
A scramble is a format where each player on the team takes a shot and the best shot is used. For the Ottawa Sun Scramble City Championship, teams consist of two players so you get two attempts at every shot!

Who can enter?
We have several divisions but you must qualify first. See our qualifying criteria and schedule.

Cancellation Policy
All registrations are subject to a $25 cancellation fee prior to July 15, 2008 - and payment is non-refundable after July 15, 2008.
