Tournament Format

13-younger players will play each day at Sycamore Creek Golf Course. The first day of stroke play will determine 8-person flights in the 12-13-year-old division and the 7-11 division. The second day begins single-elimination match play in each flight. There is no consolation bracket. Boys 12-13 will play from the White tees. Others will play from shortened tees.

14-older boys will play the first day at either Meadowbrook or Z Boaz golf courses. Submitted scores will determine which course. This year, the boys who turned in 82 and lower will go to Meadowbrook. The 83 and over boys will go to Z Boaz. Boys from Meadowbrook will be divided into Division I and Division II after the first round and continue playing stroke play each day. On the second day, Division I golfers will play River Crest and Division II golfers will play the Ridglea C.C.'s North Course. After the second day, Division I will be divided into Championship, First, Second and Third flights and will play the third round at Shady Oaks C.C. The Division II boys will be divided into flights after the second round and will play Mira Vista C.C. the third day. After the third day, flights from both Shady Oaks and Mira Vista will be pared for the final round at Colonial C.C..
