Dunton Orchard Golf Society
Triple league rules for the …… for 2020 Season
All current and new players will be divided into Three leagues.
All leagues will operate a Stableford points accrued monthly basis.
League qualification... Dependent on your previous season league position.
New Society members and previously lapsed members will enter into Wentworth League for the first season.
St. Andrews League. Will contain 12 players, positions 1-8 remain,
positions 9-12 Relegated.
Belfry League. Will contain 12 players, 1- 4 will be Promoted,
position 5-8 Remain, 9-12 Relegated.
Wentworth League. All other Existing players + All New members.
positions 1- 4 Promoted. (note below)
Note : If any player from St Andrews League fails to attend 3 matches during the season he will be automatically Relegated to the Wentworth league, this will allow for an additional Promotion to the Belfry League.
----------------------------------------------------
The League allocation above may be subject to alteration according to membership numbers being adequate to fulfill positions.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If any player misses 1 match during the season he will be awarded with 75% of his next match day Stableford score added to his Stableford total League score at the end of the season.
This will allow for a 1 match absence without affecting your overall season League score too much.
The aim is to generate an interest in winning your own playing league, against players of varying standards of golfing ability, with an equal chance to become the overall Society Champion at the end of the season.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Promotion or Relegation will be determined by the end of season League Placing achieved by individuals.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Each match day would be played as before, by a blind draw for playing groups & scoring Stableford points according to the Society Congu handicap each player will be given at the start of season.
A match day winner would be determined by an individual players Stableford points achieved on the day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the season we would have Three League Winners,
But only one Society Champion.
The Society Champion will be decided by the player with the greatest amount of Stableford points gained during the season by an individual.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the event of an overall Stableford tie between players to determine any major League or Championship place or position the following rules will apply >>>
1/ The player with the better attendance record during the season will be granted the Higher position due to Actual points achieved.
2/ If rule 1 fails to provide an outright result then this will apply >>> The player with the best Head to Head scores over his opponent at the various tour venues played during the season will be granted the Higher position due to the greater consistency in his play.
3/ If rule 1 or 2 do not find an outright result, there will be a play-off between all involved players, the date will be determined by the committee and must be concluded before December's presentation day.
4/ Relegation or Promotion ties will also be subject to the same rules but any play-off can be played ad-hoc before the following season starts.
The Society secretary will inform all players involved in Promotion or Relegation play-offs.
------------------------------------------------------
Responsibility for League status lies equally with all players and the committee to ensure correctly returned scorecards are submitted at the end of match days.
Society Secretary to post all League status positions on web page.
