All payouts will be based on playoff results; see playoff format below

​

Substitutions, No Shows, and Make ups

• It is the responsibility of each team to make sure that they have two men to play the scheduled match.

• Obviously, not everyone can make it every week. For that reason we will have a substitute list posted on the website. You can use anyone on the list and any Association Member with an established handicap as a substitute. There is a link on the front page to notify Bill or Larry if you need a sub and subs that can play.

 

You can use any non association member as long as they have a GHIN HCP. This person can only sub twice but not for the same team.

• You do NOT need one or both players from each team to play their match; One or Two alternates CAN play as a team ONCE.

• If a team is unable to play it is their responsibility to contact the other team and one of the Association’s board members – (Bill Gilbert for Wednesday, 774-263-2709 bgilbert@builddbs.com – Larry Tantillo for Thursday, 508-782-2001 Itanboys@gmail.com) a minimum of 24 hrs in advance.

• If you know you or your teammate will not be available a week or more in advance you may match cards or play PRIOR to your scheduled match. If neither team can play their match when scheduled and can’t make up their match or match cards then each team will be awarded 9 points.

• If something unexpected arises the week of your match it is your responsibility to contact the other team and one of the designated Association’s board members a minimum of 24 hours in advance if possible. An exception may be made based on the situation.

• Teams that have both players out with no subs MUST contact the other team and officers 24 hours prior.  The match will be done as a match cards the following week (unless other arrangements are made between the teams).  

​

Wednesday and Thursday Leagues will play preferred lies in your own fairway.
