Top50jrTour Members,
The first qualifying round of the season got us off to a wet start. This
is the first rain out we have had since the inception of the Top50jrTour,
some 40+ events without a rain out. We did have one nine hole
tournament last year, but completed every round.
Because of the eminent weather forecast the Top50jrTour Officials gathered
for a meeting and made a new rules decision during the qualifying round
at Mystic Creek. Instead of canceling the tournament round
per the original rules of the Top50jrTour we decided that we would blind
draw 50 students to play in the Tournament Round. These 50 students
will be eligible for scholarship points as they would be if they qualified
by playing. However, to maintain the equity of the Michigan
Top50jrTour these students will not be eligible for "player of the year
points" since the students qualifying for the tournament round were
determined by the luck of the draw and this may lead to an unfair advantage.
As always the Top50jrTour continues to make rules decisions that provide
for maximum student golf participation and compete fairness for all
of its members. |
