***************************************************************************

In the event a team member cancels, the Pairings Chair will do everything possible to complete teams by rearranging tee times of players.  2-Team Games, in particular, may result in a single player, who may play their own game.  The player will not be eligible for prizes without a partner.  If a 4-person team is missing a player, either a “Ghost” or “Blind Draw” will complete the team.  

Blind Draw – Slips of paper with names of all players in the flight of the absent member are placed together, and a name is drawn.  That player's score is used in place of the missing member's score.

Ghost – Each member takes a turn for the missing player – Example:  Player #1 plays hole #1 for the missing member; Player #2 plays hole #2 for the missing member; Player #3 playes hole #3 for the missing member.  Continue to rotate through the 9 holes.

ABCD - Pairings will be drawn 1 each from A, B, C, & D players

AB , CD, etc : a twosome pairing will be drawn from A, B, C, or D players as indicated

FLIGHTED – Pairings are drawn within flights.
