TOURNAMENT PLAY

Pairings Tournament  Day
bullet

Pairings will be posted on the website by 12:00pm on Thursday before each event.  You may request a particular tee time (late or early) when available, but you may not request a specific pairing partner for any event.

bullet

We recommend all players arrive at the golf course 45 minutes before their tee time the day of an event.

bullet

ALL PLAYERS MUST CHECK IN and find our event registration table.  When this is done, we will know who has arrived, update you on any changes in rules or pairings, and you may sign off for your event handicap.

bullet

In addition, players may sign up for our Optional Games, Purchase I-Tour Merchandise, and sign up for any future event.  After you’ve checked in at our registration table you may warm up in the manner you please and report to the tee box at least 5-7 minutes before your group is set to tee off.

bullet

During tournament play:  Be sure to follow course rules for the day (i.e 90 degrees in fairway etc)  If there are any rule violations that you and your 4-some can’t resolve, play 2 balls, record both scores for that hole and the Tour Director will make a ruling after play.  Exchange score cards with the other golf cart.  NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO KEEP THEIR OWN SCORECARD.  You must sign your scorecard and you can ask your Tour Director or the Club Pro question before you sign.  If you sign an incorrect scorecard you will be disqualified for payouts and given last place.

bullet

Please read and understand our Tournament "Day of" policy before you become a I-Tour Member.

 

Rain Out (Bad Weather)

bullet

I-Tour DOES NOT promise to reschedule rain-out events, but will work with each golf course and our schedule in the case of unfriendly weather.

bullet

The golf course will signal end of play if conditions warrant a stoppage of play.  If the club deems the golf course open and playable, we will more than likely play, but we do not play in the presence of lightning at anytime.

bullet

EVERY PLAYER WILL RECEIVE A REFUND of their entry fee if and event is rained out before we finish 7 holes.

bullet

Everyone should be disappointed when weather ends an event, but we ask for your cooperation as we strive to be as fair as possible to our I-Tour members.
Your I-Tour Director will negotiate the best option for members when those situations exist.

bullet

Houston I-Tour LLC reserves the right to complete less than 15 events for our 2008 Season due to unfriendly weather & the inability to reschedule our rained out events.

bullet

Please read and understand our Bad Weather policy before you become a I-Tour Member.

bullet

     Both Flights will compete together for Deuces (2's)

bullet

    All 2's split the pot:  (It's that Simple, Guaranteed Money)

 

  Deuces Wild Example

 

50 Players Play in the the Deuces Wild Game:   $1,250 Total Pot

5 Deuces (2's) were recorded which equals $1,250 divided by 5

Each Deuce (2) is worth $250

***If you make 2 of the 5 you win $500***

 

Players will compete separately  in the Deuces Wild Game

SKINS Game

SKINS is a "Big Money" Game also and is available for all flights:  Flights A&B ($25) . SKINS game entry is payable before or on the day of the tournament.  The Skins Game  is a Money” game which pays out according to the best score on the holes.  A skin is the single best score on any of the individual 18 holes. Each flight has its own skins games, where only players within the flight compete for skins.   There will be a 100% pay out of the money collected at the end of the round.

Flight A&B Example:

Say 10 people in your flight play the Optional Skins Game.  That’s $25 a piece for a pot of $250 bucks.  If there are 4 skins awarded then the payout will be $250 / 4 = $63.00 per skin.
