HSJGA POINT SYSTEM

There is a point system for boys 15/18 years and girls 13/18 years age divisions. These point systems will be used to determine: 1) boys’ and girls’ “Player of the Year,” 2) the players on the Boys’ and Girls’ Junior America’s Cup,  Eddie Hogan and Mary Cave Cup Teams, 3) spots in this year’s HSJGA Tour Championship (refer to “Tour Championship or TC”), and 4) any special events named at a later date. See tournament point value in Tournament Descriptions online. *In order for points and TC exemptions to be awarded in any division there must be at least three (3) players in the field entered from that division. The HSJGA entry process (under Forced Play-Up) does not apply to these qualifiers.

Two important factors will also help decide “Player of the Year”: attitude and sportsmanship. To be considered for “Player of the Year,” a junior must be full-time resident of Hawaii and an active member of the HSJGA this year. If at the end of the year a tie in points occurs, “co” or multiple “Players of the Year” will be named. It is intended to decide all first place ties in HSJGA tournaments (except for all Junior Tour Series and the Junior World Hawaii Qualifier) via a sudden death play-off on the golf course. If a play-off is not feasible, the tie will be broken using USGA scorecard matching.

With all other ties not resolved via an on course play-off, points will be split among the number of eligible participants tied, i.e., if three players tied for third place, the points for 3rd, 4th, and 5th places would be added together and divided by three (refer to “Deciding Ties” and “In the Event of a Tie for Points”). All first place ties receive an invitation to Tournament of Champions (unless otherwise stated in the Tournament Description).
