This tournament information packet is a binding document for the rules and regulations of this tournament.
5. This state championship tournament will be a two-day, 36-hole event playing the forward tees. A team’s best four (4) scores each day will count toward determining the team score. Players must turn in a signed scorecard after each round in order to qualify for individual honors.

POINTS OF EMPHASIS FOR GIRLS GOLF, 2011
NOTE: Both courses have a stringent dress code for fans and players. Golf attire only, collared shirts, shirts tucked in, proper length shorts, etc are mandatory. Please plan accordingly.....thanks!
- Girls golf will, as was effective with the 2008 (fall) season, continue to follow a “play six (6), score four (4)” team format.
- Distance measuring devices, per USGA and local association guidelines, are still permitted in all high school play (including league/region and state tournaments). Other technology (including, but not limited to, mobile phones, music players and the like) is NOT permitted for use during a competitor’s round. The penalty for using illegal technology is, in the first incident, two (2) strokes and, in the second occurrence, disqualification.
The NIAA office staff is aware of additional technologies (i-phones, etc.) available that expand beyond the "typical" and/or "traditional" distance measuring device being used by amateur competitors in golf. We are also aware that variouslocal organizations (under the USGA umbrella) permit the use of these new technologies.
However, following rule 14-3 (usga.org) which permits a committee to address on its own accord / at the local level the use of said distance measuring devices, the NIAA will NOT permit the use of any device which goes beyond the capability of measuring distance only. I.E.the NIAAwill for the 2011 fall girl’s golf season permit the use of those devices that are "typical" and/or "traditional" in measuring distanceONLY and that do NOT have the additional capabilities of voiceand/or text communication, nor gauge wind speed and/or slope. A player in possession of a device which includes the availability of additional features is subject to disqualification.
- Motorized (i.e. electric and/or gas operated) carts will not be permitted during high school play unless a) they are afforded to all players in the field, b) the tournament staff announces shuttling will be provided at certain areas of the course and/or c) an appeal by school personnel is verified with an accompanied medical documentation. Pull / Manual carts are permitted in all high school play.

IN-MATCH / TOURNAMENT TIE-BREAKER
1.Ties involving teams during tournament play:
A.The aggregate stroke score of the four (4) lowest 18-hole scores for each team, (each day), shall constitute their school’s team score. Ties for the championship and/or runner-up trophies will be handled in accordance with NIAA playoff procedures described below.
1.If the total of the low four (4) scores (each day) results in a tie after 18/36 holes, the lowest (two-day total) score of the fifth person(s) on the team will determine the winner. It is possible in a two-day tournament that the fifth-place finisher could be two different team members. If one team does not have a fifth score and the other team does, the team with the fifth score wins.
2.If the tie remains after step A-1, the tied teams will follow the same procedure comparing the scores of the sixth-place finisher.
3.If the sixth person(s) are also tied, all six players from each team will play one hole of sudden victory. Each team will count its lowest four (4) scores on this hole with the lowest total winning. If the total of the four scores are the same, the lowest score of the a)fifth player and/or/then b) sixth player on the sudden victory hole will determine the winner. If the score of the fifth and/or/then sixth player also results in a tie, the teams will play another hole and proceed with the tie-breaking procedure as outlined in step 1.A.2. This procedure will continue until a winner is determined.
2.Ties involving individual medalists
A.Only ties for the (top) medalist (first place) honor will be broken by a sudden victory playoff.
Ties for other medals will be determined by matching scorecards, as recommended by the USGA and outlined below:
1.The player with the best/lowest score on the back nine, final day only, will earn the higher/better finishing place.
2.If a tie remains, the player with the best/lowest score on the last six holes, final day only, will earn the higher/better finishing place.
3.If a tie remains, the player with the best/lowest score on the last three holes, final day only, will earn the higher/better finishing place.
4.If a tie remains, the player with the best/lowest score on the 18th hole, final day only, will earn the higher/better finishing place.
Note: In the event multiple tees are used to start the tournament, the last nine holes will be Nos. 10-18 on the scorecard, the last six will be Nos. 13-18 on the scorecard, etc. At all times, the last nine holes will be represented by Nos. 10-18 on the scorecard.
Note: Tournament golf will follow the rules and regulations of the United States Golf Association, the NIAA Handbook and the NIAA Reference Manual.
