Qualifier Series Option Policy


Approximately 10 percent of the Qualifier Series field will qualify from the Qualifier into the actual tournament. The exact number of spots will be posted at Qualifier registration. The original qualifiers who are AJGA members (non-members are not eligible) at the start of the Qualifier will have the option to:

1. Play in the tournament for which they are trying to qualify.

OR

2. Decline the opportunity to play in the tournament for which they are trying to qualify and have one Tournament Exemption added to their Performance Based status ("Opt Out").

(Example: If the Qualifier is qualifying eight spots into the tournament field, the top eight scores and ties are considered to be the original qualifiers).

Players will be informed of the Qualifier Series Option Policy during registration and must declare their intention in the scoring area to either accept a spot in the tournament field should they qualify or "Opt Out" and have a Tournament Exemption added to their Performance Based Entry status. Once a player has signed his/her scorecard, the decision is final. Players who decide to "Opt Out" and not play in the event will be replaced by the player with the next lowest score. Since these players were not original qualifiers, they are unable to use the Option Policy.

Girls' fields at Qualifiers must have at least 12 participants in order for the Option Policy to be in effect. The AJGA Web site will indicate if the Option Policy is in effect for girls.

Original qualifiers who use the Option Policy will have the current season and the following season to use the Tournament Exemption to gain entry into an event. Once the Tournament Exemption has been used, it will not be re-awarded the following season.

Medalists who choose to play in the event will still get an additional Tournament Exemption added to their status. This does not apply to any other qualifiers. Qualifiers who are not AJGA members must complete the AJGA membership application and pay the membership fee prior to the tournament.
