All players receive one Performance Star when they join or renew their membership with the AJGA to give them an initial status. High school sophomores and seniors receive one additional membership Performance Star (two total). High school juniors receive two additional membership Performance Stars (three total). A player will retain any Performance Stars received for membership for the entire season. However, these Performance Stars are not cumulative from year-to-year and will expire at the end of the season. Players can build their status by competing in tournaments that are part of Performance Based Entry.
