Playoffs

The 3-week single elimination playoff format includes all teams, with teams ranked based on cumulative points from all the matches during the regular season. The scramble/banquet is scheduled after the playoffs.

Scoring

  • The team maximum amount of points for any match is 3 points + bonus points earned.
  • Weekly adjustments are made to the player’s established quota based on performance.

No Shows

Teams must have two players in order to earn the maximum 3 match points. Substitutes from The Overlook’s 3 shotgun leagues are eligible to substitute.

Approved Substitute List

Eligible substitutes must be Overlook Shotgun League Players or Friel Golf employees with a valid GHIN handicap. Substitutes are not eligible for bonus points but are eligible for the playoffs.

Rain Policy

If inclement weather is forecast, the league may be cancelled by 3:30 that afternoon. Matches need to complete at least 5 holes to count as an official match, with adjustments made for rain-shortened matches.
