| New
Tournament Withdrawal Policy in Effect for 2007
Season
The AJGA has updated its tournament
withdrawal policy, effective for the 2007 season. There
are several changes in the way withdrawals will now
be classified.
There is no longer an unjustified withdrawal;
instead, disqualification penalities that occur due
to intent or deliberate decision by the player will
be listed as no cards or no shows. An example of a
no card is a player walking off a golf course without
signing his or her scorecard. If a player failed to
show up for a second-round tee time and did not notify
the tournament director prior, that would be classified
as a no-show. The type of withdrawal a junior receives
will now be posted next to the player's name on all
results.
The new withdrawal policy is more in
line with the USGA Rules of Golf and better classifies
the reasoning for a disqualification penalty. It will
also better inform coaches of why players have left
a tournament.
The qualifier withdrawal policy has
also been updated. To see the complete updated withdrawal
