Tournament Format & Draw

Jarrod Coutts

  1. Hi team,

    Here is the draw and the format for those who like looking ahead.

    There will be prizes for the following positions from Marewa Club: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 9th and 17th.
    Quadway will also be providing some additional prizes for the tournament winner and the highest finishing 0+ handicap player.

    The format we have created guarantees everyone will play eight games across the 2.5 days and produces a final finishing order from 1st to 20th, which is important for the Quadway Grand Prix element. This is the 1st event of 4, during the series this season. Please be available until approximately 3pm on Monday.
