Championships Format
Finals play for both championships consists of three days of stroke play on Friday thru Sunday (54 holes), after which the top 15 teams and nine individuals not on an advancing team will be determined. That is followed by a final day of 18 holes of stroke play (Monday) to determine the top eight teams that will advance to match play as well as the 72‐hole individual champion. The team national champion will be determined by a match‐play format that will consist of quarterfinals and semifinals conducted on Tuesday, followed by the finals on Wednesday.
*** See information below regarding Bylaw 31.1.4.1 and finals site competition details
To accommodate Brigham Young’s policy of not competing on Sunday, the school will have the option to participate in the practice round on Thursday with the other 132 participants (24 teams and 12 individuals) and then begin its first round of play (with Sunday hole locations) on Thursday afternoon following the practice round. All 24 teams and 12 individuals will play Friday and Saturday while on Sunday the other 23 teams and 12 individuals will finish their final rounds.
