WPIAL GIRLS' GOLF - 2006

The Lady Tigers will compete again in the WPIAL along with 25 other teams.  The top two teams and ties for second place in each section will enter the team championship of October 19, 2006.  If two teams tie for second place but one of the teams has lost both head to head contests, that team will not enter the tournament round.  Three way ties will be broken in the following manner:

1.  Section records of the two teams will be compiled.
2.  The team that has the best numerical record among the tied teams will be the qualifier.
3.  If the tie cannot clearly be broken, all tied teams will enter the tournament.

In 2006/2007, the WPIAL will not participate in the PIAA Team Tournament.

The format for girls' golf is a team comprised of five golfers who play for a combined team total medal score for the day.  Only the top four scores will count to determine the team winner for the match.  The format is in effect for all team matches.  Section matches will be played in a nine hole format.

All teams must field a minimum of four players.  Failure to field four players will result in a forfeit victory for the opponent, provided they have at lead four players ready to play.

In case of a tie in total medal score, the medalist for both teams will play "sudden death" extra holes.  If there are co-medalists on either team, the coach will select one of them to compete in the tie-breaker.

INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The WPIAL individual championships will begin with a sectional qualifying tournament comprised of four players from each section team.  Each sectional qualifier will be hosted at one of the section courses.  The host school for 2006-2007 is designated by an asterisk (*) in the listing of schools in each section.  The 2006-2007 sectional qualifiers have been scheduled for Wednesday, September 27, 2006.  The top nine players from each sectional tournament will advance to the final championship round.

The Individual Championship Round will consist of thirty-six contestants - the top nine from each of the four sectional tournaments.  The Final Round will be held on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 at a course to be designated and will be managed by members of the Golf committee.

The top sixteen contestants from the WPIAL Final Round will qualify for the Western Regional PIAA Qualifying Round with the qualifiers from five other PIAA Western districts on Monday, October 16, 2006.  The top eleven contestants from the regional qualifier will qualify for the PIAA Championship finals at Heritage Hills Golf Course on October 23 & 24, 2006.
