WPIAL BOYS' GOLF - 2005

The Tigers will compete again in Division I along with 60 other teams.  The top two teams and ties for second place in each section will enter the team championship semi-finals on October 18, 2005.  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 tied 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.

The format for boys' golf is a team comprised of six golfers who play for a combined team total medal score for the day.  Only the top five scores will count to determine the team winner for the match.  This format is in effect for all team matches.

In case of a tie in total medal score, the medalists 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 section qualifying tournament comprised of five players from each section team.  Each section qualifier will be hosted at one of the section courses.  The host school for 2005 is designated by an asterisk (*) in the listing of schools in each section.  The 2005 sectional qualifiers have been scheduled for Monday, September 26, 2005.  The top ten players from each sectional tournament will advance to the semi-final round.

The Semi-Final Round will consist of one hundred sixty contestants - ten qualifiers from each of the sixteen sectional tournaments.  The semi-final round will be conducted on Monday, October 3, 2005, at four different courses.  Forty contestants, ten per section, will be assigned to each semi-final site.

The Individual Final Round will consist of forty contestants - the top ten from each semi-final round site.  The Final Round will be held on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 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 PIAA Championship Tournament to be held at Heritage Hill Golf Course (York, PA) on October 24-25, 2005.
