WPIAL GIRLS' GOLF - 2005

The Lady Tigers will compete again in the WPIAL, along with 23 other teams.  The top two teams and ties for second place in each section will enter the team championship on October 20, 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 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.  This format is in effect for all team matches.  It is imperative that all shots are played and no concessions permitted.

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 least 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 2005 is designated by an asterisk (*) in the listing of schools in each section.  The 2005 sectional qualifiers have been scheduled for Wednesday, September 28, 2005.  The top nine players from each sectional tournament will advance to the semifinal championship round.

The individual championship round will consist of twenty-seven contestants --- the top nine from each of the three sectional tournaments.  The Final Round will be held on Monday, October 10, 2005 at a course to be designated and will be managed by members of the Golf Committee.

The top eight contestants from the WPIAL Final Round will qualify for the PIAA Championship Tournament to be held at Heritage Hills Golf Course on October 24-25, 2005.
