2012 WPIAL BOYS' GOLF

The Tigers will compete in Class AAA of the WPIAL along with 54 other teams. The top two (2) teams and ties for second place in each section will enter the team championship tournament. 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.

In AAA, the qualifiers will participate in a semifinal round at two different courses on October 9, 2012. The top three teams from each AAA semifinal site will advance to the AAA team championship round on October 11, 2012. In AA, the qualifiers will also participate in a semifinal round at two different courses on October 9, 2012. The top three teams from each AA semifinal site will advance to the AA team championship round on October 11, 2012. The AA and AAA team champion will advance directly to the PIAA final round on October 24, 2012.

MATCH FORMAT: 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. It is imperative that all shots are played and no concessions permitted.

All teams must field a minimum of five players. Failure to field five players will result in a forfeit victory for the opponent, provided they have at least five players ready to play. Girls playing on boys’ teams are permitted to play from the red tees (approximately 85% of the total distance from the white tees).

In case of a tie in the total medal score, each coach will choose two players to represent their squad in a two-hole playoff with the twosome shooting the lowest combined score winning. If there is still a tie after the two-hole playoff, the players will play "sudden death" extra holes until the tie is broken.

Each of the WPIAL individual tournaments will consist of 18 holes of stroke play.
