Eligibility:
This tournament is open to female amateur golfers who are members of member clubs of the MSGA with an up-to-date USGA INDEX of 30.0 or less during the registration period. The handicap index must be at the MSGA member club shown on the entry form, and must be viewable on the verification site of www.msga.org.

Format & Field Size:
On Monday, July 13, 2020, there will be an 18-hole stroke-play qualifying round for the Championship Flight. A player must play the stroke-play qualifying round to qualify for the Championship Flight. Players opting not to play in the Championship Flight may play a practice round on Monday. The Championship Flight will be a 16 player bracket, with the defending champion receiving the first seed, unless she opts to compete for the medalist prize. The remaining places will be filled by the players with the lowest scores from the Championship Flight qualifying round and will be seeded by their qualifying round score. In the event of ties for the 16th place, there will be a hole-by-hole play-off at the conclusion of the qualifying round. Ties for any other match play seeding in the Championship Flight will be resolved by a match of cards according to USGA recommended method. Players in the qualifying round who do not advance to the Championship Flight will be divided into flights of eight players and seeded according to their handicap index as of July 6, 2020. If two or more players have the same handicap index, their seeding will be determined by lot. Match play begins on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, for all flights. Those defeated in the first match of the Championship Flight will form the First Flight. On Wednesday, the Championship and First flights will play a morning match and an afternoon match. All other flights play a morning match only. Final matches for all flights will be on Thursday.
