Tournament Information

Registration Status: Closed

Entry Fees:

$270 per team (walking)
$370 per team (riding, includes $50/team/round cart rental for 2 days)
NOTE: Entries are limited to the first 52 teams to enter. 

Golf Cart (Optional): 
The use of a golf cart is permitted for this event.  Carts may be prepaid online at the time of registration or at any time prior to registration closing.  Or, the fee may be paid on-site each day of the tournament.

Eligibility:

Entry is open to any amateur golfer:
  1. Who is currently an Associate Member of the MGA at the club from which they are playing,
  2. Whose club is a current Member Club of the MGA, and
  3. The combined total of the Handicap Index® of the two players cannot exceed 36.4 at the time of entry.
  4. The Handicap Index® one week prior to the first day of the competition will be used during the entire competition.  

A team must be comprised of one male and one female.

To be eligible for the Senior Division, both players must meet the MGA's definition of a Senior (Male - at least 55 years of age - and Female - at least 50 years of age - as of the first day of the Championship).

An entry may be rejected at the discretion of the Committee at any time, including after the competition has closed.

NOTE: For eligibility purposes, an MGA Associate Member through the MGA Join On-Line (JOL) program must have a Minnesota connection in addition to JOL membership in order to participate. Examples of connections would be a MN resident (permanent or seasonal), a non-resident student at a MN school, and/or an MGA course connection, validated by a course employee and/or score posting record. The Committee’s decision on such a connection and eligibility is final.   
 

NOTE: Players do not need to be from the same club.

Additional Information

Format:
The event is 36-holes with the following formats:
Day 1: Four-Ball, Stroke Play
Day 2: Modified Chapman.  This format has both players playing from the teeing area. Players then switch balls for the second shot. (Player 1 plays the ball of Player 2 and vice versa.)  This is true even on par 3 holes.  If a ball is not in the hole after each player has had the opportunity to play two shots, the team selects one of the balls and continues to alternate shots from that point. (Player 2's drive, Player 1's second shot, Player 2 will play the 3rd shot).  Team handicaps are calculated by taking 50% of the lower Handicap Index® and 20% of the higher Handicap Index®.

Only teams in the Championship Division are eligible to win the MGA Mixed Team Championship.  Flight winners are decided only from those teams witihin each flight.  In the Senior Flight, winners are recognized for both Net and Gross scores, but a team cannot win in both categories.

In the event of a tie for the Championship and Senior Gross division, there will be a hole-by-hole playoff immediately following play.  A tie for first in any other flight will be determined by a scorecard playoff following the recommended USGA procedure.

Schedule:
Monday, June 26: Starting times from 12:00-2:00 pm
Tuesday, June 27: Starting times from 8:00-10:00am
NOTE: Round 1 starting times will be created after registration has closed.  

Flights:
At registration, a team needs to decide in which flight it wishes to compete as follows:
  • Championship Flight (no handicap)
  • Net Flight (with handicap)
  • Senior Flight (must meet the age eligibility requirements)

Practice Rounds:
Practice rounds may be available at the discretion of the host facility.  To check on availability, contact the Brackett's Crossing Golf Shop (952/435-7700) and identify yourself as an MGA Mixed Team contestant.  Fees may be determined by the day and time you play.  

Driving Range:
Range balls will be provided prior to play each day.  The range will open at least 60 minutes prior to play.

Food and Beverages:
An awards luncheon will be available for all players at no cost following play on Day 2.
