Effective August 31, 2011

1. How to Enter. You may enter a CityGolfTour (“CGT”) tournament by registering (requires annual fee) and paying the entry fee to the tournament you are interested in playing. By registering, you fully and unconditionally agree to the CGT’s Terms of Use, including these Official Rules. You must possess a verifiable USGA Handicap and play on a USGA santioned course.

2. The annual registration for CityGolfTour.com covers 12 months from the date of membership payment. CGT's tournaments shall run March through October or November of each year with a guaranteed minimum of 8 tournaments during that time (more to be added as the # of players increases).

3. Tournaments will be open to up to 156 players. If a tournament has to close prematurely, such as for technical problems or lack of reaching the minimum number of players (100), the tournament will be cancelled. In the case of cancellation, CGT will refund all entry fees for that tournament or allow the players to enter a future tournament in lieu of a refund, at CGT’s discretion. Each player must be at least 18 years old and possess a verifiable USGA handicap. Handicaps are currently verified through GHIN, Stracka or EZLinks. (If you would like us to add another handicapping service – send the request & web address to CGT for verification.)

4. You must post your current Handicap on the CityGolfTour.com site (the “Site”) prior to posting a score to a tournament.

5. Each round for each tournament must be played in the United States on a USGA sanctioned golf course with slope and course ratings. (Some Canadian courses are USGA santioned but must be preapproved by CGT prior to use in a tournament). When posting a score to a CGT tournament, players must verify that the course they play and our course info of slope, rating, & par match. If they do not match – the player must notify CGT. CGT will verify the correct information and update the site, if needed. (To add a course – send the course information to CGT for verification.)

6. Each player posts his or her gross score to a CGT tournament. The tournament score must also be posted to the player’s handicap index on www.GHIN.com, www.Stracka.com, or another approved site, to be considered a valid entry. We realize this score may show up differently on your handicap site if you are applying ESC (Equitable Stroke Control).

7. Winners will be subject to handicap, score, date, and course verification by CGT.

8. If it is found that the player has posted a score for a CGT tournament that was not also used for his or her USGA handicap, not given his or her correct USGA handicap, or in any other way knowingly enters the tournament with incomplete or inaccurate information, the player shall be subject to immediate sanction as determined by CGT in its sole discretion, including but not limited to terminating the profile, blocking access to the Site, removal from any tournaments entered, forfeiture of any entrance fees or prizes to which the player may have otherwise been entitled, and prohibition from opening a new profile or otherwise participating in any tournament.

9. Tournaments will begin on the start date posted on the CGT site at 12:01 am PST (Pacific Standard Time) and end on the end date posted on the CGT site at 12:00 midnight PST.

10. Each player is allowed to post 1 score per tournament. A score cannot be changed, updated, or revised once it is posted.

11. Each player can play in as many tournaments as he or she wants, however the same round cannot be used more than once, i.e., if you want to participate in tournaments that overlap dates, you’ll have to play one round for each separate tournament.

12. The round in consideration for the CGT tournament you have entered must be played during the dates of the tournament, i.e. if you register for a tournament for 8/1 - 8/15, you can only use a round that you play during those dates.

13. If a player enters a CGT tournament but does not post a score on our site by the end of the tournament, the player forfeits the entry fee.

14. Prizes are awarded to the top 20 players in each tournament, as follows:

    1. 1^st Prize = $50
    2. 2^nd Prize = $45
    3. 3^rd Prize = $40
    4. 4^th Prize = $35
    5. 5^th Prize = $30
    6. 6^th Prize = $25
    7. 7^th Prize = $20
    8. 8^th Prize = Free Tournament
    9. 9^th Prize = Free Tournament

    8. 18^th Prize = Free Tournament
    9. 19^th Prize = Free Tournament
    10. 20^th Prize = Free Tournament

    Ties will split all corresponding prize money evenly, e.g., a 2-way tie for 3^rd place will split 3^rd and 4^th place winnings, and the next winner in line will be 5^th place. A 3-way tie for 3^rd place will split 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th place winnings, and the next winner in line will be 6^th place.

15. Payment of winnings will be mailed to winners after verification of handicap, score, date and course. Verification can take up to 4 weeks from the close of the tournament. Payment is in US Dollars only and free tournaments will be administered via email notice by CityGolfTour. Cash prizes are mailed to winners in the form of a check made to the name of the person who registered.If a player wins a free tournament but their membership has expired, they will forfeit the free tournament if they do not renew their membership during the assigned free tournament dates.

16. If you are concerned about keeping your amateur status, you can request that we donate your winnings to an online charity, or email a gift certificate in lieu of the cash. Either the charity or the gift certificate choices must be agreed to by CityGolfTour.com.

17. The leaderboard on the Site will function as an unofficial list of winners until verification is complete. An official list will follow all verifications. The results and winners of each tournament offered on the Site will be determined and verified by CGT, and such determinations are final.

18. Players are responsible for all taxes due on their winnings per federal and state laws and regulations.
