Oversubscription Policy

OVER SUBSCRIPTION - A Class, B Class, Senior

The popularity of many OVGA events can result in over subscription (i.e. more applications than can be accommodated). 

In these cases the respective OVGA Ladder for the event will be used as the authority for making the draw while respecting that a maximum of ten (10) percent be reserved for new or returning participants. Members are urged to participate in all OVGA events in order to establish a position on the appropriate ladder.

A Class, B Class, Senior Events

Entries will be processed based upon applications from member clubs submitted in accordance with approved procedures.

The OVGA office will determine the draw using the following basic criteria: A maximum of ten(10) percent of the field will be reserved for new or returning members who have not had the opportunity to establish themselves on the OVGA Ladder for their respective category. The remainder of the draw will be comprised of applicants from member clubs using the respective OVGA Ladders. The Ladder will be the authority for establishing the field and the relative tee times. Performance results in OVGA events will take precedence over handicaps entered on the application.

Mid Amateur Events

The primary criteria used to determine qualification for entry into events that are over subscribed is based on participation  in previous OVGA events. Preference will be given to those entrants who have played in the previous year's Championship. A maximum of ten (10) percent of the field will be reserved for new or returning members
