All U.S. teams will pick a time slot on either Sunday morning, or Sunday, Monday or Tuesday night before the season starts (i.e. Monday 7pm). This will be your time slot for the full season.

If you or your team need to miss a league round – there are a couple of options that we have listed here:

• You are welcome to bring a sub to fill in for your spot for any regular season league round

• • If you bring a sub to fill in on any week, their score will be counted against their Trackman Handicap. If they already have a Trackman handicap developed – then this will be used toward scoring. If they do not already have a Trackman Handicap developed, they will play as a 0 handicap.

• Teams are able to reschedule two regular season league rounds at no extra charge. If you need to do this, make sure to reach out to your local league coordinator with your preferred day/time to reschedule the round to.

• • Any rounds rescheduled after the two free rounds have been used will cost 50% of the simulator rental fee

Entry will include:

• 8 Weeks of Play Guaranteed plus a free handicap week before the season kicks off (9 weeks total)
• Changing Drink Specials each week
• Opportunity to win Closest-to-the-pin prizes every week
• Access to welcome drinks, mid-round contests, and post round putting competitions

• Teams will compete against other local teams as well as teams across the country, and Internationally

• Play runs for 8 weeks, with 7 weeks of regular season, and 1 week of playoffs/championships

Each week on Friday evening, the course for the next week will be announced in a newsletter sent out to all players

• This newsletter will also contain general information for the season, including CTP prizes and winners, Drink specials, and much more!

• Each week teams will come in at their designated time and be directed to their simulator
• A League Coordinator at each location will help teams set up their round week to week
• Teams will not be given scorecards to fill out as all of the scores will be saved through Trackman

Males and Females will each play a tee box decided by Five Iron for each course specifically, decided week to week. Males generally will play from a tee box that is the 2nd or 3rd longest tee box, depending on the course. Females generally will play from the most forward tee box on the course, with the exception of courses that offer junior tee boxes.

Each week your team’s score will be your score to par for that week. (i.e. if you scored -2 the first week and then -4 the second week, you season score would be -6)
If teams tie during any week, the Tiebreaker is:

• Total of the last 6 holes
• Total of the last 3 holes
• Total of the last hole
• Sudden Death Matchplay from the last hole backwards

After week 6 – the top teams on each leaderboard will advance to the International Championship on March 31st, based on the following:

• Top 20 Gross Teams Internationally
• Top 20 Net Teams Internationally
• Top 10 Women’s Gross Teams internationally
• The Net and Gross Playoff Champs at each location

All other teams will be able to attend the End of Season Party and root on their local teams

• After the International Championship – our top international finishers in the Net, Gross, and Women’s leaderboard will be our International Champions
• Additionally – our top domestic finishers in the Net, Gross, and Women’s leaderboard will be our Domestic Champions

Teams may only win 1 trip – if one team wins multiple trips, they will pick the trip which they prefer, and the prize they do not choose will be awarded to the next top finisher on the leaderboard.

• All player handicaps will be capped at an 18 (2 strokes per hole) for any best ball rounds
• Five Iron Golf reserves the right to disqualify any team from the Net leaderboard who is suspected of purposely padding their handicap for the purpose of winning the net championship
  • Players may be asked to play an additional handicap round if this is suspected

• Five Iron Staff is welcome to play in any league season – but they and their team will be disqualified from any prizing associated with the league
• Any team with 5i staff members advancing to the championship will be replaced with the next best team on the leaderboard

• All players are expected to use the simulator properly and adhere to the Five Iron Golf Tour rules and regulations.
• Any attempts to manipulate the simulator as determined by the Five Iron Golf Tour in its sole discretion will be grounds for removal.
• Teeing up the ball is only permitted on the first shot of every hole. Any violations of this rule will result in a scoring adjustment or disqualification decided by the National League Coordinator.
