Each season, the NCPGA Junior Tour schedules a Match Play Championship. The two-day championship is an invitation-only event that features the top 16 players from the tour’s two 18-hole divisions. All players are required to play 36 holes on the first day of the event, each qualifier for day two must be available for 36 holes.
The first two rounds of the Match Play Championship are played on the first day along with a beaten eights round. Winners then advance to play on the second day.
NCPGA Match Play Eligibility Criteria (revised May, 2009)
Criteria 1: You are eligible if the average of your best three events is less than 90. Should there be more than 16 eligible; the field is set as the top 16 averages.
Criteria 2: Should the field of 16 not be full from step 1, those who have played in less than three rounds would be eligible based on their best score posted so long as the score does not exceed 95 with no required number of rounds played.
Criteria 3: After criteria 1&2 are exhausted the final positions, if available are the decision of the USGA intern and the NCPGA Executive Director
