How the Season Works

League Scheduling & Weekly Deadlines
Do I have to play on a specific day?
No. League rounds may be completed anytime during the scheduled tournament week.
However, each tournament week has a closing deadline and tournament results are finalized when the week ends.
Can I play tournaments ahead of schedule?
Yes. Players may complete up to three tournaments in advance (the current week + 2 future tournaments).
Advance play is intended for vacations, work travel, fishing tournaments, family commitments, and other scheduling conflicts.
If you know you will be unavailable during an upcoming week, play ahead and stay current with the schedule.
Can I make up a tournament after the deadline?
No. Once a tournament week closes, scores are finalized, standings are updated, and the tournament is officially complete.
Because players are allowed to play up to three tournaments in advance, missed tournaments generally will not be reopened after the deadline.
What happens if I miss a tournament?
Missing a tournament does not remove you from the league. You may continue competing in future events.
However, missed tournaments receive no points and may impact playoff qualification and season standings.
The best way to make up for a missed tournament would be win a playoff event, especially the final event worth 3 times the normal tour event.
What about playoff and championship weeks?
Playoff and Championship events are expected to be completed during their designated week whenever possible.
Match Play rounds must be coordinated directly with your opponent and completed within the scheduled match week.
