  3. Participants must be at least 7 years of age, and may not be older than 15 years of age on the date of the National Finals.

A 15 year old who will turn 16 years of age on or before the date of the National Finals is not eligible to participate.
  4. All participants will be expected to show proof of age should they advance to regional qualifying. Failure to provide a birth certificate or proper form of age verification for the regional qualifier will result in that participant being ineligible to compete.
  5. Participants may register to compete in only one local qualifier. Competing in more than one local qualifier will result in the automatic disqualification of that participant.
  6. The guardian or parent, via online signature at registration, agrees to submit a release of liability, which is required prior to participation. Participation constitutes permission to use competitor’s name and likeness for any necessary purpose without compensation.

The participant with the highest point total in all three skills combined will be declared the overall champion of his or her age category.
  3. Use of a putter is not allowed for competition in the chip skill. Competitors may only use a lofted iron or wood club for this skill. A “chipper” club is considered an approved club for the chip skill.
