Instructions for Running a UWGA
Sanctioned Event

A UWGA State Sanctioned Tournament is a tournament that follows the UWGA Standing Rules, Article I – State Sanctioned Tournaments. A UWGA State Sanctioned Tournament receives money from the UWGA to aid in running the tournament. This amount is determined by the UWGA Board and is based on funds available for the year. The amount that will be given to each state sanctioned tournament chair for 2010 is $3 per valid entrant. In order to receive the $3 per participant, it is the responsibility of the tournament chair to make sure all tournament players are paid UWGA members.

Listed are steps to follow to run a UWGA state sanctioned tournament:

1. You can print a copy of Standing Rule, Article I – State Sanctioned Tournaments from this website. Everyone involved in running a state sanctioned tournament must follow the guidelines in this document. If you have any questions concerning Standing Rule, Article I, please contact one of the UWGA Board members for clarification.

2. Click here to see the “Sanctioned Tournament Checklist” that identifies tasks to be done in running your tournament.

3. At least one week before your tournament, contact the UWGA Treasurer. The Treasurer will work with you in making sure all players are current UWGA members. If there are players who are not current members, it is your responsibility to collect their membership dues and having them fill out the appropriate information on the “Tournament Financial Results & Dues Remittance Form”. Click here to see the “Tournament Financial Results & Dues Remittance Form”. If all dues are not collected, funds may be withheld at the discretion of the UWGA Board.

The 2010 UWGA Treasurer is:
Veon Harkey
549 East Splendor View Cir
Midvale, UT 84047
(801) 566-9004

There are several things you must do after the tournament has been played.

4. Players must post adjusted scores to posting sheet, unless the tournament is such where an individual score cannot be determined (i.e a scramble, chapman or Ryder cup type tournament). Tournament chairs must post adjusted scores on the UGA or GHIN System within 5 days of tournament.

5. File a financial report with the UWGA Treasurer. This is the form mentioned in (3) above.

6. By the Fall Meeting of each year, or as soon as possible thereafter, you must fill out the attached document titled “2011 Tournament Information Sheet”. Click here for the “2011 Tournament Information Sheet”. It is imperative that we receive this information as soon after the Fall Meeting as possible so the Board can put together the Spring Newsletter that lists all tournaments for the following year. In order to make the PGA Book of Golf, all tournament information must be submitted to them by the first of December.
