8th Anniversary “FRASER CUP”
VGT vs. CHILLIWACK GOLF LEAGUE
NEW DATE SATURDAY OCTOBER 15TH
Chilliwack Golf Club
1:00pm Shotgun Start (all players)
On Saturday, October 15th the Vancouver Golf Tour (VGT) and Chilliwack Golf League (CGL) will do battle at Chilliwack Golf Club for the 8th Edition of “The FRASER CUP”. Like many of you experienced in 2019 this Match Play event will pitch the CGL’s match play specialists against the tour hardened veterans of the VGT. The title of this event comes from the geographical nature of the FRASER RIVER being the major divide between Chilliwack & the rest of the Lower Mainland.
The field is limited to 30 players from each organization for a total of 60 players. The selection to determine the 30 VGT Team Members is as follows:
HERE’S HOW TEAM VGT IS DETERMINED:
The Commish will Captain Team VGT and play the Captain of the Chilliwack Golf League.
The remaining 29 spots for the VGT will be determined as follows:
- The first 9 players registered with payment will be guaranteed entry to represent VGT.
- The top 5 players in each division (Champ, Div.1, 2 & 3) are guaranteed a spot on the VGT team until Sept.30th at 6pm. They have until this time to register with payment. After this time, those team spots will open up to the first players on the pending list in those flights who have registered with payment. For instance, if a top 5 player in Div. 1 cannot play, the first Div.1 player on the pending list not already confirmed in the field will get that spot.

EVENT FORMAT
Players from each team will be ranked by handicap on the day, and paired off 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, etc. Each match will be worth 1 point to the winner, or half a point each in the event of a tie. Matches will be played over 18 holes.
All matches will be scored on a gross basis unless the difference in handicap between the players is greater than 4 strokes, in which case the full stroke allowance will be used. The maximum allowable handicap for the event will be 20. Players with handicaps over 20 may still play but will be capped.
Once all matches have been completed, the team with the most points will win THE FRASER CUP. In the event the inaugural match is tied, a tie will result in the reigning champions retaining the cup (in this case, VGT).
