CCA Sports Putt Putt Golf Rules

 

Objective

 

Putt putt golf courses have 18 marked holes that are numbered. Players must complete each hole in number order without skipping any hole.  Players are required to putt the golf ball from the tee area and straight into the hole. The objective is to make it into each hole on the course in as few strokes as possible while each stroke taken counts as a point.  The player with the fewest strokes by the end of the round wins.

 

 

1.      Rounds consist of a two vs. two format.  The total strokes of both players on a team are added together and compared to the other team of two players.

2.      A round is won by the team with the least strokes

3.      A round consists of 18 holes with a shotgun start.  This means that depending on where you start you play through the course and finish on the hole prior to your starting hole.

4.      Score cards will be kept by the opposing team.  This means that the team you are playing against keeps your score.  At the end of the round both score cards need to be signed by captains and turned into league manager.

5.      Each player will complete his turn on a hole before the next person putts.  Teams will alternate putters so that a team does not putt both players in a row. 

6.      A player cannot total more than six points on any one hole.

7.      There are NO mulligans.

8.      If a player hits a ball out of bounds, the player will receive a one stroke penalty.

9.      If the ball comes to rest against the wall or an obstacle, the ball may be placed one length of the putter head away from the object, so long as it is not placed closer to the hole.

10.  Please do not swing the putter above ankle height.  If at any time you feel a player is being careless please notify the league manager.  You will be ejected by the league manager if you are not playing responsibly.

11.  All players must be on the roster by the third week of play, including subs.  After this no outside players will be allowed to sub.  This is strictly enforced for the tournament.

12.  Have Fun!

 

LEAGUE POLICIES        

 

FORFEITS:

 

Circle City Athletics will provide a staff member on-site to assist players with any problems or questions they may have. There are no referees.

 

If your team forfeits a match during the season, the following rules apply:

 


First Offense: Loss of game.


 

Second Offense: Loss of game and staff reserves the right to remove team from playoffs.

 

Third Offense: Removal from the league.

 

Any team that forfeits more than once also forfeits any guarantee or right to a certain number of guaranteed games.

If you know in advance that your team is going to forfeit a game, we encourage you to email the league manager so as to help us schedule your opponent a game.

 

Teams may play more than one match per day, and/or play matches on days/nights other than your regularly scheduled league day/night.  
CCA reserves the right to schedule playoff games on days other than your regularly scheduled league night.

 

Any questions regarding rules, policies, or eligibility must be addressed before the start of the game. 

    

STANDINGS:

 

The updated standings will be posted weekly, displaying each teams rank within its skill level.

 

PLAYOFFS:

 

Playoffs are single-elimination. Playoffs will take up to 2 weeks to complete and will best 2 out of 3 matches.

 

Playoff Sub Policy

 

WAIVERS:

 

In order to participate in the league, each participant must sign the team waiver. Waivers are provided and must be completed and handed in no later than the first night of play. Players not present the first week of play will still be required to sign a waiver with our staff before participating. These waivers will also serve as your final roster.

 

PLAYER ELIGIBILITY:

 

Any protest made during a game or after a game will NOT be considered a formal protest.  A formal protest may be filed before a game if an opposing player’s eligibility is in question. The player in question will be required to provide his/her player information (ID) in person to a CCA staff member prior to the start of the game. This qualifies as an official protest and only applies to the playoffs. The game will then be played in its entirety as scheduled. Teams will be notified of all rulings on the identified eligibility discrepancy by the following business day – decisions will not be made on site. If the protest is proven to be legitimate, it will result in the forfeiture of the game in question. Games subsequent to the protested game may be rescheduled.
The above procedure will also apply for any other “logged” protests. All protest need to happen prior to any match/game starting, otherwise the match/game will stand as a leagl match. All rulings by CCA staff are considered final. Substitutes are allowed during the regular season, but only roster players are allowed for the playoffs.  Any player(s) who has a season ending medical condition, moves away, or has another circumstance deem able for a subsitute player must be approved by sending a formal email to ben@ccasports.com.

 

SPORTSMANSHIP:

 

The idea of CCA is to have fun. We hope that all participants keep that in mind when becoming involved. Although the games may become intense, you still can be competitive while maintaining good sportsmanship. With this said, any behavior deemed unacceptable by staff may result in suspension and/or ejection from a game or the league.

 

To coordinate and run the league, our refs and/or staff will be available at all times to help the league run as smoothly as possible. If you have questions regarding schedules, policies, rule interpretations, directions to the bar, etc. please ask or call our office.

 

LEAGUE CANCELLATION/RAINOUT:

 

Leagues may be cancelled due to existing weather conditions, dangerous or unplayable field conditions, facility constraints, scheduling conflicts, etc. CCA staff makes every effort to play all scheduled games, thus we will not cancel games unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, if you are calling concerning a decision on a cancellation, remember we will not have an answer until close to the start of the league.

 

If the league is cancelled, CCA staff will post all notices on social media sites (Facebook/Twitter).  CCA will then email/text all of the captains if possible. If a league is cancelled on site, CCA staff will attempt to contact those teams still scheduled to play the remainder of the league day/night. Depending on the time of cancellation, some teams will have to be notified on site. In extreme circumstances, CCA reserves the right to run a shortened season without a refund or schedule matches on days and/or locations other than our regularly scheduled league day/night/location.
