Â
The Bracket Challenge hosted by the University of North Georgia is a medal match play event. The concept is unique in that it is an all-inclusive event that includes three rounds of golf, six meals and an option for on-site accommodations that are walking distance to the Forge, putting green and range. The event will include lineup announcements/pairings parties, team sticker advancements on a bracket board, a corn hole social and an awards ceremony on Tuesday.Â
Head-to-Head Medal Play: Each team match will consist of five points with one point being awarded for each individual match, or in the case of an individual match being tied a half point will be awarded. Each individual match will be played to its completion and the first team to win three points within the team match will advance. If a team match is tied after all five individual matches, the total strokes of the five players from each team (no drop score) will be calculated with the winning team having the fewest strokes.Â
New for 2025 - The third annual event will be treated as a 54-hole stroke play event on the Scoreboard by Clippd. Following a seeding round on Monday morning (play five, count four), teams will be seeded into a bracket for internal medal match play Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. For the two medal match play rounds, teams will be allowed to make substitutions prior to that round's pairings announcement.Â
