Tees & State Open of Virginia Qualifying: There will be four sets of tees with females in the Regular Division or Senior Division playing at approximately 85% of the distance of the males in the Regular Division or Senior Division, respectively. However, any MAPGA professional, regardless of age or gender, wanting to qualify for the State Open of Virginia must play from the men's regular division tees. Any MAPGA professional entering the Senior Division will be ineligible to try to qualify for the State Open of Virginia.
Senior Division: There will be an optional separate Senior Division, for prize money and for Player of the Year Points, for those MAPGA Members and Apprentices age 50 and over as of the tournament date. Seniors wishing to compete in the Senior Division will play for a separate purse based on the percentage of Seniors in the overall field. There must be at least five Seniors signed up for a Senior Division to be established. If the requirement is not met, those who wished to play in the Senior Division will be given the opportunity to withdraw with a full refund (less a $5 transaction fee) or play in the Regular Division.
Ties: A tie for first place only in either the Regular or Senior Divison shall be decided by a sudden death playoff beginning immediately following completion of play. All other ties shall split prize money and POY points.
