Welcome to the 2020 US Open Women's Handicap Tournament! We have 12 teams competing in this year's tournament. Please see the tournament format below:
Tournament Format: We will play a knockout tournament format with a subsidiary tournament beginning after the first round games. The Friday subsidiary games will be 2 chukker playoff games to see who advances to the Saturday Subsidiary final.
Round Robin Rules:
The winner of the Round Robin is the team with the best won-lost record. In the event of a won/lost tie at the end of the Round Robin, the order of finish will be determined using the following method:
1. Based on net goals
2. If net goals is inconclusive, then gross goals
3. Lastly, the “shoot out” procedure set forth in USPA Outdoor Rule 14.d, if both net goals and gross goals are inconclusive
Round Robin & 2 Chukker Playoff Tied Game Rules:
Should any 2 chukker game result in a tie, the winner shall be determined by the shootout procedure in USPA Outdoor Rule 14.d except that only 1 player from each of the tied teams will shoot. The shootout will take place immediately following the game between the 2 tied teams.
Rule 14.d for round robins & 2 chukker playoff games:
1 player from each of the tied teams will shoot Penalty 3s. After players have hit, the teams with more points is declared the winner. Should a tie remain after the first round, players will hit again, however the team which hit first will now hit second.
