Determination of Winners

Winners will be determined using the USGA recommended method for determining the Most Improved Player. The method is as follows:

Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the start date. The number 12 is used to provide a consistent value for all players being evaluated. This value is A. Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the end date. This value is B.

Divide value A by value B, calculating to three decimal places. This is the improvement factor. The player with the highest improvement factor is the most improved player.

Example for Most Improved Player:

Starting Index: 24.3
Ending Index: 16.2
Value A: 24.3 + 12 = 36.3
Value B: 16.2 + 12 = 28.2
A / B: 36.3 / 28.2 = 1.287…
Improvement Factor: 1.287

Breaking Ties: Ties will be broken by extending beyond three decimal places until a winner is determined.
