Determination of Tied Scores:
For all first place ties there will be an on-course playoff (course/weather/daylight permitting along with course availability). The playoff will continue until a player records a lower score than the other(s) on a particular hole (sudden death). If an on-course playoff is not possible, a scorecard playoff will take place using the cumulative score of the back nine (#10 - #18), then the front nine cumulative score (#1 - #9), then the last 3 holes (#16 - #18). If the players are still tied after matching the final 3 hole scores, then it goes to 3 hole increments starting on holes (#1 - #3).

All other ties will be determined by a scorecard playoff using the cumulative score of the back nine (#10 - #18), then the front nine cumulative score (#1 - #9), then starting 3 holes increments starting on holes (#1 - #3) and so on until tie is broken.

* Spectators are not to give rulings to competitors before, during, or after the tournament round -- only Junior Golf Championships rules officials are authorized to give rulings to competitors.
