Tournament Process

TOURNAMENT REGISTRATIONS AND TEE TIMES

Only SAT members may participate in SAT tournaments across the country without restrictions. Guests are only permitted to play in accordance with the official guest policy contained within this manual. All participants must follow the same registration process.

All tournament registrations must be done through the website via the Schedule tab which contains a registration link for every event. Registration normally ends one week prior to the event (please adhere to the stated deadlines found on the local tour’s registration requirements). Deadlines are based upon contracts with the golf courses. Directors often need to pay for tee times a week in advance, therefore it is important to get entry fees into the system ASAP. Most of the courses utilize one week as an acceptable window for the Tour Director to guarantee tee times.

We welcome your registration for all events as soon as possible. Many members register for all the events they plan to play throughout the season at the same time they join the Tour and then pay the tournament fees before each deadline. However, registration does not guarantee a spot in the tournament if a sellout occurs. The only way to guarantee placement to the tournament is to pay for it. All tournaments are open to SAT members at the same time, regardless of the player’s home tour. Within 24 – 48 hours of the local Tour Director receiving your registration, your name will be added to the Who’s Playing List for the event. Similarly, your paid status will be updated within 24 – 48 hours of receiving your payment. Who’s Playing Lists are available via the Schedule tab and are manually updated – if your information is not correctly posted and it has been more than 48 hours, please reach out to the local Tour Director via the Contact Director tab.

Payment for an event secures your position in a tournament, however, your registration helps tour directors anticipate/adjust player counts on an on-going basis. Once registered for a tournament, you may withdraw at any time by sending an email to the local Tour Director. If your request was made within the event’s stated guidelines, you will be removed from the roster and refunded according to the Tournament Cancellations and No Shows section of this manual. If you are accepted as a late entry (after the registration deadline) you are not automatically eligible for a refund and must consult with the local Tour Director.

Tee times will be posted on the SAT website at least one day prior to all one-day events via the Tee Times – Pairings tab. Pairings for the second day of a two-day tournament will be posted as soon as possible after the conclusion of the first round. We recommend you check the site before going to the course in case there are last minute changes to pairings. If you do not see your name on the pairings, please contact the tour director hosting the event via the information located on the Contact Tour Director tab.
