Additions: (apply to all categories)
A.	The entry committee reserves the right to exempt additional players.
B.	1-2 spots will be available at each of two 18 hole qualifiers (one for local/regional players, and a 2nd for national/international players), with each player being allowed only one attempt at qualifying.

Example:	If 33 players apply from the first 6 categories, all of those applicants will be accepted (this includes any special exemptions granted by the entry committee). If 8 other players have applied from category 7, then 2 of those will be accepted( based on the criteria ) to reach 35 total. The 5 players in category 7 not accepted (as well as any from categories 8 and 9) will be ranked by the committee as alternates until the qualifiers have been played, at which point the alternates will be designated from the qualifiers (1-2 spots available in each based on the # of entries, 4 maximum). The remaining applicants in category 7, plus those in 8 and 9 will then only earn entry through the qualifier. The field size may be reduced if the # of applicants from the 9 categories is less than 39, though the entry committee reserves the right to fill out the field with players not meeting any of the entrance criteria categories based on the committee’s review of player applications.

Note:	The SRM entry committee reserves the right to review the exemption criteria yearly and make changes as necessary. All entry committee decisions are final.

Please see our refund policies for further information.

Girls 14 and Under Acceptance Guidelines

This year’s 2006 field will consist of approximately 12 girls in the 14 & under age division. If the entry committee is required to choose between applicants due to an excess of applications, acceptance will be based on the following criteria:

1. National multi-day tournament performance.
2. Golfweek or NJGS ranking.
3. Scoring ability on challenging courses.
4. Improvement throughout the previous year.
5. Past performance in the SRM.
6. Regional/local multi-day tournament performance.

Based on this criteria the entry committee will choose the top 6 applicants. Up to 3 more local/regional applicants will then be chosen. The remaining 3 participants will earn entry into the field through an 18 hole qualifier, either on Saturday April 16th or Wednesday May 18th (if there is enough interest to warrant a qualifier). If there is not enough interest to justify a qualifier, the remaining 3 participants will be chosen by the entry committee based on the above criteria. All remaining applicants will then be ordered as alternates and may only earn entry if a participant withdraws before the tournament.

Qualifying Information

In the event that an applicant does not meet any of the entrance criteria (listed on our website) or the applicant's entrance criteria category does not make the field due to the large number of applicants, they will be offered the opportunity to try and qualify into the tournament field. If you would like to participate in the qualifier, fill out the tournament application and indicate on the application that you will attempt to qualify.

There will be two qualifying round opportunities. A local qualifying round, for Virginia residents, will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2006. A second qualifying round will be held for out of state participants on Wednesday May 17, 2006. It may be possible for an out of state participant to try and qualify in the local qualifier on April 29th, or a Virginia resident may try and qualify on May 17th. The participant must put this request in writing and will be considered at the discretion of the Scott Robertson Memorial Entry Committee based on availability.

Should there be an interest and a suitable number of applicants for the boys or girls 14 and under division, the Entries Committee may consider a qualifier for these divisions on May 17, 2006 only. The Scott Robertson Memorial Entry Committee guarantees 1 spot for every 14 qualifiers in the boys/girls 15-18 division.

If a player is not accepted, and declares on their application that they will not attempt to qualify, their full entry fee will be returned. If an applicant participates in the qualifier and fails to qualify an $87.50 refund will be returned to the player, half of the original entry fee.
