(Click for printable version in PDF format)

The 2010 SRM field will consist of approximately 39 players from the categories below, including additions, with spots being filled by applicants from these categories in numerical order. All applicants from categories

1-6 will be automatically accepted, regardless of the number. Once the field is full (accepting applicants in category 1 first, 2 next, and so on), the applicants from lower categories will not gain entry unless earning a spot through one of two qualifying rounds. Only the oldest age divisions of each tournament will be considered.

Additions: (apply to all categories)
A.	The entry committee reserves the right to exempt additional players.
B.	Anyone not in the top 35 of the listed entrance criteria can still gain entry through one of two 18 hole qualifiers( the first on Saturday, 4/24/10 and the second on Wednesday, 5/12/10 ), with each player being allowed only one qualifying attempt. There will be two spots in each ualifier, regardless of the number of applicants, making the size of the tournament field 39 players.

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 eight other players have applied from category 7, then the first two of those will be accepted (based on the order of the criteria) to reach 35 total. The six other players in category 7 not chosen and the remaining players that meet the lower criteria will be ranked by the committee as alternates and will then only earn entry through a qualifier, or if their alternate spot is needed. The four spots being held for the qualifiers will bring the field to a total of 39 players. The field size may be reduced if the # of applicants from the nine categories is less than 39. If that is the case, the entry committee reserves the right to fill out the field with players not meeting any of the entrance criteria, and will base selections on a review of player applications. Each player’s position within each category is determined by the order of each tournament listed. Using category 8 for example, the USGA Girls Jr. is first, the Doral Publix Jr. Classic second, the Arizona Silver Belle Jr. third, the Kathy Whitworth Invitational fourth, and the Junior World Championships is fifth.

Note:	The SRM entry committee reviews the exemption criteria yearly and makes changes as necessary. All entry committee decisions are final.

2010 Qualifying Information

In the event that an applicant does not meet any of the entrance criteria, as set forth by the Entry Chairmen, 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. There will be two qualifying round opportunities as follows: Qualifying round #1 will be held on Saturday April 24, 2010 and qualifying round #2 will be held on Wednesday May 12, 2010. Each qualifying round will be limited to no more than 65 in the older boys division and no more than 25 in the older girls division. These fields will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. (Information on how to request your preference of qualifiers will be sent out my U.S. Mail the first of April.)

The Scott Robertson Memorial Entry Committee guarantees 1 spot for every 14 qualifiers in the boys 15-18 division and 2 spots in each qualifier for the 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 a $125 refund will be returned to the player, half of the original entry fee.

Should there be an interest and a suitable number of applicants for the boys or girls 14 and under division, the Entry Committee may consider a qualifier for these divisions on April 24, 2010. We will notify the participants in this division after the entry deadline, by US Mail, if there is enough participation to warrant a qualifier. Please indicate on your application that you will attempt to qualify if we do hold a qualifier in your division.

There will be one spot awarded to the boy’s points winner in the Spring Scott Robertson Memorial Junior Golf Tour, in each Boys division. (Boys 15-18 and Boys 14 and under) The Committee will also award spots to the top 3 in point in the Boys 15-18 Division to the Roanoke Valley Hall of Fame Junior, at the time of the entry deadline.

The US Challenge Cup will hold a qualifier for the Scott Robertson Memorial for New England residents. Please visit their website regarding this opportunity at www.uschallengecup.org .

Please note these important changes in the 2010 qualifier policies.

There will be no alternate spots awarded at either qualifier date, for any division.

Any positions that open up in the tournament field, due to a withdrawal, will be filled by those applicants that meet the entrance criteria, for their division. (For example: If we fill the tournament field using those that meet the criteria categories 1- 5, any spots that open up in the tournament field will be filled, starting by those meeting category 6. Those that meet the criteria in that category will be called in order by their national ranking, from lowest to highest as they are needed to fill withdrawals.)

If you elect to participate in one of the two qualifiers held at Roanoke Country Club, you will no longer be allowed to be considered an alternate to the field, even if you are the next in line to fill a spot based on your entrance criteria.
