• Coaches must check in around the back of the club house outside the pro shop by the practice green. 
• All coaches in attendance will be given an assignment to assist with conducting the state tournament.  Coaches may want to bring a chair as some coaches will be assigned to marshall.  Re-designating assigned duties without prior approval of the State Golf Committee is subject to “misconduct detrimental to the tournament” and its penalties as found in the MPSSAA Handbook.
• We will use the Golf Genius app for unofficial scoring.  All coaches should download the app on their phones prior to the tournament.
• Golf carts will be provided for scorers.  Spectators may purchase one cart per person on a first come basis.

During Tournament Play:

• All participants and spectators are subject to the rules and regulations of the University of Maryland Golf Course and the MPSSAA.
• The MPSSAA State Golf Championships are an extension of the educational day.  All local school system rules as well as MPSSAA rules regarding the use of tobacco, e-cigarettes, and alcohol are to be followed at all times.
• Spectators are restricted to the cart path and must remain off all fairways and greens.  
• All food and drinks for participants must be distributed through the official scorer.   Coaches or parents may not directly provide participants with any items during tournament competition.  
• Coaches, parents, students, and/or spectators are prohibited from providing direct or indirect advice to players, scorers, and tournament officials throughout the tournament.  Failure to comply may result in player disqualification and/or restricting the offending spectator to the clubhouse.  
• Distance measuring devices, including portable electronic devices, are allowed and permitted to be shared with other competitors.
• Participants may not ride on golf carts to their opening tee or back to the clubhouse after completing their round.
• The use of a caddie or motorized golf cart is not permitted, unless approved for special accommodations by MPSSAA.  Non-motorized push carts will not be available for rent at the state tournament.  
• Pace of Play – The MPSSAA State Golf Committee reserves the right to time a group whenever the Committee deems the group to be out of position.  Players should also be aware that under USGA Rule 5.6, the Committee may assess a penalty to a player in a group which is out of position if that player makes no effort to help the player’s group get back into position, e.g., such as when a player unduly delays play between shots.
• Regularly confirm scores after each hole with the scorer.

Post round of play:

• After each round scorers and all participants of each group must report to the scoring area to confirm and sign cards.
• Scorers return carts to the same location where they were picked up.
