Each club fields a team of three players (Positions 1, 2, 3) who compete within their position in GROSS competition. Players are assigned to positions according to their handicap. Points are awarded within each position as follows: the low gross player receives 24 points, the second place player receives 23 points and so forth. In the event of ties, points are totaled and divided equally, which means players could receive half points. If a club does not have three players, they will get zero points in any empty positions. If a club only has 2 players, they will play in the #1 and #2 positions, leaving the #3 position without a player. If a player is disqualified for any reason, she receives zero points. If a players withdraws/does not finish, she will receive zero points.

The team that accumulates the most points over the course of the year by adding all 3 positions each week will be that year's City League Champion. The winning team receives a traveling trophy that is kept in their possession until the end of the next season of league play (when it is awarded to the next year's champion). The winning team is responsible for engraving their Club and Player names on the trophy. The League will reimburse expenses.

There are seven Twin City League dates each summer (i.e., each club hosts once every three years). All events are conducted on Friday mornings with either 8:30 am or 9:00 am shotguns. Every event is followed by a buffet lunch, prizes and announcements. All players will be billed for food, whether they stay for lunch or not. To go containers are usually available if necessary but players are encouraged to stay and socialize if possible. FYI: Food charges should be approximately $35 per player including tax and service charges (which covers both breakfast and lunch).

Players do not have to pay green fees to compete in Twin City League events. Each member club pays $150.00 dues for the season. However, players are responsible for individual expenses over and above green fees (i.e., caddies, carts, food/beverage, etc.).
