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 21 points, the second place player receives 20 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. 

​

There are six Twin City League dates each summer (i.e., each club hosts once every four 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 strongly encouraged to stay and socialize if possible. FYI: Food charges should be approximately $35/player including tax and gratuity (which covers both breakfast and lunch). 

​

Players do not pay green fees to compete in the weekly Twin City League events. Rather, 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.).
