The Richmond Golf Channel Am Tour is pleased to announce that for the 2016 Golf Channel Am Tour Season we will recognize the “Player of the Year” (POTY) in each of the 12 respective flights, Sponsored by Richmond Golf Links.


This program is designed to recognize the best Richmond-Am Tour players in each flight for both the Open and Senior divisions. The goal of the program is to encourage game improvement, model behavior, competitiveness and support of the local Tour.



Eligibility: Players must meet the following requirements in order to be eligible to earn selection as POTY


1.) Player must NOT have been disqualified from any Am Tour Tournament for intentional breech of the rules or conduct unbecoming during the 2016 Season.


2.) Player must NOT have been penalized two (2) or more times for slow play at any tournament during the 2016 Season.


3.) Player must NOT have NO Called/NO Showed at any Richmond Am Tour Tournament during the 2016 Season


4.) Player must NOT have demonstrated unbecoming conduct as stated in the Player Handbook under Section 11 - Player Conduct at any Am Tour Tournament during the 2016 Season


5.) Player must play in at least 8 Richmond Am Tour Tournaments during the 2016 Season


6.) Player must play in at least 3 Richmond Am Tour tournaments during the summer months of June, July, or August during the 2016 Season


7.) Player must NOT have been moved to a higher handicap flight during the 2016 Season. Example: A Player is moved from the Palmer flight to the Hogan flight; they will not be eligible for POTY



NOTE: The 2016 Richmond Am Tour Season starts with the tournament at King Carter on 03/26/2016 and ends with the tournament at Jefferson-Lakeside CC on 08/21/16



Player of the Year Selection: The Richmond Am Tour Players in each flight (Senior and Open Divisions) who are eligible and have earned the most Order of Merit Points (OOMP) in their flight by the last designated Richmond Am Tour local tournament of the 2016 Season will be selected as Player of The Year for their flight. The following Order Merit Points count toward qualifying


1.) Only Order of Merit Points earned playing local Richmond Am Tour tournaments will count

NOTE: ALL Chesapeake Cup Challenge tournaments will count towards Player of the Year Standings, including those hosted by the DC and Baltimore Tours


2.) Only the Order of Merit Points from the player’s top 12 finishes will count. So if a player competed in 15 tournaments only the Order of Merit Points for the player’s top 12 finishes will count


3.) If a player is promoted to a lower handicap flight, their points will be adjusted so they are tied for 2nd place in the new flight. This is to encourage player performance improvement


4.) If a player is promoted to a lower handicap flight after they have their required 8 tournaments in and are currently leading their flight in Order of Merit Points they will continue to hold that position until their point total is surpassed or they assume the Order of Merit Point lead in their promoted flight in the Player of the Year Standings


5.) There will be a “Lock In Date” of August 1, 2016, whereas, if a player that is leading in Order of Merit Points, for Player of the Year, is promoted to a lower handicap flight they will, (for POTY purposes only) remain in that flight, unless they assume the lead in their promoted flight before the conclusion of the season



General Information:


1.) Standings by flight will be provided by the Richmond Am Tour Director monthly via email and provided at local tournaments


2.) In the unlikely event there is a tie of the Order of Merits Point the following steps will be taken to determine the Player of The Year:

a.) Winner's Circle highest ranking for all eligible tournaments played

b.) Top 10 highest ranking for all eligible tournaments played



What do You Win?







Each Flight Player of The Year will receive a Srixon Tour Bag with 2016 Am Tour Player of The Year - Richmond embroidered on it



NOTE: This is a Local Am Tour program for active Richmond Am Tour Members only and is sponsored by Richmond Golf Links. If you have questions or need more information about the program please contact the Richmond Am Tour Director
