  ELIGIBILITY: To qualify for the CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP tournament, a member must have participated in prior MGC events in the current season. This requirement is satisfied by either: A. at least five (5) regular Wednesday Sweeps; or B. at least two(2) monthly tournaments preceding the CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP; or C. one (1) monthly tournament and at least three (3) Sweeps. The requirement does not apply to first year members, and exceptions for others may be made for good reason, with the approval of the Board. This policy shall be effective with the 2022-2023 season.
