A player's points total will consist of the sum of their top-5 tournament finishes.  Note that a player is not required to play in five events to be eligible for the NYSGA Amateur Series Championship.  If a player competes in more than five events, only the top-5 finishes will be used when calculating their final point tally. To view how this point system works, please refer to the table below.                  

New for 2017: Number of Invitations: The top 104 players on the 2017 NYSGA Amateur Series Points List will be invited to compete in the Championship at Turning Stone's Shenendoah Golf Club on Friday, September 29th. If a player is unable to accept the invitation, the next person on the list will be invited until the field of 104 players is reached.

Note: There will no longer be a separate Men's and Women's points list. The championship field will consist of the top 104 players on the points list, regardless of how many men and women make the field. Point schedules (see below) will remain the same for both men and women.

Divisions: Three divisions have been established: Men’s Open (all ages), Men’s Senior (ages 55+) and Women (all ages). Players will be required to select a division during the registration process. A minimum of 5 players are required for a division to be eligible for the Points List.

Flights: Divisions are broken down into equal sized flights based on entrants’ handicap index as of the tournament’s entry deadline. The number of flights will be determined by the number of entrants in each division as follows: 5-19 players (1 flight), 20-39 players (2 flights), 40+ players (3 flights).

Points: Points will be awarded to players in each flight depending on their net finish only. The number of points given will be determined by the number of players in each flight. Several “Points Schedules” have been created and will be applied at each event depending on the number of players in each flight.

Point Schedules: Listed below are the Point Schedules for 2017, organized flight size:
