The Tristate Club Team Championship is an invitational team disc golf event pitting club teams from western New York, northwestern Pennsylvania, and northeastern Ohio against each other for pride, bragging rights, possession of the Championship Trophy for 1 year, and the right to host next year’s Tristate Championship. Each team will bring one item to raffle off following the event. Funds raised will go to the hosting club. Teams will consist of one single player, three doubles pairs, and up to three substitutes from their club's geographic region. Players will compete in 6 hole matches in a round robin style, playing against all other clubs. Substitutions can be made between rounds, but must be planned so as not to delay starting times. Winning a match (single or double) will earn your club 1 point. Ties result in 0.5 points for each team. Female players will receive a tee advantage, for example if men tee from the white (middle) tees, female players will tee from the red (short) tees. After 5 rounds, total team points will be calculated. The top 2 teams will play their final 6 holes, match play, winner takes all for 1st place. The 3rd and 4th ranked teams will play for 3rd, and the 5th and 6th ranked teams will play for 5th place. Ties are decided by the result of the singles match between those teams. Following these final 6 holes, a tie for first place will only be decided by singles sudden death playoff between the players of choice by both tied teams, starting on Hole 1.
