2023-24 State Tournament Schedule

Day 1: Mon., May 6, AGC
Day 2: Tue., May 7, AGC

Qualifying Process

The top team in each of the eight (8) sections will automatically qualify for the state tournament.

  • The section winner will be determined by its iWanamaker (iWr) rankings within the section using the sum of the team’s four (4) best individual iWrs, who have played the minimum number of rounds.

Seven (7) at-large teams will qualify for the state tournament determined by their iWr ranking.

The formula for the Individual iWr ranking is:

  • (Gross Score – Course Rating) x 113/Slope Rating

The top 15 individuals not on a qualifying team and based on their individual iWr ranking at the conclusion of the regular season will qualify for the state tournament. Each player's best seven (7) rounds will be used for both team and individual qualification purposes. A minimum of seven (7) rounds is needed to qualify for both teams and individuals. A maximum of four (4) rounds at one course can be counted toward a player's iWr.
