GENERAL ADMINISTRATION Administrative Personnel: The Commissioner and Conference office staff are responsible for all administrative, marketing and operational details of the tournament. Charlie Hussey Kory Dahlen Mark Womack Chuck Dunlap Tournament Director Tournament Operations Executive Associate Commissioner Communications Awards: The tournament individual champion, runner-up and scholar athlete of the year award will be recognized in front of the leaderboard on the Corn Barn lawn following the conclusion of the stroke play competition. The tournament championship trophy will be awarded to the winning team after the final round of match play competition in front of the leaderboard on the Corn Barn lawn. Inclement weather may affect plans for trophy presentations. Coaches Committee: The Coaches Committee members for the 2018 Championship are Brian Craig (Kentucky), Chuck Winstead (LSU) and Chris Malloy (Ole Miss). Coaches Meeting: There will be a mandatory meeting of head coaches on Tuesday, April 24 at 5:30 pm ET at The Corn Barn. The agenda will include a review of Tournament procedures and local rules with rules officials and the All-SEC nominations. Dates and Sites: 2019 April 24-28, Location TBD Dress Code: Contestants must wear uniforms of the same color during competition and practice. Walking or Bermuda shorts are permitted, provided they are team shorts and are of the same color. Slacks or shorts may be worn at the individual s discretion, provided they are of the same color and are considered the team uniform. If a student-athlete wears headgear during competition, it must display only an institutional, conference or NCAA logo, or no logo. If there is no logo, a coach s or team member s headgear must be of an institutional color. A manufacturer s logo may appear on the side or back of the item as long as it conforms to NCAA Bylaw 12.5.5. Team members are not required to wear the same headgear. In the best interest of intercollegiate golf and the championships, participants must wear appropriate golf attire at the tournament site. All participants and coaches should have their shirts tucked in while on the golf course for practice and competition rounds. [Reference: Bylaw 12.5.4 in the NCAA Division I Manual.] Entries, Line-ups and substitutions: Each team may enter five players. Players and their positions may be changed up to the time they are called to the first tee on the first day of competition. An institution may travel with up to six players, however only five players may participate in the practice round. Please turn in team lineups at the coaches meeting on Tuesday, April 24, 2018. Equipment: Distance Measuring Devices In this competition, a player may use a device to measure distance only. However, if, during a stipulated round, a player uses a function to measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind-speed, temperature, etc.); the player is in breach of Rule 14-3. Portable Electronic Devices The use of portable electronic devices with earphones or the like is prohibited on the competition course during any round of the Championship, including the Practice Round. Violation of this policy will result in the following penalties: (First Offense) player receives a warning; (Second Offense) two-stroke penalty assessed during opening round of the championship; (Third Offense) disqualification from championship. 1

Softspikes The Sea Island Golf Club has a softspikes only policy. For the practice round and competition rounds, all players must wear softspikes. Violations of this rule will result in the normal NCAA applied penalty, two strokes per hole with a four stroke maximum penalty. Fee: Each participating institution is responsible for paying a Championship fee of $10,000 to the Sea Island Golf Club. Institutions will be invoiced prior to the Championship and payment is due no later than April 20, 2018. The fee includes the following for the practice round and days of competition: (1) breakfast and lunch for all participants and coaches, (2) access to the practice range, short-game area, and putting greens, (3) access to the Seaside Course, and (4) all service fees. Format: All 14 teams will complete 54 holes of stroke play. Following 54 holes of stroke play competition, the top eight teams will advance for match play competition. The individual champion and individual runnerup will be determined following 54 holes of stroke play. The top eight teams (see Tiebreaker Policy below if necessary) will be placed into a bracket with the No. 1 seed playing the No. 8 seed, the No. 2 seed playing the No. 7 seed, the No. 3 seed playing the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 seed playing the No. 5 seed in match play. A total of five points will be available with one point being awarded for each individual match. A stipulated round will be extended to as many holes as necessary to determine a match winner. Winning teams will advance to the semifinals and subsequently the finals. The first team to win three points within the team match will advance, or in the case of the final match be declared the Conference champion. Once a team has won three individual matches, any remaining individual matches will be halted at that point with the individual match recorded as it currently stood. Match play lineups will be determined using the same method employed at the Presidents Cup matches. The higher-seeded team (as determined through the 54-hole stroke-play portion), Team 1, will have the first choice of putting a player on the board for Match #1. The opposing team, Team 2, will then name its player for Match #1. Team 2 will then name its player for Match #2, and Team 1 will name its player for Match #2. The process will continue in an S curve until the players for all five matches are named. However, Team 1 may defer in the selection process and permit Team 2 to begin the overall selection process. Pairings for the quarterfinals will be determined following the completion of the 54-hole stroke-play competition and the crowning of the individual champion and runner-up. Pairings for the team semifinals and finals will be determined following the completion of the previous match play round. Ties for pairing positions will be broken according to the non-sudden-death tiebreaking procedures outlined below. The Rules committee will do everything possible to complete 54 holes of stroke play and each match of the championship. However, the committee reserves the right to modify pairings for weather. See Inclement Weather below. Golf Carts: Golf carts will be provided as follows: 1. Players. Golf carts will be permitted for the practice round only, unless the coaches committee, rules officials and host deem necessary 2. Coaches. One cart will be provided to each institution and only a member of the coaching staff may drive the cart. 3. Rules Officials. Golf carts will be provided to rules officials. 4. Tournament Staff. Golf carts will be provided to tournament officials. 5. Spectators. Golf carts are not permitted for spectators. Exceptions may be made for special needs. In this case, a head coach must submit the name of the spectator for whom a golf cart is requested to the tournament director at least seven days in advance of the tournament. The 2

tournament director will then send a Golf Cart Request Form to be completed by such spectator. Fulfillment of these requests will be at the discretion of the SEC Championship Director, provided carts are available. Inclement Weather: The championship may be shortened due to inclement weather as no provision is made for extending the Championship to a sixth day. A minimum of 36 holes of stroke play competition is required to name an individual and team champion. If this is not completed the Conference Champion will be awarded to the #1 seed based on the final regular season Golfstat rankings. A minimum of 54 holes of stroke play shall be completed before match play is to begin. If weather dictates that the match play portion of the tournament cannot begin as scheduled, the Rules Committee, in consultation with the Coaches Committee, may shorten the match play portion of the tournament to four teams rather than eight. If weather dictates that the match play portion of the tournament is unable to be played, the tournament champion will be designated based on the lowest team score of the rounds that all teams have completed in the stroke play portion of the tournament. If match play commences and only one round of match play is completed (meaning four of the eight teams remain) the tournament champion will be designated based on the lowest team score of the rounds that all teams have completed in the stroke play portion of the tournament. If match play commences and two rounds of match play are completed (meaning two of the eight teams remain), the final two teams remaining in match play will be declared co-champions. The team with the highest seed based on the final regular season Golfstat rankings will receive the Conference s automatic qualifier. The Rules Committee, in consultation with the Tournament Director, Coaches Committee and Golf Club, will determine whether a round should be cancelled or resumed and determine pairings as appropriate for the cancelled or resumed rounds. Lodging: A limited block of rooms for participating teams has been reserved at The Inn at Sea Island. The Inn at Sea Island St. Simons Island 100 Salt Marsh Drive St. Simons Island, Ga. 31522 844-234-2964 Meal Package: As part of the tournament fee, the Sea Island Golf Club will provide breakfast in the club locker room and lunch in the Corn Barn each day including the practice round. The schedule of events located in the front of the manual outlines meal times. On Tuesday night a team reception will be held in the Corn Barn for all teams. Meals will be provided only for student-athletes, coaches and tournament personnel. Please note that spectators may purchase food and beverages at the Turn-house Pavilion located behind the No. 9 green. Medical/Training Room: A volunteer from the University of Florida will serve as a trainer throughout the championship. He will provide taping and treatment for all teams. Each institution should bring its own supplies. Official Scoring: The GolfStat scoring software will manage the official scoring of the tournament. Pairings: Pairings for the practice round, first round will be determined by the final regular season Golfstat rankings. For the second and third round, teams will be paired according to score. All teams will begin on the first or tenth tee. Starting times for each round can be found in the Appendix. Team ties will be broken using the NCAA Championship tie-breaking procedures for all rounds of play as follows (except for determining the eighth spot for match play, in which case a playoff will commence following 54 holes of stroke play): 3

(1) Cumulative total of the non-counting scores, (2) highest cumulative individual total, (3) second-highest cumulative individual total, (4) third-highest cumulative individual total, (5) fourth-highest cumulative individual total, (6) fifth-highest cumulative individual total, (7) Tournament Committee decision. Individual ties will be broken as follows: (1) Most recent score, (2) original first round seeding. Parking: Spaces for each institution will be available in the main parking lot of the Golf Club. Practice Rounds: Each team may play a four-hour practice round at the site of the championship on Wednesday morning from 7:20 a.m. 11:20 a.m. The round will conclude at 11:20 a.m. and will be signaled by a horn. Teams are limited to five players during the practice round. All other team play (defined as five or more players or any player with a coach) at the site of the championship is prohibited: All other individual play at the site of the championship is prohibited, except as follows: (1) Student-athletes may play as a guest of a member until October 1; (2) Student-athletes who are members of the championship site course may play at any time. Student-athletes are not permitted to use the practice facilities (defined as inside the gates of the club) at the site of the championship from April 1 until the day of the designated practice round. Violation of this policy will result in the following penalties: (First Offense) forfeiture of practice round for that individual; (Second Offense) two-stroke penalty assessed to that individual during opening round of the championship; (Third Violation) disqualification of that individual from the championship. Rules Committee: The Rules Committee is comprised of the Tournament Director, host Golf Professional and the Rules Officials whose duties include insuring that USGA rules are followed, making recommendations for a local rules sheet for all participants, and being available on the course at all times during competition for special rulings. Starting Times: Starting times may be found in the Appendix. A split tee start will be utilized for stroke play competition. The Coaches Committee, the tournament director, head professional and rules officials will determine any change in starting times. Schedule: The schedule on the day of competition can be found in the Schedule of Events. Seeding: Seeding for the practice round and first round will be determined by the final regular season Golfstat rankings. Student-Athlete Gifts: The SEC will host a gift suite for eligible participating student-athletes in the Corn Barn on Tuesday, April 24. All eligible student-athletes traveling to the tournament will receive a commemorative gift from the SEC. Each student-athlete will select one gift from the options provided through Goldner Associates that will be shipped directly to the institution. Specific gift suite visit times will coincide with each institution s practice time. Coaches will be responsible for validating the studentathlete eligibility list. If a student-athlete is unable to select her gift at the Championship, a secure website will be available to make selections online. Goldner Associates will provide further information to ensure each studentathlete s selection is processed. In the event no selection is made by the provided deadline, a gift preselected by the SEC will be provided to the student-athlete. Each team s order will be shipped to the athletic department. (NOTE: Additional gifts purchased by the institution may be at a higher cost than that made available to the SEC.) If you have any questions or to order additional student-athlete gifts, please contact Judy Matheny at Goldner and Associates via email at JMatheny@goldnerassociates.com or by phone at (615) 250-8249. 4

Squad Size: The SEC Championship squad size is 6. Television Broadcast: Sunday s Championship match will broadcast live on the SEC Network. Tiebreaker Policy: Following 54 holes of stroke play competition, the top eight teams will advance for match play competition. The individual champion and individual runner-up will be determined following 54 holes of stroke play. Ties will be broken to determine the eight teams advancing to match play as well as first place for the individual champion based on the playoff scenarios outlined below. The Rules Committee, in consultation with the Tournament Director, Coaches Committee and the Golf Club, will determine the schedule and holes for playoffs. Individual All players tied for the individual championship will draw numbers to determine the order of teeing off. Only first place will be determined. If weather and/or daylight does not allow for an individual playoff, the tied participants will be deemed co-champions. The Rules Committee, in consultation with the Tournament Director, Coaches Committee and the Golf Club, will determine the schedule and holes for such playoff. *If a player is involved in a playoff for both the individual title as well as team, the team playoff will take precedent. Teams Team ties for the eighth position following 54 holes of stroke play shall be broken by a suddendeath playoff counting the low four scores relative to par on each hole. Play shall continue with new scoring on each successive hole until a winner is determined. The Rules Committee, in consultation with the Tournament Director, Coaches Committee and Golf Club, will determine the holes for play. If a playoff involves more than two teams, a shotgun format shall be used. Once the shotgun sudden-death format is started, that format shall be used until a winner is determined. Sudden-Death Playoff Procedures Teams will draw for positions. For a two-team playoff, the winner of the draw shall have the option of the A or B positions set forth below. For a playoff involving more than two teams, the teams shall assume the drawn letter position (A, B, C, etc.) set forth below. TWO TEAMS (A & B; TEE OFF ALTERNATELY) #5A #5B #4A #4B #3A playoff hole 1 #3B #2A #2B #1A #1B playoff hole 1 SHOTGUN FORMAT THREE TEAMS #5A #5B #5C playoff hole 5 #4A #4B #4C playoff hole 4 #3A #3B #3C playoff hole 3 #2A #2B #2C playoff hole 2 #1A #1B #1C playoff hole 1 FOUR TEAMS #5A #5B #5C #5D playoff hole 5 #4A #4B #4C #4D playoff hole 4 #3A #3B #3C #3D playoff hole 3 #2A #2B #2C #2D playoff hole 2 #1A #1B #1C #1D playoff hole 1 5

The format in pairings for a playoff of six teams or more shall be consistent with the foregoing format as determined by the coaches committee. NON-SUDDEN-DEATH TIEBREAKING PROCEDURE For the purposes of ranking teams for pairings, as well as situations in which a sudden-death playoff cannot be completed, the following system shall be used to break ties, except as provided elsewhere when ties need not be broken at the championships: Teams 1. Cumulative total of the non-counting scores. 2. Highest cumulative individual total. 3. Second-highest cumulative individual total. 4. Third-highest cumulative individual total. 5. Fourth-highest cumulative individual total. 6. Fifth-highest cumulative individual total. 7. Committee decision. Individuals 1. That round s score. 2. Score from previous round(s). 3. Coin toss. When a tie exists within a team, the individual with the lowest team position will be given the later tee time. The foregoing procedure also will be used if a cut becomes necessary at any time after the completion of the second round of play at the championships. Tobacco-Related Products: The use of tobacco products by players, coaches, support personnel (i.e., managers and trainers) and staff during practice, conference competition and conference championships (including banquets, press conferences, post-game interviews, and competition grounds) is prohibited. This prohibition shall be applicable to all activities at the athletic competition and practice, including media areas and locker rooms. Tournament Headquarters: The Tournament Headquarters will be located in The Corn Barn. Transporting Players: For the exclusive purpose of transporting players for rulings and lost ball situations, coaches will have the same status as the Tournament Rules Committee and will not be required to request specific authorization. To clarify, the intent is for players to walk the course (except or the day on which 36 holes of stroke play are being played, in which case players will ride). Therefore, coaches should only transport players over distances previously walked where a player is required to backtrack on the course to comply with the Rules. 6
