Play will begin on holes 1 and 11 for each round of the tournament on the Outlaw course. There will be morning and afternoon waves for Rounds 1 and 2. Groups for these rounds starting early from hole 1 on the first day in the morning wave will start later from hole 11 in the afternoon wave on the next day, and vice-versa. Round 3 and 4 will continue in a morning wave only. The field will be split equally with the leaders starting last on the first hole and the highest scores starting first on the tenth hole. The women and men will be split between the nines with the leaders starting last on their respective nine. During the tournament, players will be provided with a breakfast from 6:30 am to 9:00 am. and a lunch from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm only in the Outlaw Clubhouse. Players must start at the times and in the order arranged by the SWGA Rules Committee.
