Special Events are very popular and fill up fast. There will be a maximum of 128 players in each event, except the Lou Luketetich Founders’ Day event which will remain a max of 144 players. Signups are time stamped and the first 128 or 144 players will be placed on the Confirmed Lists. Players that pay after the max number has been reached will be placed on a Wait List in time stamp order. Players on the Wait Lists will be moved up to the Confirmed Lists as cancellations are received.
