2006 WPGA
Tournament Information
February 14, 2006
John Vander Borght, Director Membership Development and Services
The 2006 WPGA
Tournament Schedule is now available online at
http://www.wpga.org. Each tournament
has different entry requirements. Please make sure that you meet the
entry requirements before entering any event. The requirements can be
found on the Tournament Information page for the event and on the
printable entry forms.
There are two
ways to register for events online. The recommended way is to click on
the Register Online link on the right side of our homepage. Once you are
there, log into the Player's Club. You can then register for multiple
events without having to reenter information such as credit-card
numbers. The other way is to click on the Championship Schedule on the
homepage. From there you can click on the individual register buttons to
register for each event in turn.
All entry
forms now REQUIRE that your birthdate be supplied. This is to ensure
that all juniors are identified and Parental Consent Forms are received.
Parental Consent Forms will be required for ALL juniors before their
entry can be processed for ANY event. This form is on the next page and
can also be found on the Tournament Information page for all events for
which juniors are eligible. A parent can sign one form for multiple
events by indicating so on the form. This will remove the requirement
for a form for every event. Paper entry forms for the Junior and the
Boys have a copy of the form, but other paper entry forms do not. Before
any application for entry for a player under 18-years of age can be
processed, the Parental Consent Form MUST be received at our office. You
can mail it to our office at 324 Fourth St, Pittsburgh, PA 15238 or fax
it to 412-826-2183. Invalid birthdates will cause your entry to be
delayed, so please makes sure they are correct.
To change your
birthdate, login to Player's Club and click on the “Update Bio” link.
If you are
entering the West Penn Amateur or West Penn Open, you should check the
list of players who are exempt from qualifying. If you are not on that
list, you must enter at one of the qualifying sites. There are four
qualifying sites for the West Penn Amateur and one for the West Penn
Open.
If you meet
one of the criteria listed and are not on the list, please contact us so
that we can correct it.
If you are
receiving this information via e-mail, it means we have an account
already setup for you. You can access this account using the same
account name and password you used last year. If you do not remember
your password, click on the “Forgot your Password” link below the login
box. If you do not have an account, please e-mail us at
tournamentinfo@wpga.org.
