PLAYER OF THE YEAR POINTS EXPLAINED

The following divisions will earn points throughout the entire year for the NTPGA Junior Golf Foundation Player of the Year:

• All East Texas Medalist divisions
• All West Texas Medalist divisions
• Metro Prep ages 7-11 only
• All Metro Medalist divisions
• All Metro Masters divisions

Please note, any points earned within an age division will stay in that age division for the entire year, and any points earned within a Chapter will stay in that Chapter for the entire year. Points WILL NOT carry over from one division or Chapter to the next.

6/12 Divisor
The Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation employs a weighted points system to determine the Player of the Year. The method is commonly referred to as the 6/12 divisor and it works by dividing the total number of points earned by the number of tournaments played with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12.

What this means is that if a player has played 6 or fewer tournaments, their point total will be divided by 6. For example a player earned 300 points through the first 5 events, that player’s points will equal 50.0 (300 points divided by 6 events).

When the player plays a number of tournaments between 6 and 12, their total points will be divided by the actual number of events played. E.g. Player A has earned 640 points over 8 events, their point total will be 80.0 (640 points divided by 8 events).

Finally when a player plays in at least 12 events, their point total will always be divided by 12 regardless of the number of events in which the player has played.

Due to the limited number of events on the East Chapter schedule and the Masters Tour, the Foundation will employ the same system using a 4/8 divisor to calculate points.
