The format is very similar to the OWGR. Eligible tournaments from all local Tampa golf tours (FSGA, Golfweek Tampa, Golfweek North Central FL, US Am Tour, Nature Coast Golf Tour, Nature Coast Golf League, Mediocre Golfers Association (Pinellas, Spring Hill, Ybor, Tampa), TheGrint, Gaspar Golf, Average Joe's (Polk County, Suncoast, Nature Coast), WAGC and Pin High), championships and competitions around the Tampa Bay area are included in the Tampa Amateur Golf Ranking. Consideration will be given to non-tour events if competitions are played regularly and consist of 18 holes.
Any player competing in Eligible Tournaments (individual elements only) and playing the same Measured Course who completes the relevant Eligible Tournament (or, where the Eligible Tournament has more than one cut, makes the primary cut) will receive Ranking Points subject to their respective finishing position. Ranking Points are derived from each Eligible Tournament's Field Rating.
The TAGR System is run over rolling Ranking Periods. Ranking Points are maintained at full value for a 6-week period from the relevant Ranking Date on which they were awarded to place additional emphasis on recent performances. Ranking Points are then reduced in equal decrements for the remaining 46 weeks of the relevant Ranking Period. Only completed 18-holes events are counted. If a tournament was cut short by rain, that event is not counted.
Field Rating
Every player in the Tournament Field contributes Performance Points. The Field Rating for each Eligible Tournament is determined by the sum of Performance Points for all players in the Tournament Field. The number of Performance Points for each player is determined by their place of finish in weekly tournaments and is the average of the # of players they beat in the tournaments they played against a divisor of 4. For example, Player A has played 13 tournaments where they have beaten a total of 737 players. The average is 56.69231 which is divided by 4 to give a total of 14.17301 performance points they bring to a tournament's field rating. Player B has played 30 tournaments and has beaten a total of 185 players, playing mostly smaller events. Player B's average is 6.16667 divided by 4 to get 1.54167 performance points. Larger tournament fields will provide higher field ratings and larger ranking points based on place of finish. For any player who has played three tournaments or less, that player brings only 0.01000 performance points until getting 100% in their 4th event.
Ranking Points Breakdown
The Ranking Points Breakdown is derived from each Eligible Tournament's Field Rating. Ranking Points are awarded to all players in the Tournament Field who make the cut (Top 100). To tie into the OWGR, a player that wins a second tournament during the season will receive a 60% points bonus. A 3rd win or more will earn that player a 70% bonus. Tournaments with more than 30 players will earn the winner just over 17% of the available points. For fields of 30 or less, the winner will receive just over 20% of the available points.
There is a minimum divisor of 20 Eligible Tournaments over the Ranking Period, with no more than the most recent 40 Eligible Tournaments that the player concerned has played in during the relevant Ranking Period counting towards a player's position in the Tampa Amateur Golf Ranking.
Rankings Update
The rankings formula was updated November 9 to more closely relate to the actual OWGR formula.
Only tournaments played in the greater Tampa area as part of a Tampa tour schedule are counted. National events played by a tour outside the Tampa area are not counted. Players who play in these events from Tampa tours will not have those rounds counted towards their ranking. Any national tournaments played in the Tampa area will count towards the rankings.
Only individual stroke-play tournaments are counted. No scrambles or team events are included in the rankings. Tournaments can be gross, net or quota formats. Flights are not recognized. Players are all grouped together and listed by finishing score as a total group since not all tournaments are flighted events. If multiple players tie for the win and a single winner is not recognized, the tiebreaker for FLAGR purposes is the USGA method of final 9, 6, 3, 1 until a winner is determined. If that data is not available, the player with the lowest gross score wins (in net/quota formats). If that is not available, the player listed first on the results will be declared the winner.
