2009 Interstate Challenge
The 2009 Interstate Challenge will consist of every event in the Washington & Oregon state series’ plus the Fort Steilacoom Open. Just like in years past, you only need to compete in two events in each state, a total of four events, in order to qualify. If you compete in more than two events in a state, only your two best scores will be used.
Because the Interstate Challenge is being announced late in the season, players have until the Fort Steilacoom Open to sign up and still have all of their completed qualifiying tournaments count towards their score. Usually no tournament will count until payment has been made, 2009 is an exception to this rule. Payment must be made before the first round of the Fort Steilacoom Open in order to have it count.
Any pro or advanced division may form. Each division’s purse is only an accumulation of the entry fees gathered from that division.
