To be eligible to compete in Southern Nevada Golf Association designated events, contestants must:

Hold a Handicap Membership with a club in the SNGA. Contestants must be listed as active service members on the most current SNGA Master Association Listing on the day the tournament entries close.

Entrants must have a current USGA Handicap Index to play in the Net or Senior Net Divisions. If no USGA Handicap Index has been formed, the competitor may play to a 0.0 Handicap Index.
Players may not compete simultaneously in two separate divisions of an event conducted on the same day.

Junior golfers are eligible to play in SNGA Scratch Tournaments provided they have a USGA Handicap Index of 5.0 or less. If a junior competitor is subsequently found to be incapable of competing at this level (in organized tournaments) they will be restricted from further competition. The SNGA Tournament Committee will be the sole judge of the individual's competency.  Junior golfers are eligible to play in SNGA Net Tournaments provided they have a USGA Handicap Index of 25.0 or less.

Players in the Scratch Division are expected to play to a level of competency that is not distractive to other player in the division. A player whose average scores during any event exceed the course rating by 15 strokes per round is subject to suspension from the division unless unusual weather or other conditions contributed to the high scores.
