4 Player / 16 Game Format
Great Plains (Reverse Bonus) Handicap Open & Womens Division Each player in the tournament will be assigned a rating number based on G P & Midwest Performance & operator evaluation. Each player that finished on a 1st or 2nd Place Team that is rated as a 0 for the next year would be adjusted to (-1), a 2 adjusted to 1, a 5 adjusted to 4 and so on. If they finish in the money they will keep that (Reverse Bonus) point. If they finish 1st or 2nd Place the following year a 0 would be adjusted to (-2), a 2 would go to 0, a 5 to 3 and so on. Each consecutive year they play in the finals they will have a (Reverse Bonus) point added to their assigned rating. The only way to lose the (Reverse Bonus) Points built up is to finish out of the money. At that point a player would lose 1 (Reverse Bonus) Point / Year until he / she gets back to their actual assigned rating.
