Participants

The Championship is open to Mid-Amateur amateur players who turn 25 or older in 2026, hold a valid federation licence from the Canary Islands territorial federation, are not excluded by sanction and have an exact handicap of 26.4 or lower (men).

The field is limited to 72 players: the 72 players registered on time with the best exact handicap in the RFEG database. In the event of a tie for place 72 on exact handicap, the player who registered first will take part.

Entry fee

  • Championship entry (buggy included): €125, paid at the time of registration via the website.
  • Official practice round: €65, shared buggy included.

Admitted players may practise on 16 October, subject to booking a tee time and availability, in accordance with Golf del Sur booking rules.

Subsidies: The Royal Canary Islands Golf Federation will subsidise players from this territory in accordance with circular No. 114/2025 “Amateur Committee Subsidies”, as set out for two-round Regional Circuit events.

Withdrawals

  • Registered players who cannot attend must withdraw before registration closes and will receive a 100% refund.
  • Players who withdraw after registration has closed must withdraw and send supporting documentation before the start of the competition; the committee will assess a 100% refund.
  • Players who do not show up at their tee time must send supporting documentation before the first Monday after the event; the committee will assess whether the reason is justified. If so, 95% of the entry fee will be refunded, with the remaining 5% retained for platform management costs.

In cases of force majeure that prevent notice within these deadlines, the player must send documentation to the committee within a non-extendable period of 7 calendar days after the event for a decision.

Only force majeure documentation will be accepted, and these are the only grounds for a refund of the entry fee.

Documentation must be sent within the deadlines to torneos@federacioncanariagolf.com

Waiting list

Withdrawals after publication of the final list of admitted players will be filled from the waiting list until Thursday 15 October, when the final list is published.

Places freed by withdrawals notified after the final list has been published will not be filled.

Ties

In the event of a tie for first place in the overall Scratch classification, a sudden-death play-off will be played, hole by hole.

All other places will be shared; only for prize-winning places will ties be broken using the best last 18, 27, 36, 45, 48, 51, 52 and 53 holes. If the tie persists, it will be decided by lot.
