The following is an explanation regarding roommates and golf pairings for the Carl Spackler Open. Participant preferences were collected from the option selector in March 2011 and reviewed.

PAIRINGS
The daily golf pairings are not finalized until you have a pairing sheet in your hand. There are rounds of golf on Thursday morning, Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday. All pairings for all rounds are built starting with the rookies and their top preference. The rest of the pairings are based on the thousands of preferences collected and then moved around for pace of play reasons.

Note: Playing on another team inside an eightsome is considered a match in regards to playing preferences.

Pairings for the final round on Sunday are set based on reverse leaderboard order through Round 2. Exactly like the PGA Tour with the exception of Chris Philipsen and Greg Garrett who will play first and score the tournament off the 18th green.

There are no guaranteed pairings for anyone attending with one exception. All rookies will play with their referral at least once.

ROOMS, BEDS, & ROOMMATES
Rookies are assigned to their top preference. All other roommates are paired up using Wednesday night reservations, best interests of the collective group, and suggestions provided by the participants.

There are 30 rooms with two queen beds. There are 10 rooms with one king bed and one sofa bed. There are 10 rooms with one queen bed and one sofa bed. Beds are distributed using roommate selection and golfer signing date.
