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

PAIRINGS
The daily golf pairings are not finalized until 60 minutes prior to each round. There are rounds of golf on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday, Friday morning, Friday afternoon, and Saturday. All pairings for all rounds are built starting with the rookies and their top preference. A mobile scorer per pairing is a second priority. The rest of the pairings are based on the thousands of preferences collected and then moved around for pace of play reasons.

Pairings for the final round on Saturday are set based on reverse leaderboard order through Round 2. Exactly like the PGA Tour with four exceptions. (1) Pairings "can" be adjusted slightly for mobile scoring. (2) Chris Philipsen or Greg Garrett for scoring purposes. (3) The gopher mascot generally plays early. (4) A player out of the tournament who will collect event tee markers.

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 Tuesday night reservations, best interests of the collective group, and suggestions provided by the participants.
