Several State Day events are extremely popular and fill so quickly they are difficult to register for. In 2025, registration for Dorset, Manchester, Woodstock, and Vermont National will be done by lottery. All registrants will be placed on the pending registration list until the drawing. Lottery winners will be moved from pending status to the tournament roster and then paired by the registrants’ preferred time slot (1, 2, or 3). You are not charged a registration fee unless/until you are moved from pending registration to the tournament roster.
Only for the lottery events: Players can register as singles, twosomes or foursomes. Threesomes will be unable to register. Singles will be paired with other singles or will fill in for any cancellations. When registering please list players you would like to play with along with your preferred tee time. This does not guarantee your pairing or tee time, but it will give the Admin the information needed to match those who wish to play together.
Registration for lottery events:
Registration for the lotteries will open at 7:00 a.m. 3 Fridays prior to the event and will close at 7:00 a.m. 6 days later, 2 Thursdays before the event. After registration closes, the lottery will be run and you will be notified of your status later that day. Lottery winners will be moved to the event roster, and your credit card will be charged. Any other events that week will open for registration on the next day, the Friday 2 weeks before the event. If you are not selected in the lottery, you can try to register for another event.
Players not selected in the immediate draw will be kept on the pending registration list and will be automatically confirmed if a slot becomes available. If you do not wish to be kept on the pending registration list, notify vswgaquestions@gmail.com to be removed. If the maximum number of players is not reached, players may be able to change their tee time.
