Playoff Format

2023 Playoffs sponsored by The Thompson Group

The playoffs and finals are modeled after the PGA FEDEX Cup race.  Members accumulate points throughout the year based on where they finished in each event.  To see the point values available for each event, click here


Qualifying for each playoff round will be as follows:


  1. To qualify for the first round of the playoffs, you must be a member who has played in a minimum of 10 events.
  2. After the first round playoff, the top 70% of the members according to the Montlake points list will qualify for the 2nd round.  So, if 100 members qualified for the playoffs, the top 70 members according to the Montlake points list will qualify for the 2nd round.
  3. After the second round, the top 80% of the members that qualified for the 2nd round will qualify for the 3rd round.  So, if 70 members qualified for round 2, then 70 x 80% = 56 members will qualify for round 3.
  4. After round 3, the top 32 will qualify for The Montlake Financial Cup Finals.
