Field Set For 2012 Firecracker Open

Note: Payment deadline for all players in the 2012 Firecracker Open is Friday, June 22nd at 6:00 PM.

In 2011, the format for the Firecracker Open was altered to improve the pace of play and the quality of the Championship flight.  The size of the field was reduced and players were grouped in threesomes spaced at ten minute intervals.  The changes resulted in four to four hour and fifteen minute rounds on all three days of the competition and was a hit with the players and tournament sponsors.  In addition, the scoring quality of the field was improved by implementing qualification requirements.   

To play in the championship flight, a player must be in the exempt category or must qualify for the championship flight.   In 2011, exempt players in the championship flight included past champions of the Firecracker Open, the top 30 players from the previous year's Firecracker Open and the top 20 from the previous year's Men's City Championship.  Some players were qualified in more than one category. 

In 2012,  in addition to the aformentioned exempt categories,  the winners of the Spring Mid-Amateur Championship, both players from the winner of the Spring Lions Partnership, and the winner Chester Cup, the Horseshoe Bay Invitational, and the Hill Country Amateur at Crystal Falls were added to the exempt category for the championship flight.  All other players had to qualify.  There were two qualifying opportunities and the results of those qualifiers appear at the end of this post.  

In addition to the championship flight, some spots were set aside for the non-championship flights Those were filled on a first-come first-served basis to complete the field for the 2012 Firecracker Open.  The complete list of entries as of today appear below.  Players must complete their registration by making payment prior to the payment deadline.
