Amateur Champions are exempt for 25 years after they win the tournament.
Each championship has a maximum capacity. If more players register than available spots, the FSGA reserves the right to transfer the player to another site. In the event of a cancellation, the FSGA will refund the player a portion of the entry fee, based on the number of registrants. For players who submit their entries late, a $10 late entry fee will apply and they will be placed on an alternates list.
Scores will be posted to GHIN and adjusted for course rating, slope, and difficulty. Scores posted for a foursome or modified alternate-shot event will not be posted. Players who do not play in foursomes, modified alternate-shot, scrambles, or foursomes will not post their scores. FSGA will post scores using the adjusted course rating and slope.

Order of Merit Points awarded to players
The Order of Merit is a system of ranking golf players based on performance on the US Amateur Tour. It awards points to players based on their placing within their respective flight. The higher your order of merit, the better your chances are of qualifying for the National Championship. Players may compete in as many events as they like, but only the top eight finishers from each flight earn Order of Merit Points.
There are several categories in the Order of Merit. The most common are the player’s current ranking and the most recent ranking. A player can accumulate up to 750 points per year for the US Amateur Golf Tournament. Points are awarded based on their position in the tournament. Players who earn points during the season can move up in the Order of Merit. In addition, players can gain a maximum of 450 points by winning a US Amateur Golf Tournament.
In addition to the World Amateur Golf Ranking, the US Amateur Golf Tournament is an invitational event for players who have achieved the highest number of Order of Merit points. However, the players based on their point total in the Official World Golf Ranking system are exempt from qualifying for the US Amateur Golf Tournament. Only the top 60 players in the Official World Golf Rankings are invited to the tournament, and players who have finished in the top six in the US Open European Qualifying Series are also given automatic exemptions.
