Men’s President’s Cup Scoring/Seeding Rules

  • Each team must consist of two (2) Region 5 players.
  • To qualify for consideration, each team must compete in two (2) Region 5 President's Cup Qualifier (PCQ) tournaments
  • The top four (4) Region 5  teams with the most points in their best 3 PCQs (including out-of-Region tournaments) will be automatically on the Region 5 President's Cup Team. The “points” will be calculated the same way they are for National Ranking where tournaments are weighted based on the level of competition. 
  • The fifth team will be a Captain's Choice selection regardless of how many teams have met the requirements for qualification.  Also, if any of the top four (4) Region 5 teams loses a player due to injury or some other serious issue, then the Captain is free to choose another player for that particular team instead of simply dropping the healthy player off the list.
  • If there are not four (4) teams that have competed in two (2) Region 5 PCQ tournaments  --  or 3 total PCQ tournaments  --  then the Captain will choose as many teams as needed to complete the five-team roster. Any Region 5 team may be selected regardless of points. This team may also consist of players who do not normally play together.
  • If a team has played only one (1) Region 5 PCQ tournament, they are deemed to not have met the requirements even though they may have played in several non-Region PCQ tournaments.
  • The Captain will be responsible for team order, and points accumulated will not necessarily determine order. For example; A Captain's selection may play anywhere from 1-5.
  • Two players will also be selected by the Captain as Alternates. These alternates will be called upon to fill in for any player or team chosen for the Presidents Cup Team.
  • All other rules regarding President's Cup play are determined by the APTA.
