Regional Qualifying Events A total of five (5) positions will be awarded at each Regional Qualifier. The top five (5) overall scores will earn an invitation to compete. Other divisions may be eligible to qualify if they are competing during identical days and course layouts as competitors in the Open Division. This is to be determined by each tournament director at his or her respective qualifying event. Any player finishing in the top five (5) who has qualified at an earlier event, or who has received an exemption or special invitation, will be excluded. Players shooting the next lowest score will become eligible. In case of a tie for the final position, the tournament director may: 1) hold a sudden death playoff to determine the winner, 2) award the spot to the player with the lowest final round score, or 3) award the spot to the player with the highest (current) PDGA Player Rating. Each position must be verified by the tournament director immediately following the event. A player may only qualify once via Regional Qualifying events. Players earning eligibility at Regional Qualifiers have 30 days to submit an application for entry along with full payment to guarantee their position in the field. This time period begins immediately following the completion of each event. Any player missing their deadline for entry automatically forfeits eligibility and may not re-qualify at Regional or Global Qualifying events.

  • At Orgatec 2016 Alexander Girard, Shown And
    10.31.16 GIVING VOICE TO THOSE WHO CREATE WORKPLACE DESIGN & FURNISHINGS At Orgatec 2016 The conventional wisdom as to why Orgatec, held each October in Cologne, Germany, is important for North Americans to attend has always been something like, “We go to Orgatec to see the trends in Europe because we know we’ll be seeing those things here in a few years.” As with much conventional wisdom, it no longer applies. There have been and still are significant cultural differences between the way we work on this side of the Atlantic and that side. But this year at Orgatec, there was significant evidence that the trends are now starting over here and migrating that way. FULL STORY ON PAGE 3… Alexander Girard, Shown and Documented In the middle decades of the 20th Century, Modern design was in danger of becoming too austere, too dominated by the expression of structure and rugged materials. Alexander Girard, in his wide-ranging design accomplishments, made sure that visual stimulation beyond the dictates of functionalism – bright colors, ornamental patterns, expressions of whimsy – could figure significantly in Modernist environments. His extensive accomplishments are now the subject of an exhibition at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany, and an accompanying catalogue, both entitled “Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe.” FULL STORY ON PAGE 17… IIDANY 2016 Color Invasion: Carnevale di Venezia While the annual IIDANY Color Invasion is mostly a party, at its heart it is a fundraising celebration of creativity, inclusiveness and charity.
