Initial Rosters
and Team Maintenance
| Each
owner’s roster will consist of
12 golfers including one (1)
Captain and eleven (11)
golfers from three other
Golfer Tiers (see below) as
determined by the Golfer
Tier list. Owners
must at all times during the
season maintain 12 total
golfers and the required
amount of golfers for each of
the five Tiers. The Golfer
Tiers will NOT be updated
during the year, meaning this
list will be in place for the
entire CGFL season. |
| Owners
may select golfers from any
Pro Tour (i.e. PGA, European,
Senior, LPGA, etc.) but note
that the majority of the
league’s events are played are
on the U.S. based PGA
Tour. Owners are permitted
to select the same
golfer(s). Initial
rosters and lineups are due by THURSDAY January
29th, 2026 by 3:00 AM EST. |

|
Weekly Play
(Events 1-29)
| For
each tournament on the schedule,
owners must submit a total of
5 golfers, including one
Captain golfer, one golfer
from Tier 1, one golfer from
Tier 2, and two golfers from
Tier 3.
Owners are
permitted to substitute a
lower-tiered player in
place of a higher-tiered
player (e.g. activate a
Tier 3 in place of a
Captain). However,
it is not permitted to
substitute a lower-tiered
player for a higher-tiered
player (e.g. activate a
Tier 1 in place of a Tier
3). In
short, owners may “bump up” a
player but may not “bump
down”. The owner(s) with
the Top 3 PGA earnings in a
given week will receive
$125.00, $50.00, and $25.00,
respectively. Ties are
allowed and winners will
equally split the
credit. A 30% premium
will be added to the purse for
each of the four “Major”
tournaments. |
| The
week 1 lineup submission will
activate an owner’s initial
golfers. From that point
owners may, on a weekly basis,
activate and deactivate their
golfers as they see fit.
However, any and all changes
must be made by 3 AM on the
day the Tournament,
starts. Once per flight,
a grace period will permitted
as long as all changes are
received prior to the first
tee time of the event.
There will be NO exceptions
made for lineups submissions
to that do not conform to this
rule. If no lineup changes are
submitted, active golfers will
remain active regardless of
their participation in that
week’s event. |
| If an
owner does not have five
players participating in the
tournament scheduled for that
week or cannot legally submit
a 5 player lineup, he/she may
choose to (1) make a
transaction (add/drop), (2)
submit a lineup of less than 5
players, or (3) submit a 5
player lineup that includes a
player not scheduled to play
in hopes that the golfer gains
entry into the field at the
last minute. |

CGFL
Championship (Event 30)
The top
30 earners through the final
regular season tournament
qualify for the CGFL
Championship. Prior to
the Tour Championship, each
owner will be randomly
assigned a golfer that has
qualified for to play in that
tournament. If your
golfer wins the TOUR
championship, you win $200,
2nd place wins $75 and 3rd
place gets $25. In the
event less than 30 golfers
enter the tour championship,
the number of qualifying CGFL
owners will be adjusted
accordingly.

Transactions
(add/drops)
| Owners
may add/drop players
throughout the season, but
must always maintain a 12 man
roster. Transactions will be
allowed throughout the season
but teams are limited to a maximum of two (2)
transactions per week,
and a maximum
of thirty (30) per season
(or an average of 0.97 per
week). |
| It is
again worth noting that
transactions WILL NOT be
allowed unless they are
prepaid. The transaction
fee schedule is as follows. |
| Captain
Add/Drop: |
$12.00
|
| Tier
1 Add/Drop: |
$10.00
|
| Tier
2 Add/Drop: |
$8.00
|
| Tier

$6.00
|
|
| Transaction
requests not received by
the deadline described
above (based on email
timestamp) will not be
effective until the
following week.
The League Office will deny
any transactions deemed to be
outside the scope of the
rules. If denied after a
tournament has already begun,
the owner’s roster will remain
as it was prior to the
transaction request, and the
golfer previously active for
that particular tier will
remain as such. |

addition to the aforementioned
Weekly Payouts, and CGFL

League Office
| The
league was organized and is
ultimately ruled by the
Commissioner, Bill Roberts (commish@cincygfl.com) and
Webmaster, Ryan Kyte (webmaster@cincygfl.com).
The Webmaster manages the day
to day operations, including
oversight of the league
treasury and website.
Bill and Ryan collectively
constitute the League Office,
which from time to time, will
be called upon to rule any on
lineup disputes, illegal
rosters, rules challenges,
etc. The League Office
has final say on all such
matters. Appeals can be
made and won via a league
majority vote. |
While
the League Office reserves the
right to make “minor”
in-season changes to improve
Weekly Play with the overall
enjoyment level for the owners
in mind, the League Office
will not make “in-season”
major changes to league play
will only be enacted for the
benefit of the league.
