1. Once invitations are sent, invited players will have 24 hours to register or decline their invitation. After a player declines or no action has been completed in 24 hours, the invited player will lose their spot and the next player from the same division/metro area Points List will be invited. This process will continue until the division is full. If there are no players next on the same list, the spot will revert to the overall division Points List.

2. Players in the top 5% overall of their respective division of the Points List will receive an invitation regardless of the allocated spots per metro area in the division. Meaning if you did not qualify in your metro, players have the opportunity to qualify via overall points for the division. If these spots are not needed, this does not mean the STPGA will invite more players.

3. The STPGA reserves the right to invite players based on the overall division Points List on Friday, July 31st in order to complete the playing field. The field will be considered final as of Friday, July 31st at 12:00 p.m.

4. If at the end of the season a metro area and division does not have a player, the invitation will be redistributed to the overall points list within the respective division outside of the top 5%. If these spots are not accepted, the STPGA will not invite more players.
