The Phoenix Tour is an ongoing promotion where players compete in tournaments all around the Phoenix area and are rated for overall performance during a three month stretch of events.  The winner of a given session will win a cash prize, have his/her name immortally embroidered on the official "Phoenix Tour Champion" jacket, and be given temporary ownership of the jack­­­­­et until another player takes away his/her title. 

It is a "points race" on steroids!

Runs for 3 months at a stretch, with 3 months in between each "tour".  (2 tours per year.)

There are two main prizes for each session - one for the overall champion,  and another for the highest placing rookie†.  Each earns the right to wear a championship jacket (pictured below). In addition, winners' pictures and other memorabilia will be displayed on the wall in the sponsor's locations.

• ■ Some tours may declare a maximum number of scored events which is less than the total number of hosted events. This may be desirable in longer point races as a measure of relief, allowing players to miss (or strategically pass on) one or more events without losing a lot of ground in the race.
• ■ Players will be able to track their standings and statistics on the tour interface in the "Tournaments" section.
• ■ Players who gain multiple entries to an official tour event due to early elimination (e.g., as "x-man") will only receive tour points for the initial entry.
• ■ Scoring tie-breakers (when not otherwise specified per category):
  
  • 1. Higher player rank.
  • 2. Most number of 1st place finishes.
  • 3. Higher score in all non-handicapped events played.
  • 4. Higher average score in all events played.
