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.

(*Bonus points may not apply to handicapped events.)
- ■ 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.
