The FJT will schedule Q-Series events if and when they feel the need is there.

The FJT is awarding significantly more exemptions to the State Boys Qualifiers and US Junior Qualifiers (held in FL).
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Qualifying Series (Q-Series) gives newer members and non-exempt players a chance to earn FJT exemptions while competing in a high quality, national ranked event (Jr. Golf Scoreboard). Q-Series events are open to all current FJT members who do not hold a current FJT exemption as of the first day of the Q-Series tournament (can't tee off with an unused FJT exemption, see exception below). Each event will be conducted over 36-holes and in the same professional manner as all FJT tournaments. The field will consist of a maximum of 84 players and include both boys and girls (in a ratio similar to the Tour's membership). Majority of the Q-Series events are for the older age division (16-18) as this division has the most difficulty gaining entry into regular Tour events.

Earning an exemption after being accepted into a Q-Series: With the growing number of tournaments during the FJT season it is possible for a player to earn an exemption or have an exemption reinstated after the player was accepted into a Qualifying Series event. If a player earns an exemption or has one reinstated more than one week before a Q-Series tournament the player will be withdrawn from the Q-Series and be given a 100% refund. If a player earns an exemption or has one reinstate less than one week before a Q-Series tournament the player will be allowed to play in the event.

We appreciate your patience and support while we continue to grow and adjust our policies to meet the needs of the great junior golfers of the FJT.

Qualifying Series events will be conducted exactly like regular FJT events with some slight modifications:

• FJT Exemptions will be awarded to the top 15 and ties in the boys division and top 3 and ties in the girls division.
  • Boys
    Top 3 finishers and ties earn 2 FJT exemptions
    Top 15 finishers and ties earn 1 FJT exemption.
  • Girls
    Top 3 finishers and ties earn 1 FJT exemption.

  (FJT Exemptions awarded are subject to change based on field size.)
   

• FJT Points will be awarded, but the point structure is 50% less than regular events (Winner earns 500, Second gets 350...)
   
• Crystal trophies will be awarded to the top 3 and ties.

To reduce the demands on families, the first round will typically be conducted on Saturday beginning in the late morning or shortly after noon.  The final round will start first thing Sunday morning.  Many families will be able to drive to the host site by leaving home early Saturday morning, eliminating the need for a Friday night stay-over.
