In order to compete in the Senior Division, men must be at least 55 years old and women must be at least 50 years old. The 100-team field will be selected as follows (if qualified applicant received by deadline):  (A) Past Husband-Wife champions since 2000; (B) Through all qualified entrants received. Once the field reaches 100 teams, all others will be put on a waiting list in order received and will be added should a team withdraw.  If total number of entries does not exceed 100 teams, all teams meeting entrance requirement will be accepted.  Teams will compete at gross and the championship will be pre-flighted based on combined team index.  Highest index will be adjusted downward so there is not more than a 30-stroke differential.
