Members are awarded points depending on how they finish in each tournament. The member who earns the most points in the time frame specified yearly will be the OSWGA Player of the Year and will be recognized, along with the other top players at the annual banquet.
Points may be awarded depending on the prize structure of each tournament as listed below. Most tournaments include more than one flight. When this occurs, each flight will be awarded points, for gross and net, in the same manner. Should there be ties by two or more teams, points will be awarded equally to each team, as if each team was in sole possession of that position. This contrasts with the calculation for prize purposes, which will be decided by matching cards rules otherwise described in the handbook.
To be eligible for points each year, participants must be OSWGA members in good standing as of March 15 of that given year.
Point totals end with the tournament on September 17, 2025. Points after September 17th are NOT carried over to the next year.
