Official Shampion Rules
Play them. Don't argue them.
The rules below are the current, binding, in-force ruleset. A printed and bound copy is planned for 2027. Until then, this is the reference of record.

2027 Rules Under Review
Coming soon,
actually printed.
The following are proposed for 2027 based on captain feedback, Ronnie's detailed email, and Mark's pairings math. Final ruleset drops before deposits open.
- 01Mulligans reined in: ~10 total, likely 5 fireballs + 5 tickets / charity-donation mulligans, max 2 per round, none in scramble or shamble.
- 02Handicap window moves off six-month lows to a ~60-day low, locked the first of March.
- 03New Shampions Cup final: regular-season points determine stroke advantages (1st: −12) for a winner-take-all match.
- 04GPT-coordinated pairings so no player faces another more than twice.
- 05Declared tees — play the blues all week.
- 06Actual printed and bound rules doc. Yes, really.
Only 24 seats at the table.
Fortune favors the bold. And the well-connected.
