CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The 2023 American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) Women's Golf Championship is slated to begin this weekend. This year's championship will be a single, weekend, three-day event that will take place Saturday, October 7 - Monday, October 9 at Ames Golf and Country Club in Ames, Iowa. 18-holes will be played each of the days. All three days will begin at 10:00 a.m. with split tee times being implemented in the final round only.  
  
On the first day of the championship, teams will tee off according to seed, based on averages from its four best 18-hole team scores during the fall. Central College, as the 2022 team champion, receives the top seed in this year's tournament. Players from teams seventh through ninth (Luther, Nebraska Wesleyan, Loras) will tee off in the first wave beginning at 10:00 a.m., followed by players from teams seeded fourth through sixth (Coe, Buena Vista, Simpson) at 10:45 a.m. The final wave will consist of players from the top-three seeded teams (Central, Dubuque, Wartburg), with the first pairing going off at 11:30 a.m. 
  
Pairings for the final two rounds will be based on the team score following the previous round(s). Individuals will also be repositioned within their team based on their accumulating score from prior rounds.  
  
Each school may enter five players for each round with the four best performances each day used to determine the team score. Substitutions are not permitted from the time the tournament begins on Saturday.
