CHARLIE CHAPLIN CUP - PLAYER OF THE YEAR
The Charlie Chaplin Cup is a season-long player of the year race designed to find the player of the year. Throughout the year, you will receive points based on both your NET and GROSS finish in your flight. This race culminates in a FedEx Cup style PLAYOFF SYSTEM played in the fall.
Accruing points the entire year will qualify you to get into the President's Cup but the top 16 at the end of the year go into a Player of the Year Tournament to crown the champion!
Who is going to take down the cup?
