Throughout the year, Senior League members will have the opportunity to earn points for both participation and performance, both in the weekly Thursday games and in three major "League" events. The four members with the greatest number of points as of September 1 are invited to play in the "Elk Cup Play-Off", to be held on September 8th, 18-hole Chicago formate to determine the "Elk Cup Champion".

Disqualifications, No Card, and Did Not Finish are not permitted to obtain points
- Performance Points
- 20 points per player in the field are entered into the "Performance Point Tournament Pool"
- The "Tournament Pool" is divided by the number of flights in the tournament, giving the "Flight Pool"
- The winners of the flight will be distributed the Performance Points for their flight at a pre-determined percentage based on the field and flight size
