IMGA Policies (updated May 2025)

Weekly Play – Sign up policy May 20,2025

Weekly Event Sign up Policy

A month ago, the IMGA Board announced that we would soon be discontinuing the policy of allowing players to add on to the pairings after the Chelsea sign up is closed for the weekly event.

We voted to implement this change beginning with our May 20th tournament.  At the same time, starting with the May 20th tournament, and all future tournaments, we will change the Chelsea weekly league sign-up deadline from noon on Friday, to noon on Sunday.

In the future, if you call the pro shop and ask to be added on before Sunday noon, you will be asked to sign up through Chelsea. After the noon Sunday cut-off, players will not be able to access Chelsea, and since you won’t be able to add on, you won’t be able to participate in the league event.

Please note the following:

You have two weeks lead time to sign up for league events through Chelsea.  We recommend that you use your phone calendar to remind you every week to sign up for league play.  If you’re on a plane, a ship, or just out of town, you can still access the internet, log into Chelsea and register for league play.

If you need help signing up to play in IMGA events, we have numerous resources available to assist you.

1. There is a help document on the website under Member Information that will walk you through Chelsea Sign up

2. Additional information is also in the Member Handbook and on the website.

3. Doug Stodgel has volunteered to assist/train those who are not familiar with the Chelsea program. Doug can be reached at

No Show Policy  (updated Nov 2021)

Effective immediately, IMGA is adapting a new policy of a one week suspension for No Shows for the league play.   This only affects players who have signed up to play, and who do not show up, and have not called to cancel at least one hour prior to the start time.   Each week along with publishing the list of Chelsea players, we will publish a “Wall of Shame”, for the no shows.   These players will not be allowed to play in the next event.
