FORMAT
Schools will compete in Pool Play for three sessions over the first one-and-a-half days with bracket play beginning Tuesday afternoon and the Final Round on Wednesday morning.

Each team match will consist of five individual matches. All individual matches within the team match will produce a result (3&2, 1 up, halved) and will not be played beyond the 18th hole.

An individual match win awards that team with one point. An individual match that remains tied after 18 holes awards each team with a half point. Once all individual matches are completed within a team match, the team with the greater point total will receive three points while the losing team receives zero points. If the match is tied at the end of all five individual matches (2.5 points to 2.5 points), both teams receive one point.

If there is a tie following Pool Play to advance to the semifinals, a 5-count-5 sudden death playoff will break the tie. A tie in the Semifinals will be broken by hole differential, then higher seed. A tie in the final match results in a 5-count-5 sudden death playoff.

TEAM FIELD
The Cougars are competing in a 15-team field with all Big 12 schools, excluding Arizona, which had a preexisting schedule conflict.

Houston will play as the No. 11 seed in Pool C with No. 3 seed Utah, No. 6 seed BYU and No. 14 seed West Virginia.

Pool A consists of No. 1 Arizona State, No. 8 Iowa State and No. 9 Cincinnati. Pool B holds No. 2 Oklahoma State, No. 7 Kansas, No. 10 Kansas State and No. 15 UCF. Pool D includes No. 4 Texas Tech, No. 5 Colorado, No. 12 TCU and No. 13 Baylor.
