So a request for a group with an average of 2.5 points per player will be assigned tee times before a group with an average of 3 points per player. The other consideration is the number of tee times required by the request. If the request is for 16 players, the system must find 4 consecutive times within the time frame the group requests. And the system will go down the course list until it can find 4 slots within that time frame. If you request course priority instead of time priority, the system will keep looking at the preferred course until it finds the right number of consecutive slots.
There are only two types of points. The reservation/play point one receives for making the reservation and playing. The reservation point is awarded even if the course is closed for frost or other problems. The others are the points received for canceling, either before the day of play (1), or on the day of play (2).
I would be interested in where the information on placement points came from.

It is all described here:

I remember reading it when I first started making tee times. It is the placement points that make it difficult to bring a guest to an executive course.
The other item that
may surprise people is the fact that a guest of a priority member has less placement points than a resident member and will go in the queue before the resident member.
This is only for a request to obtain championship course tee times.
To state another way, on a day I cannot play, 3 residents and my guest (priority) would go in front of a group of 4 residents for a tee time request for a championship course.
