The Festival format comprises some 16 teams who usually each bring 6 to 8 players. Teams are divided into 3 groups.
Groups A and B play for the Festival Shield, starting with a round robin. The two leading teams in each group proceed to Finals Day on Sunday.
Group C players are normally 40+, but still competitive. The two leading teams in Group C also proceed to Finals Day.
The success of the Festival owes much every year to the Social Programme, with welcome drinks, two parties and the Gala Dinner.

Sarasota is the gem of the Gulf Coast with wonderful white sandy beaches, fascinating wildlife, numerous golf courses (at very reasonable rates), a paradise for the fisherman (with fishing piers and deep sea fishing) and a range of shopping centres including the lovely St Armands Circle, within walking distance or a short bus or car ride from the host hotel
