The biggest feature of this tournament is that the competition is divided into three groups based on handicap criteria. According to the official handicap scores from Naver MY Golf, the groups are divided as follows: △ Group A, handicap up to 9.9 △ Group B, handicap 10 to 19.9 △ Group C, handicap 20 and above, and a handicap match ranking is held. Additionally, a combined group stroke match will also be conducted.
Applications can be made through the official Naver Sports blog post titled '2024 Bithumb Handicap Classic Golf Tournament.' Eligibility is limited to Bithumb members born before 2000 who have been issued an official handicap by Naver MY Golf. However, professional organization members, holders of professional licenses, and players from the Korean Mid-Amateur Golf Federation's championship and senior divisions are not allowed to participate.
Participants will be selected through the 'Bithumb Referrer Event.' Selection is based on the number of referees listed on the application form, with participants chosen per handicap group accordingly. The final selected participants will be individually notified on November 13. The top three players in the combined stroke and each group, as well as one male and one female player per group for longest drive and nearest to the pin, will receive a total prize and awards amounting to 30 million KRW. Participants who record a hole-in-one will be awarded a special prize of 100 million KRW.
