The season began a little less than three months ago on May 15th, and now teams are punching their ticket for the 2016 City Tour Championship taking place in Atlantic City at Seaview Golf Resort in September. The final weekend marked the last opportunity for teams to climb the rankings and earn a spot in the championship. Here's all the action that went down in each city across the country.
