CONDITIONS OF PLAY
Each team will comprise of four players,
one from each of the following categories: Category One, 5 and under,
Category Two, 6 to 12, Category Three, 13 to 20 and Category Four,
21 to 28.
Matches will be played with full handicap
allowance. Any player who arrives on the first tee with a handicap
higher than the category he represents, will play off the highest
handicap within the category he represents e.g. a player in the
Category One section, whose handicap has gone up to six, must play
off a handicap of 5.
Selection of players must be based on
their current handicap on the day of the tie.
Clubs are not permitted to select players
with a handicap lower than the category they represent e.g. a player
with a current handicap of 12 cannot be selected to represent the
Category Three section 13 to 20.
If on the day of the tie a player's handicap
is lower than the category he represents, the match is considered
void and his opponent wins the tie 10 and 8.
In the event of a two-all tie, holes up
or down will decide. If the Tie remains tied, the result of the
Category One match will decide. If all four matches are square,
then the Category One player's sudden death play off result will
decide the Tie. There will be no replays of matches.
If the tie is still square after the Category
One players have played 18 holes they should continue playing until
a result is achieved. As such, the Category One players should play,
where possible, in the last match of the tie as this avoids the
players having to go back out on to the course.
Results of games are based on normal match
play rules e.g. if a player is 4 holes up with only 3 holes left,
the player wins 4&3. The game is therefore finished on the 15th
green and is not continued through 18 holes.
Clubs progressing to the next round will
be informed of their opponents after each round is completed.
The closing date for each round must be
adhered to, the onus being on the Home Clubs to arrange suitable
dates. Under no circumstance will extensions be allowed. The Home
Club must offer at least one weekend date. The start date for the
next round is the day after the end date of the previous round.
