Ladies Team Match Play Rules

 

Format

 

• Two-person teams will randomly be placed into a bracket and compete against each other in match play format with handicaps.
• The winning team will advance to the next round; the losing player is eliminated from the competition

 

Scheduling of Matches

 

• Players are expected to contact their opponents at the earliest opportunity to schedule matches and provide multiple dates to play their match,

 

Tees

 

• Individual players may choose to play the Red, Red/Green (hybrid), or Green tees.

 

Handicaps

 

• Players will receive 90% of their handicaps from the tees they are playing (as per the handicap allowance from the World Handicap System).
• Handicaps will then be adjusted within the group to account for the difference in difficulty
• The lowest handicap player in the group will receive 0 handicap strokes
• The other players will receive the difference between their adjusted handicap and the lowest handicap player in the group
• Strokes will be taken on holes based on the handicap rating of each hole and indicated on the scorecard

 

Winner

 

A team will be declared the winner of the match by:

• The team leads their opponent by more holes than remain to be played
• The opponents concede the match, or
• The opponent is disqualified

 

In the case where a match is tied after 18 holes, a sudden-death playoff, to be played on the 1st hole (or the first hole played that day on a shotgun start), will determine the winner.  If still tied after the first playoff hole, the playoff will continue to the next hole on the golf course until a winner has been determined.

 

 

Deadlines

 

• All matches must be played by the deadline date.
