3. Matchplay Knockout Format and Rules
The Committee organises the Competition - which is only open to Members - each year.
Draws are made at each phase of the competition to determine the matches.
Players use their latest handicaps as published on the website on the day of the match.
The lowest handicap player reverts to scratch and gives their opponent 3/4 of the differential between their handicaps in shots - with the calculation being done on the Competitors' then current Playing Handicaps for the course actually being played.
The winner is the player who wins by 1 or more holes over 18 holes.
Drawn matches should be replayed unless another format is agreed by the players.
Should a player not be able to play by the cut off period the other player will be the default winner.
Players are responsible for organising their own matches, and the loser of each match should send the result to the Secretary by email.
Preliminary & 1st Round matches should be completed by the end of May.
Quarter-Final matches should be played by the end of July and Semi-Final matches by the end of August.
The Final is to be played in September prior to the End of Season Awards Dinner.
