• Players will receive 90% of their course handicap, with handicaps played off the lowest handicap in the foursome for each round.

• The team that wins the hole earns 1 point. If the hole is tied, each team earns ½ point.

Tournament Rules

• USGA Rules for match play apply to all rounds.
• There are a number of scenarios in case of rain.
  • If the match has not started, the four individuals can cancel play, but are responsible for setting a new day and completing play.  One team must give the other team 3 days for which to chose,
  • If nine holes are completed, the second nine must be scheduled and completed.
  • If more than 14 holes have been completed, the teams may chose to split the remaining points, or reschedule to play the remaining holes.  This can be difficult, as you’d have to play at an odd time, such as late evening to play the remaining holes.
• Matches must be played.  If the teams can not agree to a date and time for all four members, one of the teams may have to play as a single instead of with their partner.
