Format

• Teams are arranged in flights based on combined handicap.

• Use 90% of current USGA Handicaps on the day the match is played.

• Lowest handicap plays at scratch (0); remaining players subtract that handicap from their handicap and use the remaining handicap strokes. See example scorecard posted on the board. Partner with higher handicap is capped at 10 strokes higher than her partner.

• Teams exchange scorecards marked with handicap holes prior to play.

• Better ball of partners, net score, is awarded a point for each hole won.

• If a player cannot complete the matches due to injury or other significant reason, the remaining partner may seek out another partner with a handicap as close as possible to the departing player’s handicap. The Tournament Committee will determine if the replacement player can serve as the substitute.

• If a match can’t be completed due to rain (course deemed unplayable) or darkness, if the match has completed 9 holes, then the score for the front 9 will stand. The players may then reschedule a time to replay the back 9. The card will be restroked for the rescheduled match.

• Highest total points from the matches within each flight will be the winner.

• If total points are tied, the winner will be determined, in this order: head-to-head score, head-to-head score on the most difficult handicap holes starting with #7, #16, #3, etc.
