Note: Slow play disrupts the event schedule. To expedite play, pick up your ball if you are out of the hole. If necessary three long horn blasts will sound after 2 hours and 20 minutes to signal the completion of each match. If the match is not complete, each team will be given ½ point for the remaining holes not completed.

The maximum number of points a team can win in matches #1 - #5 will be 7, and the minimum is 2. In Match #6, all points limitations will be lifted. For handicap posting purposes, please record both players’ scores on each hole of your official scorecard. If you choose to pick up, please record what you most likely would have made with a max net double bogey. (Rule 3.1b)
