4.2 The Tournament Committee has the discretion to change the format of team distribution in the best interest of the Tournament.
The Tournament Committee will not entertain any request for tee times or playing dates.
A player is late to tee if he/she is not on the tee, ready to play, when the starter calls the first player in his/her flight to tee. The concerned player will have no score in that hole, but will be allowed to join his/her group on the next hole.
To promote faster play, a player who no longer has any chance to score a point on a hole must discontinue play of that hole. Any violation of this rule will merit a 2-point deduction on the team score for every infraction.
8.1 Each player will be assigned a marker in the same flight to record his/her score. It is highly recommended for the marker to verify with the player he/she is scoring the player’s score after each and every hole.
8.2 The marker shall record the GROSS SCORE of the player and mark the pick-ups with an “X”. If a score of more than double bogey is recorded on a player’s scorecard his team will merit a 2-point deduction for every infraction.
8.3 A player should immediately retrieve his/her scorecard from the marker immediately after leaving the putting green of their last hole; check his/her scorecard and make sure that the scores are legibly written; settle any doubts with the marker and/or the Tournament Committee before signing the scorecard; ensure that the marker has signed his/her scorecard and submit the scorecard to the Tournament Committee before any member of any flight following them has submitted their scorecards, or within fifteen (15) minutes of holing out if they are the last flight in the morning or afternoon set.
8.4 Scores not legibly written will be interpreted by the Tournament Committee at its sole discretion.
Trophies will be awarded to the Champion, First Runner-Up and Second Runner-up of each Division.
Ties in the team competition shall be settled on the basis of: (a) the lowest score of a member in a team on the final day; then by (b) total team points of the last 27 holes, then by (c) the total team points of the first 18 holes, then by (d) the total team points of the last 9 holes, then by (e) drawing of lots.
Multiple winners on a designated prize for a hole will share the prize equally. All applicable taxes shall be shouldered by the winner/s.
The competition shall be deemed closed after the Championship Trophy of the division concerned has been awarded to the winner.
