The Rules of Golf as approved by the R&A Rules Limited, and the Local Rules of the Host Club will govern play.

The tournament shall be a 36-hole Modified Stableford competition.
The committee will compute the following Stableford points corresponding to the player’s net score.
| For one over par | 1 point |
| For par | 2 points |
| For one under par | 3 points |
| For two under par | 4 points |
| For three under par | 5 points |
Add one more point for a gross Hole-in-One or gross Double Eagle. Aggregate net points of team players to count.
To ensure a reasonable pace of play of 5 hours per round, the tournament committee asks that all participants adhere to the ff. rules. Marshals will be roaming the course to ensure that all players keep up with the pace of play.
Players will use their official WHS handicap indexes as of November 1. Their WHS ID must be submitted when registering.
Guests without WHS handicaps may submit handicap certifications from their home clubs or duly-recognized golf associations, but the handicaps will be deducted by 25%. The maximum handicap for guests without WHS handicaps will be 27, while the maximum for guests with WHS or PGRS handicaps is 36. The Handicap Committee may assign, adjust, or reject handicaps of participants as it deems proper. Handicap certificates must be submitted to NOGCC (1) week prior to scheduled play.
