TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS 2024 TOURNAMENT FORMAT & RULES
Stage 1 – Qualifying Strokeplay Stage:
All players will play in an 18-hole individual strokeplay qualifier on a shotgun start at 10.30am.
At the end of the 18-hole qualifier the top 3 scores from each team will be combined to an overall strokeplay score where each team will then be ranked depending on their score.
For teams of 3 players, all scores will count towards the team’s combined overall strokeplay score.
In the event of any ties, the score of the 4th player will then be added and taken into account to determine the seeding. If still tied a “4 way alternate shot” playoff hole will be played between those teams.
In the event that it is a team of 4 vs a team of 3 that is tied, the best player’s score from each team will be compared for ties, if still tied then a “3 way alternate shot” will be played.
The top 8 teams will make it through to the Knockout Matchplay Stage. The bottom 2 teams will play off for 9th and 10th place in a Knockout Matchplay playoff.
A break for lunch will follow the Qualifying Stage.
