1.         The interclub matches will be played in divisions with the Management Committee determining the number of divisions dependent on number of teams entered.

2.         Positioning in divisions will be determined by the previous year’s Golf View League result.

 10.       If, after calculating match points, a tie occurs either for a trophy, promotion or relegation, game points (including half matches) will count. If at this stage there is still a tie then the team with the highest number of game wins (excluding half matches) shall win. If still a tie it shall be resolved by averaging the number of holes played for winning matches (excluding conceded matches) and the team with the lowest average shall be the winner.

 In the event of further equality the tied teams will enter into a play off on a home and away basis following conditions in rule 8 above. If still tied after the play off, then one nominated player from each team will play sudden death on a scratch basis immediately following the second match.

 11.       Before play, team captains should exchange their team card. Players must play in strict handicap order.

 12.       The visiting team shall have the honour on the first tee.

 13.       If a club cannot raise a full team, the match should go ahead with the players available. The remaining players should be entered in handicap order and the last game is conceded.

 A team may only concede a maximum of 2 games in a match.

 In the event of a team having to concede a full match and if the outcome of the league is already decided, a concession may be allowed at the discretion of the ALCGA organising committee.

If the outcome of the league is not already decided, the conceding team will have all results from their previous matches voided and they will be relegated.

 14.       Normal ALCGA conditions of competition apply.

 15.       Any points in dispute shall be referred to the Management Committee and their decision shall be final.
