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.
