2.6 Boys will play off the WHITE tees and girls will play off the RED tees.
3. TEAM SELECTION
3.1 Teams will consist of squads of up to ten players drawn from players who have participated in qualifying rounds for the Home Nations Championships Finals (including National Finals). See Rule 2.4 above.

4. COMPETITION FORMAT DAYS 2 & 3 – MATCH PLAY
(‘Rubber’ is any two ball between two players: ‘Match’ refers to all eight rubbers between two teams).
4.1 The 4 participating teams will be termed teams A, B, C & D by random draw to be undertaken as teams register prior to their practice rounds.
4.2 In round 1, morning of Day 2, Team A will play against Team B and Team C will play against Team D.
Each match will consist of 8 rubbers which will be played in 4 x 4-Balls. The 4-Balls will alternate on the tee. AvB(i) followed by CvD(i) followed by AvB(ii) and so on.
4.3 In round 2, afternoon of Day 2, the winner of AvB will play against the loser of CvD and the winner of CvD will play against the loser of AvB. Again each match will consist of 8 rubbers which will be played in 4 x 4-Balls. The 4-Balls will alternate on the tee as in the morning round.
In the event of two teams playing a tie in Round 1, for the purposes of determining “who plays who” in Round 2 “a notional winner” shall be determined as follows:-
The winning / losing margin i.e. the number of holes not played in each rubber will be credited or debited to each of the teams, as appropriate.
The team with, in total, more credit than debit holes will proceed as the “winner”. If the teams are still tied a coin will be tossed by the Competition Director between the two team captains.
4.4 In round 3, morning of Day 3, the teams which have not yet played against each other will play against each other. Each match will consist of 8 rubbers which will be played as 8 x 2-Balls. Unlike rounds 1 and 2 (see §4.2 and §4.3), each match will be played in consecutive rubbers, with a gap between to allow the camera team to reset. The order of play for Day 3 will be announced after Day 2 play is completed.
4.5 On Day 2, rubbers shall be played until a result is determined and the players will then stop playing and leave the course. A rubber which is all square after 18 holes will be deemed a draw.
On Day 3, all rubbers will continue to the 18th hole. This will ensure that all players may be filmed by the camera crew and/or interviewed. Additionally if there is a tie between teams when considering the match results, then the scores in all 8 rubbers after 18 holes will be used as a tie break.
4.6 The winning team in each match will be awarded 3 points. If a match is tied, both teams will receive 1 point. The championship league table will be updated on completion of each round
4.7 Ties
If there is a tie in the league table after completion of round 3, then tiebreaks will be applied in the following order until a championship result is reached.
1. Points for Day 3 will be re-allocated according to the results after 18 holes.
2. The differential of total rubbers won and lost in matches played between the tied teams over all 3 rounds will be added together, with the tied team with the greatest differential being the winner.
3. The championship will be deemed a tie.
5. DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES, CADDIES / BAG CARRIERS / TROLLEY PULLERS

8.4 It is a player’s responsibility to report during, or immediately after the round, to the Referee or Championship Director, any “communication” with his or her opponent by a supporter, other than is indicated above as being acceptable.
Any breach of this rule may lead to the application of penalties as indicated in §6.2. The organisers reserve the right to disqualify individuals, or the whole team, for persistent transgression of this rule.
9. BEHAVIOUR
The organisers reserve the right to apply severe future sanctions on any club whose team members behave unacceptably, on or off the course.

If it is not possible to achieve in good time prior to the next round, the result shall be deemed to be a tie, unless §11.2 can be applied (see below).
11.2 If play has to be abandoned during the course of a round, the following procedure will be adopted in order to determine the winning team in each match:
Where less than four rubbers in a match have completed a minimum of six holes at the time of abandonment, the match, will be deemed abandoned and §11.1 shall apply in respect of that match.
Note: The relevant hole, referred to below as the “base” hole(s), will be the last hole completed, prior to the abandonment by players in the last match play groups, as appropriate, at the back of the field, i.e. who teed off last. The base hole must be the sixth or greater.
Where rubbers have not been fully completed when the match is abandoned, the position in each individual rubber, taken at the same “base” hole, will be deemed to be the result. Any rubbers which have not completed six holes will be declared tied, irrespective of the actual position at the abandonment.
Where rubbers have been completed i.e. a winner has been identified in advance of the 18th hole the result of that rubber will stand irrespective of whether some of the rubbers in the match have not been completed and are determined by reference back to the position at the relevant base hole.
The result of the match will be determined in the normal way as though all eight matches have registered “completed rounds”.
