All competitors are seeded in the single elimination competition ladder by random draw. Competition is played using 100% of tournament handicap differential on the day of competition. There will be one Ladder.  Men and Ladies combined. Men will play from the White Tees, Ladies from the Red Tees.

 

Example:

Two competitors decide to play their match one afternoon. Player “A” has a tournament handicap of 18 and Player “B” a tournament handicap of 10. Player “B” having the lower handicap would play off scratch (0) and Player “A” would play off 100% of the differential or 18-10 = 8 therefore 8 Strokes Player “A” gets 8 strokes these are taken starting at lowest indexed hole as designated on score card.

 

Scheduling

  1. All matches of the competition must be played by the completion play-by dates published in Golf Genius and the RHGC website.
  2. It is the responsibility of both teams/players on the ladder to contact and arrange the match with their competitor for the current round.  
  3. Requests to extend “play by dates” will not be entertained by the Match Play Coordinator.  Regardless of work, health, vacation or any other reason, the player/team that cannot coordinate the scheduling of the match will forfeit and be removed from the competition.  If both players/teams have not completed the scheduled match by the play-by date without any effective communication between both sides, both teams/players will forfeit and be removed from the competition.  Effective communication is communication that is initiated early in the round and not left until the last 2-3 weeks to organize.
  4. The Match Play Coordinator's decision will be considered FINAL on all Scheduling issues.

 

Ineligibility

Match Play competitions are not permitted to be played in Stroke Play events. USGA Rule 33-1 states “that certain special Rules governing stroke play are so substantially different from those governing match play that combining the two forms of play is not practicable and is not permitted. The results of matches played and the scores returned in these circumstances must not be accepted”. Members electing to play their match play competition in a stroke play event will automatically become ineligible to compete for prizes in the stroke play event.

 

Rules

USGA Rule 2 Match Play will define all rules in the Competition. Ties will be settled by as many holes as required for the match to be won.
