Players must declare their intention to participate in the Team and / or Singles events before starting their round.
Players participating in the Team and / or Singles events must pay the relevant fees - no exceptions.

Fees shall be paid prior to commencement of play.

A Team is defined as 2, 3 or 4 players.
No gimmes - as per competition rules.
If a ball is lost (not in water) a ball may be dropped as close as possible (by agreement with other Team players) to where the original ball was lost at a cost of a two stroke penalty.
Any player who has previously declared his intention to play in the Team and/or Singles events and who fails to complete the round must declare his Stableford score for the holes played.
A Team score is the average of the Team players' Stableford scores.
If play is abandoned by ALL Teams, all competitions are void and all fees are refunded.
Players arriving late may declare participation in the Singles event, and by agreement with their Team, may also participate in the Team event provided that their Stableford score only counts from the first hole played i.e. they may not play any holes previously missed.
