Scratch KO Rules

8. Surrey Inter-Club Scratch Knockout & The Scratch Plate Knockout

Each Club shall be represented by one team of five players and all matches are played off scratch. There are no age limits for players in this competition. Players may be changed from one round to the next. A player can only represent one Club in any one year.

All players must have a competitive handicap on the day of the event.

The Competition will be 18 holes singles scratch Match Play between the teams. Teams must play in strict playing handicap order. All matches must be played to a finish until the overall match result is decided, i.e. in the event of a halved match, play shall continue until one player wins a hole.

After the closing date for entries the draw will be made by the Golf Committee with the previous year’s finalists, semi-finalists and seeded from 1 to 4.

The home side in each match must offer at least three dates to their opponents to play the match (two at weekends and one mid-week). These dates must be offered at least three weeks before the closing dates for the relevant round. Failure by the away team to agree and play the match on one of these dates will result in the home side going through into the next round. If the home side fails to offer these dates within three weeks of the closing date for the round then the away team is entitled to offer three dates to the home team (two at weekends and one mid-week). These dates must be offered at least two weeks before the closing date of the round.

It is expected that all teams will mutually agree to play their matches before the completion date of each round. Failure to do so will result in the disqualification of both teams.

All matches should be played over a course set up as if for a qualifying competition, off the Club’s medal competition tees of the day. Clubs with a SSS of less than 64 may enter if it makes arrangements with a neighbouring Club with an acceptable SSS to host its home matches or agrees to play all games away from home. Also see Rules 18 & 19

All losing qualifiers and losing first round teams will automatically be entered into the Plate competition.
