The Tournament

INDIVIDUAL STAGE

From the very start of the tournament, the first day of Stableford determines the Individual World Champions (series Gentlemen and Ladies, categories Brut et Net). Each player plays with their index finger: a beginner therefore has the same chances as a more experienced player. This day also serves as qualification for the team competition: in each team, the 3 best cards out of 4 are retained.

STAGE BY TEAM (match play)

At the end of the individual day, the 3 best gross scores from each team are added together. This gives a general ranking of the teams.
This ranking divides the teams by level into two brackets of 8 teams. Each team therefore faces opponents of its level, from the first to the last match:
• Diamond Cup : the ranked teams from 1 to 8
• Gold Cup : the ranked teams from 9th to 16th

This format can be adapted depending on the number of teams registered.

In case of a tie: 

• of an individual match tied after 18 holes It is a shared score, ½ point for each team. No extra holes are played. This is the rule of the Ryder Cup; the golfers know it.
• If two teams are tied for first place, We look at the 4th hole, then the last 9 holes, then the 6th hole, then the 3rd hole, then the 18th hole.
• from a match per team to a tie in total points The team that wins is the one that has the most holes ahead by adding up all its matches. For example, a 3&2 victory (+3) and a 1 down (-1) result is +2. If it is still tied, the results are compared on hole 18, then on hole 17, and so on. It is immediate, and it rewards the team that really dominated.
