The result card must be signed and posted to HELEN PHILLIPS for the

winner. If the points are level at
this stage, the team with the highest handicap will be the winner. i.e. Team A has a handicap of 100, Team B
has a handicap of 50, in the event of a draw Team A will be the winner. |

In the event of a team being unable to field five
players, once they have agreed a fixture as per rule 1, the match should
proceed with each team fielding four players.
The team who could not field a fifth player will concede 30

the Committee, will remain the same.
If a team cannot field at least four players they will be
disqualified. A team will only be
allowed to field four players on one occasion. If the situation occurs again, for whatever
reason, the team will automatically be disqualified. As soon as a captain is aware they will not be able to
field a full team they should notify the other team captain and the Riley
Rose Bowl Coordinator. |
