INIS FADA MATCH GUIDELINES

1. The committee will put all match opponents in the same foursome when both are at the tournament.

2. Opponents should play the match if both are present at the tournament. If there is still time left and both opponents agree, then the match can be postponed (only within the allotted timeframe).

3. All matches must be played in the allotted time frame. If the match is not played the committee will declare a winner.

4. If a player has a scratch match and a handicap match to play, the handicap match should be played first. Opponents can agree to play either match at a tournament, however, they MUST inform the committee prior to the foursomes being made so they can be in the same group. Likewise if the same opponents have both a handicap and a scratch match against each other, the handicap match should be played first.

5. Matches do not need to be played on a Tournament Day. Opponents can agree to play the match at any time or place. When the match is completed please inform the committee in a timely manner.

6. The use of tiebreakers is encouraged. Remember that it is not always feasible to use the "19th" hole. Examples of other tiebreakers that can be used are last nine, first blood, last blood, or best net score. Try to decide on a tiebreaker before you start the match, especially if time is short.

7. Disputes between opponents should be resolved on the course.  Remember 2 balls can be played during the round on the particular hole with the rules question.  If the dispute cannot be resolved it should be brought to the committee ASAP after the round.
