All club competitions will be played to EBA rules. Men’s and Ladies singles will be played with 4 woods each with the winner being the first to reach 21 shots.
The Open two wood singles winner will be the player with the highest score after 21 ends. In the event of a draw, an extra end will be played.
The 9-Up singles will be played with 4 woods and two sets of nine ends. The winner will be the person who wins by either two sets to nil, one set and draws one set or if it is one set all, they need to win the best of a three-end tie break. A marker should be arranged for singles games.
Pairs and mixed pairs will be played with 4 woods each player and the winners will be the players with the highest score after 18 ends. In the event of a draw, an extra end will be played. All the above are straight knockout competitions. All competitions will be drawn at random.
For singles and pairs matches, the first player(s) in the draw should contact their opponent(s) and arrange a date and time for the match to be played, by the play by date (to be agreed by both parties). Should this not happen within seven days of the play by date, the opponent(s) become the challenger(s) and should then contact the first named player(s) giving two dates/times of their choice.
A finals weekend will be arranged by the Competition Secretary for all the finals to take place. This will take place in either late August or early September unless authorised by the Competition Secretary, games are to be played by the dates stipulated. Failure to arrange to play by the play by date will result in the Competition Secretary setting a date for the game to be played. Player(s) failing to attend will be eliminated from the competition unless the competition is informed of a valid reason.
