Two players from each team play as partners, each playing his own ball. The lower net score of the partners is the score for the hole. Whichever team has the lower net score wins the hole. If both teams’ net scores are the same, the hole is halved.

Handicaps will be compared to the lowest in the group. Squabbit will automatically calculate all players’ individual Stableford points for the round.

Two players from each team play as partners. Each golfer hits his own ball from the tee box. The pair walks to where the balls landed and elects the one whose position is most desirable. Each golfer then hits from that chosen spot, proceeding likewise until the lowest score for the hole is recorded.

Each player must play their ball within six inches of the chosen ball’s location, with preferred lies permitted for both.

Whichever team has the lower net score wins the hole. If both are the same, the hole is halved.

Handicaps are calculated as the average of the pair, compared against the lower of the two pairs.

The winner is the player who scores the higher number of Stableford points over all 18 holes, in line with the Individual ITC Trophy scoring.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not match-play format.

Competitions take place on holes selected by the Committee during each round.

• Longest Drive: ball must be on the fairway to qualify.
• Nearest The Pin: ball must be on the green to qualify.

Each player is responsible for clearly identifying their ball. If two or more players dispute the winning shot, the Committee will decide on an appropriate playoff tie-breaker immediately after the round.

• 4 match points — Round 1 (Fourballs)
• 4 match points — Round 2 (Scramble)
• 8 match points — Round 3 (Singles)
• ½ point per Longest Drive & Nearest The Pin winner, per round

The team that reaches 10 points is crowned champions.

In the event of a tie (9.5 pts each), the trophy is retained by the previous year’s winners.

Awarded based on the Stableford score from Round 3 (Singles) only.

In the event of a tie, the Committee will decide on the appropriate playoff tie-breaker to be completed immediately after the round.
