In the event of a tie, the following rules apply:

In the event of a tie in stroke play trophy events and qualifying rounds (other than the stroke play championships), a count back system will be used. The following method will be used in counting back for determining a winner where total scores are equal, starting at hole number 18 on the scorecard and working back:
the best score over the last 9 holes; if there is still a tie:
the best score over the last 6 holes; if there is still a tie:
the best score over the last 3 holes; if there is still a tie:
the best hole by hole for all 18 holes starting at the 18th hole.

In the event of a tie in match play trophy events the sides will continue from their respective starting hole until a side wins a hole. Handicaps will apply as for the first 18 holes.

In the event of a tie in Club Championship events, play will continue from hole No. 1 or as determined by the match committee until a side wins the hole or has a lower score.

If there is no decision or play by due date, both players of the side will be in default of the terms of the competition.

Disqualification

A player returning an incorrectly completed card will be disqualified from an event under the terms of the Rules of Golf.
A card which has not been signed by both the player and marker will result in the player being disqualified from the event.
Where the score signed for is higher than that actually taken, the player will not be disqualified but the higher score will stand.

The winner is the competitor who scores the highest number of points. If your handicap is more than 18, two strokes are allowed on the number of holes that the handicap exceeds. Each of these strokes will be taken in the stroke index order (18 stroke index being the easiest hole on the course and the 1stthe hardest).
