If due to weather, darkness or other cause, a playoff cannot be held to determine a Champion, then co-winners shall be declared (example Alberta Junior Champion). In the event of a tie in a gross score competition that is not to be decided by a playoff, then a winner shall be declared by matching scorecards.

That course or another course on the next day. An appropriate course prior to the event for which the players were competing. Include all tied players in the event.
