In exceptional circumstances, Alberta Golf may permit a player, who otherwise qualifies for an amateur event, to use a power cart or other special equipment. A current medical certificate along with a letter describing the player’s needs must be submitted with the entry to request such permission. Authorization to use such equipment may be granted if in the opinion of the Rules Committee, the player could not otherwise participate in the event due to a serious permanent physical impairment. Such use may be denied, if it is deemed that use of such special device, would give the player an undue advantage over other competitors.

| Tie Breaking Procedures |
Ties for major championships, final qualifying position or the final position on a provincial team will be broken by a sudden death playoff. The hole(s) designated for the playoff will be discussed by the Event Chairman with the Host Club Pro Shop in advance. However the hole(s) may not be finalized until the scope of any playoff is determined and the course availability at the time of the playoff is known.
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.
If conditions are such that a play off may not be conducted for a team position on that day or that course the following options should be evaluated in sequence to conduct a playoff:
- Another nearby course on that day.
- 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.
- Ties for team position will be broken according to Rule 33-6 and Appendix 1, as follows:
Matching Scorecards
Ties will be broken according to Rule 33-6 and Appendix 1, as follows:
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.
To break a tie in stroke play gross score competition by matching scorecards, examine the holes as they appear on the scorecard. A winner will be determined on the basis of the best score in the following sequence:
i) last 18 holes
ii) last 9 holes (10-18)
iii) last 6 holes (13-18)
iv) last holes 3 (16-18)
v) last hole (18)
vi) first 9 holes (1-9)
vii) last 6 holes on front nine (4-9)
viii) last 3 holes on front nine (7-9)
ix) last hole on front nine (9)
x) 18th hole, 17th hole, 16th hole, etc.
xi) In a multi round competition, repeat the same procedure using the 2nd last 18 played, etc.
To break a tie in net competition follow the same procedure and deduct the appropriate portion of the course handicap and include the fractions.
i) last 18 holes less full course handicap
ii) last 9 holes (10-18) less 1/2 course handicap (9/18)
iii) last 6 holes (13-18) less 1/3 course handicap (6/18
iv) last 3 holes (16-18) less 1/6 course handicap (3/18)
*To break ties for pairing purposes or for order of tee off within a group refer to the above method of matching scorecards.
Gross Stroke or Match Play Competition
A hole-by-hole play-off shall be played to determine the winner. |
