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:
  1. Another nearby course on that day.
  2. That course or another course on the next day.
  3. An appropriate course prior to the event for which the players were competing.
  4. Include all tied players in the event.
  5. Ties for team position will be broken according to Rule 33-6 and Appendix 1, as follows:
