USGA rules with the following exception:

The one ball rule is NOT in effect.

Play the 2nd from back tees.

Special

The BNGA does not oversee or dictate how each course picks its team. Some have qualifying tournaments, use the handicap system, or hand pick them. Whatever their method, the only requirement is the contestants met the general BNGA eligibility requirements.  In the spirit of the competition, players should be affiliated with the club/course.

Pairs are by Team rank and then rank within Team, worst Sat Score to best, although adjustments can be made by the hosting pro.

Woman can play in this tournament and play from 1 tee box up from the main field.

Seniors, for Interclub purposes, are those 60 years or older on the first day of the event and play 1 tee box up from the main field.
