Tiebreaker System:
Team Matches Tied: Team matches that are tied will be decided by using the following procedure:
If a team match is tied after the completion of the five singles matches, the tie will be broken by comparing the margin of victory of each individual match won for their team.
If a team tie still exists, the team winner will be determined by comparing the number of holes remaining in each match won:
If a team tie still exists, the team winner will be determined by comparing the halved match or matches. These results will be determined by a "scorecard playoff" (scores will be compared by the #1 handicap hole) provided all tied matches have played that hole. Handicap holes will be used until the tie is broken with total scores.
