The lowest 3 out of 4 pair scores count for the team total
The winner of the competition will be determined by lowest team eighteen-hole aggregate score (three of four scores). In the event of a tie for any qualifying spots, the committee will use the aggregate team total using all four pair scores; if still tied the Committee will use team aggregate score (all pairs) on the second 9 holes; if still tied the Committee will use the team aggregate score (all pairs) for the final 6 holes. If still tied the Committee will use the aggregate score (all pairs) for the final 3 holes. If still tied, the Committee will use team aggregate score (all pairs) for the 18th hole only, and continue backwards by comparing the 17th hole only, 16th hole only, etc. until a winner has been determined.
