Notes:          
Middleton Cup (Scratch Knockout) Prizes: Winners, Runners up and Losing Semi-finalists.    
           
Any full member with a handicap no greater than 9 is eligible to enter the competition.      
Players may enter the competition via the Professional's shop before the notified closing date.      
The Committee will make the draw and arrange dates by which all the various rounds are to be played.    
The final, played over 36 holes, will be arranged by the Committee who will also provide a referee.    
The competition is played on a match play basis.        
All matches to be played to a finish over 18 holes.        
If still tied after 18 holes, "sudden death" will decide the winner.      
In the event of matches being all square after 18 holes, play will continue from the starting hole until a match is won.    
Matches may start from any mutually agreed tee although the Committee recommends the 1st tee whenever possible.    
If unplayable conditions occur the game may be discontinued by mutual agreement under Rule 6-8a.    
It is the duty of both players to arrange the match.        
Both parties MUST supply a contact telephone number on the competition sheet when the first round draw is published.    
Both parties are then responsible for making contact. Those who fail to supply the information in time will be scratched from the event.
If both players fail to do this in sufficient time then BOTH will be disqualified.      
The players must offer three dates before the closing date of the stipulated round, one being a Saturday and one a Sunday.    
If none of the dates can be agreed the players must notify the Committee whose decision on any dispute will be final.    
Any match not being played by the stipulated date and with no player having contacted the Committee,    
will result in both competitors being disqualified from the competition.      
Please note that those Saturdays and Sundays when other competitions are running should be avoided.    
However, if there is sufficient time to play after the last tee-off time this will be acceptable.
