• Matches -  Each individual foursomes match to play the full 18 holes.  The aggregate score of holes won and lost after the completion of the 18 holes by both pairs will determine the winning club.  In the event of a tie pair B shall play sudden death. The pair who tee off first as deemed as pair A.


• Caddies - are allowed but must be under 18 on 1st January of the year of the competition. 


• Contact - When the draw is issued, it will specify a draw date. Within two weeks of the draw date and, thereafter, within one week of the play by date or end date of the previous round, the Home team should make contact and offer at least three dates, spread over not less than two weeks. Should the Home team not contact the Away team within the period specified and offer dates, it will concede home advantage and the Away team may then contact the Home team, choose the venue, but must at the time of contact offer three dates, spread over not less than two weeks. Bank Holiday Mondays are classed as weekdays.


• Green fee - It is hoped that the home teams club will allow the visiting team courtesy of the course for the purposes of the match. If courtesy if not allowed, both teams will be expected to bear the cost of the green fee for the match in equal shares.  The visiting team has no right to a practice round unless that facility is granted by the home teams club. The visiting team shall be solely responsible for any practice round green fee.


• The Final - The final will be played at the same venue and on the same day as the Kent Amateur Foursomes finals.
