From: Frank Ketchum on 21 Apr 2010 20:25 How do you decide when you have a tie after a match? I thought I read somewhere that you hold a putt off on the putting green to settle up. If so, how does it work? A neutral party picks the hole and the starting point? New hole and starting point each time? I am asking because I play in a couple friendly tournaments with some friends and we need a better way to settle tie matches.

I lost two playoffs at RSG Atlanta on putt offs, oh one in Memphis also. You start playing hole on the practice green until one guy has the lower score. Sudden death. In Atlanta the second time, (-1) 71 was not good enough to avoid the putt-off. Ken

Go back over the card and see who one the first hole >that wasn't halved? First of all, I think that the RSG events are stroke play and not match play. In match play, there is hardly another option than to continue playing (even if it is on a putting green) or to toss the dice. Scorecard playoff in stroke play: ----------------------------------------- The easy way: Compare the # of (net) strokes (or Stableford points) in the last 9 (if even: 6, 3, 1) holes played. The difficult way (usually with the help of a computer): Select the holes with the stroke indices 1, 18, 3, 16, 5, 14, 7, 12, 9 and compare the (net) strokes or Stableford points. In case of even results, take the holes with SIs 1, 18, 3, 16, 5, 14, then SIs 1, 18, 3 and at last the SI 1 hole. Ciao, Paul

If you are just talking about a regular match during the week there is no tie breaker. The match is just halved and no one wins or loses. To determine the championship for my event I do have a tie breaker, though. My event is Modified Stableford scoring. There are a couple of different levels of tie breakers but they all involve a "scorecard" playoff. The final tiebreaker is arm wrestling. -- jvdp Hey Annika, you'll never hold these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockpyle/3940732311/ http://www.rsgcincinnati.com |
