5.      Players must carry clubs and walk!

6.      Players must wear golf or rubber soled shoes! (Dress code per W.I.A.A. regulations)

7.      All players are lead up from number one to ten.

8.      The hosting coach, or course professional will instruct the players about the course rules, out of bounds, casual water, etc.

9.      Players are given score cards; they will deep both their own score and their opponents.  The record of their opponent's score is the official.

10.   At the end of the match add up both their own score and their opponents.  If they agree they exchange cards and sign them.  The cards are then turned into the coaches.  The coaches check the addition of the scores and record them.  There is no penalty if the scores are added wrong.  However, disqualification can happen if the player signed a card with an incorrect score recorded.

11.  Players tee off in foursomes with number one and two players first, followed by the three and four players, etc.  Depending on the availability of the course players may be "shot gunned", starting at different holes, which shortens the match time.

12.  Coaches may, at any time, be asked to help make a ruling if questions arise during the round by any competing players.
