Round 1 format

• Each tie consists of two matches, one played home and one away.

• The matches may be played in either order.

• The aggregate result of both matches determines the outcome of Round 1.

• Teams may select different players and playing orders for each match.

Match results

• All individual matches must produce a result.

• In the first match played, there must be no halved individual matches, as the overall tie is still undecided.

• If, after the second match, the combined aggregate score is all square, the tie will be decided by a 3 hole playoff as set out in the rules. Find out more here
