<p>Eligible Clubs All Clubs affiliated (and up to date with the payment of affiliation fee) to Kent Golf Limited. 2. Eligible Players Any Members, Male or Female, who are under the age of 18 years on the 1st of January of the year of the competition, and are in possession of a Handicap Index not higher than 20.4 for boys or 30.4 for girls. However, as explained below, lower handicap limits may be applied in determining each player's handicap allowance. Players in the Team may be changed between rounds. No player may play for more than one Club in any Calendar Year. 3. Caddies Caddies are allowed but must be under 18 on 1st January of the year of the competition. 4. The Match Two pairs from each Club (pairs "˜A' and "˜B') will play Foursomes Match Play, off Handicap, over 18 holes, each game being played over the full 18 holes. The winning Club will be the team that is the most holes up from the aggregate of the scores of the two pairs at the end of the round. The pair from each club that tees-off first at the first hole played shall be deemed to be Pair "˜A'. In the event of a Tie pair "˜B' shall play "sudden death" to determine the result. Each match shall be on a single match basis i.e. not "home" and "away". 5. Conceding Game If during the play of a game a player is unable to continue due to illness, injury or any other reason, that pair will concede the remaining holes to their Opponents i.e. "all square" with 4 holes to play, will produce a 4 down result. Similarly, in the event of a Tied match after both pairs have played 18 holes, and Pair "˜B' cannot continue into "sudden death", the Match will be conceded to the Opponents. 6. Tees Boys will play from the men's tees of the day, girls from the ladies' tees of the day. If all four players in a group are male, use SI of the tees being played and if a group includes one or more females, use the SI of the forward tees. 7. Handicap Allowance Handicap allowances should be calculated using the latest version of England Golf's Mixed Tee Calculator entering the details of the tee set(s) being played on the day. The maximum Handicap Index limit for each player in pair "˜A' shall be 20.4 for boys and 30.4 for girls. The maximum handicap Index for each player in pair "˜B' shall be 10.4 for boys and 15.4 for girls. A player with a higher handicap index than this may play as part of either pair, but his or her handicap shall be restricted to the maximum limit except for adjustments as noted in Rules of Handicapping published by the R&A. The Handicap allowance shall be as prescribed in Appendix C to the Rules of Handicapping (50% of combined Team Handicap) which is pre-set in the Mixed Tee Calculator. Failure to demonstrate a player's handicap index will require the player(s) concerned to play off Scratch. 8. Draw arrangements When the draw is issued, it will specify a 'draw date'. The obligation to make contact and offer dates shall be as prescribed in the Kent Golf General Competition Conditions. 9. Practice Rounds Clubs are not expected to provide free practice rounds for their opponents. The home club will be expected not to charge green fees for the match and to provide sandwiches and refreshments for the players after golf. The final will normally be played at the same venue and on the same day as the Kent Amateur Foursomes finals.</p>
