Handicaps and adjustments: 

The handicaps registered by the players with a federation body (GHIN, FMG, AGVM or regional body) at the time of registration or on arrival at the club will be taken into account. Letters from professionals or clubs will not be endorsed and will only serve as a reference. If the HCP cannot be verified, it will be adjusted once the round is finished and the result will be the hcp.

Players presenting an updated handicap index (ghin) will be adjusted according to the slope of each course.

Any HCP may be reviewed and its case sanctioned in accordance with these regulations.

The Organising Committee reserves the right to review and adjust any HCP that does not correspond to the declared HCP and its decision will be final: all scores that exceed the filter established by the tournament organising committee will be adjusted and will compete with the adjustment.

The handicaps that are adjusted will be registered for the rest of the stages.

Score cards that are not handed in with at least one signature of a fellow player 15 minutes after the end of the tournament, score cards that have been crossed out or erased, as well as unofficial tournament score cards will be grounds for disqualification. The tournament scorecard is the only official means of determining the official result.

Ties:

In the event of a tie: In the event of a tie, the player with the lowest handicap at 100% will win. If a tie persists, the teams' cards will be compared, taking into account the Gross score, starting with the first advantage of the field and so on until a winner is reached. The tie-breaker will be with the advantages assigned to white.
