Play 
(a)     Matches shall be played on three consecutive days.

(b)     The order of play will be determined in accordance with the relative positions of the four Countries in the previous year’s matches. On Wednesday Match 1 will comprise the Champion Country versus the fourth-placed team, while Match 2 will comprise the second versus the third placed teams. On the Thursday Match 1 will comprise the winners of Wednesday’s Match 1 versus the losers of Wednesday’s Match 2, while Match 2 will comprise the losers of Wednesday’s Match 1 versus the winners of Wednesday’s Match 2. In the event of a tie, the higher placed team in the previous year’s matches shall have precedence. (Thus if teams 1 and 4 tie and team number 2 defeats team number 3 then team number 1 plays number 3 and team number 2 plays number 4). On the Friday those teams still to meet will play. The order of play will be determined by the number of match points won by each team with the team with the highest number of match points having the honour in Match 2. In the event of a tie on match points then the same principle will apply to the number of game points won by each team. Once Match 2 is established then Match 1 will comprise the two remaining teams with the honour given to the team with the greater match points or in the event of a tie the greater number of game points between each side. In the event of all teams tying on match and game points then the team which finished highest in the previous year’s matches, will have the honour in Match 2. Match 1 will comprise the two remaining teams with the honour given to the higher of the two teams in the previous year’s matches.

(c)     Each game shall consist of 18 holes.

(d)     Five foursomes shall be played in the morning and ten singles in the afternoon.

(e)     Each team shall consist of eleven players.
