1. RCGA rules except for local rules on Eagle Creek, Le Sorcier, Talon, Falcon Ridge and Château Cartier score cards - and as explained below
   
   
2. Lift, clean and place within 12 inches no closer to hole – everywhere except on green – if original ball is in a hazard or rough, ball must remain in same cut of rough or hazard
   
   
3. Marking ball on green. Chosen ball must be played from exact position, therefore, place a marker 1 putter head length sideways from the original position
   
   
4. Tap-ins. If a putt is on the lip (within 12 inches) it may be tapped in prior to the second putt being attempted. If the second putt is made, it will be the one that counts. If the first tap-in is missed, the only ball in play is the second ball

7. If one ball may be lost and one is safe, only 1 minute is permitted to search – provisionals not permitted if one ball is safe
   
   
8. If both balls may be lost, provisionals must be hit – 3 minutes permitted to search for original balls
   
   
9. If a ruling is required, attempt to make it within your group – if needed, try to flag rules official but if one is not near, play a second ball and the ruling will be made when you come in

Rain Policy

Tournament play will continue in a rain situation unless:

• the course is deemed unplayable by the course professional
• there is lightning in the area

In the case of such delays, play will resume as soon as possible on the same day. If it is impossible for all play to finish on that day, then the round will be called and a decision will be made on how many holes are official. This decision will be based on how many holes the last group fully completed.

In the event of a delay, players must mark their balls with three tees and continue from that spot when play resumes.
