Ottawa Sun Scramble: Format & Rules

Local Rules/ Conditions of Competition

Play is governed by the current Golf Canada (RCGA) Rules of Golf, except for the following: 

  1. Two-Person Scramble Format (commonly known as “best shot”).
  2. Lift, clean and place within 12 inches in any direction 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 one 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.
  5. The ball in play may be replaced at any time during the round as long as your ball can be easily identified.
  6. Stones in bunkers are movable obstructions. Players may remove stones without penalty.
  7. If one ball may be lost and one is safe, only one minute is permitted to search – provisionals not permitted if one ball is safe.
  8. If both balls may be lost, a maximum of one provisional is to be hit by each player – three 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.
  10. All scorecards must be signed by at least one player and a scorer from another team.
  11. Only one non-amateur player permitted on each Ladies, Senior and Open team.
  12. Junior and Senior champions may be asked to produce identification to verify age restrictions.
  13. All types of Range finders and GPS devices are permitted.
  14. All flower beds are considered immovable obstructions and a player may take relief without penalty.
  15. Wooden walls along the edge of bunkers are considered outside of the hazard and deemed to be immovable obstructions. Players may take relief without penalty.

Pace of Play Policy

All rounds are to be played in under 4hrs 30 mins.

You will be given a warning if your group is out of position which means more than a half hole behind the group ahead of you. A one-stroke penalty will be assessed to anyone who takes more than 45 seconds to execute a shot when their group is out of position.

In the event of a tie

If after completion of round one, or the Eagle Creek Qualifier, there are more teams on the cut line than there are available spotsfor the next round, a sudden death playoff will begin immediately.

If after completion of the championship rounds, there is a tie for the lead, a sudden death playoff will begin immediately.

  • Teams will tee off on the same playoff hole. (Playoff holes are determined by the tournament committee based on golf course availability (maximum of four teams per group; if there are more than four teams the group will be split up)
  • Sudden Death Playoff format

  • If play is suspended due to darkness, weather or course unavailability, a form of retrogression will be used:

    • Best back nine of the most recent round wins, if still tied
    • Best last six holes, if still tied
    • Best last three holes, if still tied
    • Best hole from 18 continuing in reverse

Rain/Weather 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 and tournament committee or course management makes the decision to cease play

In the case of such delays/cancellations for round one or the Eagle Creek Qualifier, 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 cease 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. If the number of holes completed is less than nine, the final results from last year’s event (as posted in the “2011 List of Players”) will be used to determine who plays in the Championship round.

In the case of such delays/cancellations for a championship day, results from round one will be official.

In the event of a delay, players must mark the location where their ball lay and continue from that spot when play resumes.
