- If both balls may be lost, provisionals must be hit 3 minutes permitted to search for original balls
- 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
- play is halted due to darkness
In the case of such delays, play will resume as soon as possible on the same day. Or, if it is impossible to finish all rounds on that day, a make-up day will be scheduled with the course professional and times will be posted on the tournament website, and players will be notified via email.
If a player or team cannot play on the make-up date, they will be declared DNF (did not finish).
In the event of a delay, players will tee-off again and replay the hole which they did not finish.
