Malta vs The Rest

Two teams of 12 players will take part with selection being done on the following basis

Cup Insights

Only Maltese passport holders can play for the Maltese Team and similarly only non-Maltese passport holders can play for The Rest.

Ten players for each side will be taken from the top placed players in the Order of Merit League Table as at the end of the immediately past official golf season.

Should one or more of the ten qualifying players for each team becomes unavailable to represent his side, then the next player on the Order of Merit Table will qualify according to the Division of the player that drops out.

The Club Captain will be the Captain for Malta or for The Rest according to his nationality.

Should the Club Captain not be one of the top ten qualifying players in the Order of Merit, then (unless he opts to be a non-playing Captain) he may play for his side by utilizing one wild card *.

The Captain for the other side will be chosen by a vote amongst the ten qualifying players of the side. The Captain may be a non-playing Captain chosen from outside the qualifying ten players.

Each Captain selects two (* one) other players by issuing wild cards.

Should a player change citizenship over the years he is a member of the RMGC and should he have played for either side before the change of citizenship, then his alliance would remain as to the previous citizenship he held.

Once the Captains forward their pairings and team sequence of play to the Competitions Secretary, in the event of inclement weather postponing any of the days of the competition, then the said pairings and team sequence of play may not be changed by either Captain unless a player becomes unavailable to play because of health or travel reasons. In such an eventuality the Captains will be afforded the opportunity to replace the player with an equivalent reserve player, i.e. Div 1 qualifier with a Div 1 reserve, wild card with wild card, but must not otherwise change their pairings and/or team sequence of play. This will also apply if a player becomes injured during the course of the competition and cannot play on subsequent days.

According to the Note under Rule 8 of the rules of golf, the team Captain may give advice to members of his team.

DAY ONE: Teams of two: Foursomes match play – ½ combined handicap.
Scoring two points for a win; one point for a draw.

DAY TWO: Teams of two: 4BBB match play – ¾ handicap off back marker. Scoring two points for a win; one point for a draw.

DAY THREE: Singles match play – full handicap difference. Scoring two points for a win; one point for a draw.

The winning team will be that scoring the most points after three days with the Captain of the losing side falling on the Sword! In the event of a draw the Competitions Secretary will fall on the Sword!

Lunch is provided for the teams on the Sunday
