Definition of Out of Position: 落後前組
The first group and any group after a starter’s gap will be considered to be “out of position” if at any 
time during the round, the group’s cumulative time exceeds the time allowed for the number of holes 
played. Any following group will be considered ‘out of position’ if it is more than the starting time 
interval behind the group in front and has exceeded the time allowed for the number of holes played. 
落後前組的定義：超過各組間隔的開球時間，且已打完的洞超過所允許的擊球時間。

b)	Procedure When Group is Out of Position 落後前組的處理方式
1.	If the decision is taken to time the group, each player in the group will be subject to individual 
timing by a Rules Official. Each player in the group will be advised that they are “out of position” 
and are being timed.  若有組別被計時，該組每一位球員都會被裁判個別計時並被告知已落後前組且正在被計時。
2.	The maximum time allocated per shot is 40 seconds. 10 extra seconds are allowed for the first 
player to play: 計時開始後每一次擊球時間為40秒。但第一位球員開球、打第二桿、在果嶺推桿則允許50秒。
·	On the tee box; 
·	On the subsequent shots; and 
·	On the putting green. 

   The timing will start when a player has reached his ball, it is his turn to play and he is able to play without    
   interference or distraction.  計時於輪到該球員擊球並到達球旁邊且沒有其他干擾時就開始。
   On the putting green, timing will start when the player has had a reasonable amount of time to lift, 
   clean and replace his ball, repair ball marks and move loose impediments on his line of putt. Time 
   spent looking at the line from beyond the hole and/or behind the ball will count as time taken for the next  
   stroke. 在果嶺上選手有足夠時間將球清理並置放完成，修補記號且移除鬆散障礙物後才開始計時。
   看推桿線所花時間會算在推下一桿的時間內。
3.	Timing ceases when a group is either back in position in relation to the preceding group or within 
the allocated time for the holes played. 若已無落後前組或符合允許的擊球時間即停止計時。

PENALTY FOR BREACH OF CONDITION: 違規處罰
1 bad time 	Player will be warned by the Rules Official and told that if he has a further bad time he 
will be penalized. 違規1次－裁判口頭警告

3 bad times 	further penalty of two strokes 違規3次－罰2桿
4 bad times 	Disqualification 違規4次－取消資格

c)	Procedure When Again Out of Position During the Same Round 同一回合再次發生落後的處理方式
If a group is “out of position” more than once during a round the above procedure will apply on each 
occasion. Bad times and the application of penalties in the same round will be carried forward until 
the round is completed. A player will not be penalized if he has a second bad time before being 
advised of his earlier bad time. 若同一回合落後前組不止一次，每一次都按上述方式處理。
違規和處罰的紀錄會一直跟到本回合結束。若違規第二次時尚未被告知先前有違規，將不被處罰。

18. DECISION OF TIES 平手判定
In the event of a tie for the overall CHAMPION, the players tying shall as soon as possible continue in 
a hole-by-hole play-off until the winner is decided by elimination. The Tournament Committee shall 
determine the sequence of holes for the play-off. 總冠軍同桿時由逐洞延長驟死賽決定冠軍，
由比賽委員會決定在哪幾洞打延長賽。
In the event of a tie for any other placing, the tie shall be decided by a count-back system of matching 
scorecards in the following order: 其他名次平手則往前推算成績，按照下列順序決定排名：

c.	3rd Last 18 Holes 第二回合18洞
d.	Last 9 holes 最後9洞  (10-18洞)

f.	Last 3 holes 最後3洞  (16-18洞)

last 3 holes and the last hole is considered to be holes for 10 – 18,  13 – 18,  16 – 18,  and the 18th
hole. 

In the net event, the net score will be used for matching. In any case, if the tie is still undecided, it shall be decided by lot. 淨桿賽則以淨桿成績計算，同桿以抽籤決定。
