Rules
The first day's play has the teams split into four groups of four. In the group stages three points are given for winning a match, with one point given for a draw. The top two teams from each group progress to the knockout stages – the quarterfinals, the semifinals, a 3rd/4th place playoff match and the final – all of which were contested on the second and final day.
The winner of each match is the team with the most holes won after a six-hole contest. A
greensomes match play format is used, where all four players drive and the teams choose the best tee shot, and from there play alternate shots.
A shot clock is in operation at the fourth hole, with the players permitted 30 seconds to play each shot and any breach of time incurring a stroke penalty.
