Handicap Acceptance Policy

For this tournament, the lowest handicap will be used by comparing the following sources:

1. Self-Reported Handicap

– The handicap submitted by the player at the time of tournament registration.

2. Mongolian Tournament Handicap

– The handicap calculated based on scores from official Mongolian golf tournaments.

3. Official GHIN Handicap
– The verified handicap from official systems such as GHIN (e.g., USGA, CDGA).

Tie Breaker

 In the event of a tie for 1st place, an on-course playoff will commence immediately following conclusion of regular play, weather, daylight, and the course permitting. If playoff is not feasible, we will be using the countback tie-breaking method: (Last 9,6,3,1 holes): If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, determine the winner on the basis of the last six holes, last three holes, and finally, the 18th hole. If this method is used in a competition with a multiple tee start, the “last nine holes, last six holes, etc.” is considered to be holes 10-18, 13-18, etc.

In net competitions (where handicaps are used), a portion of the handicap from the score for each segment being compared (e.g., half the handicap for the last nine, one-third for the last six).

Code of Conduct

Rule 1.2a consolidates the expected standards of player conduct:

• It declares that players are expected to play in the spirit of the game by acting with integrity, showing consideration to others and taking good care of the course.
• It unequivocally states the Committee’s authority to disqualify a player for any serious misconduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.

Rule 1.2b also gives the Committee authority to adopt its own Code of Conduct and to set penalties for its breach. Please see MGLeague’s code of conduct here.
