Rule 32<br />
b. Stableford Competitions<br />
<strong>The</strong> scoring in Stableford competitions is made by points awarded in relation<br />
to a fixed score at each hole as follows:<br />
Hole Played In Points<br />
More than one over fixed score or no score returned .....................................0<br />
One over fixed score .............................................................................................................1<br />
Fixed score ....................................................................................................................................2<br />
One under fixed score ..........................................................................................................3<br />
Two under fixed score ..........................................................................................................4<br />
Three under fixed score .......................................................................................................5<br />
Four under fixed score ..........................................................................................................6<br />
<strong>The</strong> winner is the competitor who scores the highest number <strong>of</strong> points.<br />
<strong>The</strong> marker is responsible for marking only the gross number <strong>of</strong> strokes at<br />
each hole where the competitor’s net score earns one or more points.<br />
Note 1: If a competitor is in breach <strong>of</strong> a Rule for which there is a maximum<br />
penalty per round, he must report the facts to the Committee before<br />
returning his score card; if he fails to do so, he is disqualified. <strong>The</strong> Committee<br />
will, from the total points scored for the round, deduct two points for each<br />
hole at which any breach occurred, with a maximum deduction per round<br />
<strong>of</strong> four points for each Rule breached.<br />
Note 2: If the competitor is in breach <strong>of</strong> Rule 6-3a (Time <strong>of</strong> Starting) but<br />
arrives at his starting point, ready to play, within five minutes after his starting<br />
time, or is in breach <strong>of</strong> Rule 6-7 (Undue Delay; Slow Play), the Committee<br />
will deduct two points from the total points scored for the round. For a<br />
repeated <strong>of</strong>fence under Rule 6-7, see Rule 32-2a.<br />
Note 3: For the purpose <strong>of</strong> preventing slow play, the Committee may, in the<br />
conditions <strong>of</strong> a competition (Rule 33-1), establish pace <strong>of</strong> play guidelines,<br />
including maximum periods <strong>of</strong> time allowed to complete a stipulated round, a<br />
hole or a stroke.
