ANNUAL 'GOLD CUP' COMPETITION
Eligibility
At a monthly meeting, in their respective divisions, the persons qualifying to compete in the
Annual Gold Cup Competition must be home Club members each of whom is, as per the terms
of the Constitution, in a category of membership which entitles them to compete in all annual
competitions.
(i)
The highest scoring eligible home Club member of a division during the playing year at a
monthly meeting shall automatically qualify for the annual ‘Gold Cup’ competition, as
also shall any other eligible home Club member who tied that score in the same
meeting, but lost on a count-out.
(ii)
In qualifying for the annual ‘Gold Cup’ competition, a member does so only in the
division in which he qualified, and irrespective of the handicap division under which his
current handicap may determine he plays at the Gold Cup Meeting. For example, a
member may have qualified (or been counted out) for the ‘B’ division during the playing
year, yet by the time the ‘Gold Cup’ Meeting is played his handicap may have been so
adjusted as to place him in the ‘A’ division. He shall, therefore, compete for the ‘B’
Division ‘Gold Cup’.
(iii)
If during a playing year a Member shall have qualified for the Annual Gold Cup
Competition by virtue of having been highest scoring eligible member (or been counted
out) for the division in two different divisions, prior to the ‘Gold Cup’ meeting, he shall
elect in which of the divisions he wishes to compete. A member shall compete in only
one division for the ‘Gold Cup’.
(iv)
In the event of a tie the count-out shall follow the procedure as detailed in Rule 11 (i)
hereof.
(v)
Any Member who wins (or loses on a count-out) a division at a NOMADS Club other than
that of which he is a Member shall not qualify for the annual 'Gold Cup' of that club. If
such visiting Nomad wins a division (but not on a count-out) or wins on a count-out
from another visiting Nomad then the home club Member or Members scoring the next
highest score in that division shall qualify for the annual Gold Cup in that division.
(vi)
Where a player who scores highest in a Division at a monthly meeting does not meet
the eligibility criteria to qualify for the Annual Gold Cup Competition then that
