At least nine teams will advance to the 16th hole with any Ties broken by a chip off on the 15th green - chip on green closest to hole.

A maximum of three teams may be eliminated on the 16th and 17th hole. All ties will be broken with a chip off on each hole - chip on green closest to hole.

Remaining teams left on the 18th hole playing for the overall championship. Any ties on 18th will continue on to the 1st hole and so on until there is one overall winner.

Low net score on 18th or succeeding hole wins. Ties for second and third place will share prizes.

If a tie exists in this case, we will have a chip-off on #18 green. In the event the shootout cannot be completed due to darkness, the overall winner of the teams remaining will be drawn by lot.
