Format: Team Stableford with full handicap over seven rounds.

Description: This is a league competition consisting of seven teams. The teams’ captains are the current Club Captain together with the immediate past six Club Captains. The players are selected by the seven Captains from a list containing the names of the players who would have put down their name on the start sheet for the Competition.

Should the number of players be abundant it might be necessary to call in additional ex-captain(s) to form extra team(s). It is suggested that a team should consist of 12-14 players maximum. If teams are made up of more players the League will loose its competitive edge.

Selection Process: The Captains’ names are drawn to determine the sequence of the selection process. The first Captain drawn will pick his first selection for his team. The second Captain drawn will then pick his first selection for his team and so on until all Captains would have picked a player each. The Captain who chose first in the first round will become the last to choose in the second round. The second drawn Captain will then have first choice to select the second player for his team and so on until all players are chosen. Should the number of players not be exactly divisible by the number of Captains then some teams will have one more player than others. This is acceptable and will not automatically entitle the team(s) with the lesser number of players to new entrants.

New Entrants: Players may not automatically join the League once the Captains’ Selection has been made. Such players must first inform the Competitions Secretary of their interest to join the League. The Competitions Secretary will in turn inform all the Captains. There must be consensus by all the Captains to allow such a player(s) to join the League. The Captains’ decision is final.

If approval is forthcoming from all the Captains, such new entrants will join the League after they pay the full entrance fee irrespective of the number of rounds remaining to be played. The team that they will join will be decided by a draw among those teams with the lesser number of players.

Entrance Fee: The entrance fee for the Competition is Lm 7 and must be paid in advance of the draw.

Non league players will be allowed to play on the Saturdays reserved for Captain Leagues’ rounds provided there is space. The relative competition fee is to be paid. They will not be eligible to win any prizes or gain order of merit points. Team members pay only for the ball sweep.

Team Scoring: At the end of each round the best five Stableford scores from a team’s players will count for the team’s aggregate score for that round. At the end of the season the team with the best five out of seven aggregate scores will win the League.

In the event of a tie, the best score out of the surplus two rounds will decide. If the deadlock is not resolved then the best remaining score will decide. If the situation remains unsolved then the best last round score, followed by the best sixth round score, etc., will determine which team can be declared a winner.

Individual Best Score: Concurrently with the team competition, an individual best score competition is held. The player with the best aggregate score from five out of seven rounds will win this competition.

In the event of a tie, the best score out of the surplus two rounds will decide. If the deadlock is not resolved than the best remaining score will decide. If the situation remains unsolved than the best last round score, followed by the best sixth round score, etc., will determine which player can be declared a winner.

Cancellation: Although every effort will be made to have the full compliment of seven rounds, force majeure can make this impossible. In such instances if one round is cancelled then the best five out of six scores will count. If two rounds are cancelled then the best four out of five rounds will count. If three rounds are cancelled then all the four scores will count. If more than three rounds are cancelled than the Captains League competition for that year will have to be considered as abandoned.

Draw: Traditionally the Club Captain and all ex-Captains are drawn to play off the 1st tee.

- The Player with the best individual score for the round;
