Sixes format

THere are various formats for SixesGolf, but in the main, both players in each team hit tee shots on each hole. The best tee shot is selected by the team and then they alternate play of all subsequent shots required to complete the hole.

Group stages

• Matches will be played over all six holes with one point awarded for each hole won. The winner of each match will be the player with most points at the end of six holes.

• For the group table: win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, loss = 0 points.

• In the case of a tie or ties in the group table after all matches have been played, each team’s total points differential from the three matches (similar to goal difference) will be used to determine the qualifiers to the knockout stages.

• If this does not resolve the tie, then this will be decided by a hole-by-hole playoff on a shortened playoff hole on hole 18.

Knockout stages

• Matches will be played over as many holes as is required to determine a winner.

• Any match that is still tied after six holes will be continued by repeated play of a “shortened playoff hole” on hole 18 until a result is determined. (Source: europeantour.com)
