Mode of team championships 


Admittance: All registered teams participate in the team championship in their respective 

categories. 

Mode and ranking: The scores of all finished rounds in the category are added together for the 

ranking of team championships. If the scheduled six rounds of the team 

competition have not been finished by the end of day 2, the team competition 

will be continued on the day 3 and the intermediate round of individual 

strokeplay championships will possibly be cancelled. Deadline for the end of 

team competition is 02.00 pm on day 3. 

Mode of individual strokeplay championships 

Admittance: All registered players participate in the individual strokeplay championship 

in their respective categories. 

Qualification for the final round: 

The best 9 women and the best 15 men after the intermediate round and 

players with equal scores at the cut. 

Mode and ranking: All finished rounds of the team competition and the intermediate round are 

the preliminary rounds of the individual strokeplay championships. If the 

team competitions have not been finished in scheduled time, the 

intermediate round will possibly be cancelled or cut. The final round is 

played in pairings of three players. The scores of the preliminary rounds and 

the final round are added together for the ranking of individual strokeplay 

championships. If the intermediate round has not been finished in scheduled 

time, the final round can be cut to be played on less than 36 lanes. 

Mode of individual matchplay championships 

Admittance: First 16 women and 32 men according to the results of the qualification 

rounds (team competition rounds + intermediate round of individual 

strokeplay championships) are qualified. 

For equal scores at the cut there will be a sudden-death beginning at lane 1 

at the course played last by this category. 

In case of equal scores among the qualified players, the ranking order of the 

players and thus the places in the final table are defined by the WMF sport 

rules (chapter 2.3.9.4) for scoring and play-offs. If there still is a tie between 

two or more players after counting all the differences, a coin toss or other 

way of draw has to be made for deciding these ranks. The mentioned WMF 

sport rules apply even to the players qualified by sudden-death – their 

ranking order is decided by those rules, not by the results of the suddendeath. 

The results of the final round of individual strokeplay competition do not 

affect the rankings for the matchplay finals. The grid for matchplay 

championships is defined according to the results after the intermediate 

round. 

The complete table for the finals of women and men is presented on the next 

pages. 



If any qualified player doesn’t appear at the start for any reason whatsoever, 

there is no replacement by the next player of the ranking list after 

qualification rounds. His/her place in the table remains empty and other 

players keep their original places. 

Lanes to be played: 9 lanes concrete / course B: Lanes 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 

9 lanes miniaturegolf / course A: 

The 9 lanes with the highest average score at the Nations Cup. 

Only the results of the players of the best eight teams are considered for the 

calculation of the averages. Single lanes can be changed by the tournament 

jury for good reasons. The decision regarding the lanes which are played will 

be published at the coach meeting. 

Mode and ranking: All rounds are played as matchplay. 

Matches until semi-finals are played with shotgun start. 

For starting lanes see play-off tables. 

Semi-finals, finals and matches for rank 3 are started at lane 1 of course A (in 

order: women, men) one match after the other. 

The higher-ranked player after the preliminary rounds in the pairing always 

plays first on the starting lane of the match. After that the leading player in 

the match always starts the next lane. If there is currently no leader in the 

match the playing order remains unchanged until there is a leader and thus 

possibly a new starting player. This also applies for the first lane of the 

sudden-death playoffs in the matchplay. The following lanes are played 

according to the general sudden-death rule. 

Number of won lanes decides about the winner (matchplay mode), who 

proceeds to the next round. In case of equal number of won lanes after full 

18 lanes (or fewer if the number of played lanes has to be cut due to any 

reason) the match is continued at next of the chosen lanes until one player 

wins one lane. 

A match has to be stopped earlier than after 18 lanes, as soon as one player 

has already won the match mathematically. 

Play at a lane has to be stopped as soon there is a winner for the lane. 

Losers of the same round are finally ranked according to their total results of 

qualification rounds. 

Scorecards for play-off: Layout of scorecards - see next pages 

Final abandonment during individual matchplay finals: 

In case of final abandonment during any round before finals (until all 

matches of the round in one category have been completed): The matchplay 

championship of such category is completely cancelled and there is no 

ranking at all. 

In case of final abandonment during final match and/or match for rank 3: 

Both finalists will receive a gold medal and/or both players in the match for 

rank 3 will receive a bronze medal. 



Bad weather conditions during the competition: 

The team competition is finished latest at 02.00 pm on third competition day; 

all fully completed team rounds are counted for the respective category. 

For individual strokeplay competition please see the mode (above). 

In case of bad weather conditions during the individual matchplay finals the 

rounds are cancelled in a way, that a chance for a real final always remains. 

First option is to cut the first round for male and to start with 16 male 

players. 

Second option is to change the number of lanes for each round if necessary. 

The minimum number of lanes played per round is 12. It is possible to play 

same lanes more than once during a round, if this helps to complete the 

competition (for example 2 x 6 lanes). It is also possible that these lanes are 

on one course only (for example 2 x 6 lanes miniaturegolf covered by tents), 

but if possible, the option of playing both courses must be preferred. 

The decisions for any changes are done by the jury of the championships. 

Penalty system: The penalty system in the team competition and individual strokeplay 

competition is the standard system described in WMF worldwide 

international sport rules chapter 2.3.18. 

All penalties from the qualification rounds of the individual strokeplay 

competition are carried forward to the individual strokeplay final round. 

The following penalty system is applied for the individual matchplay finals: 

No penalties from the qualifications rounds are carried forward to the 

matchplay finals. 

First step is a written pre-warning with no consequences. 

For all following violations the player in question loses the next unfinished 

lane (meaning the next lane, which has no winner yet). 

Referees have the possibility to skip the pre-warning level in case of severe 

or tactical violations. 

Coaches: Maximum of two coaches per nation are allowed on each course during all 

competitions, regardless of the number of participating players of the nation.
