Here is an addendum of further explanation of how match-play works for this tournament:
Result of Hole and Match
(1) Winning a Hole. A player wins a hole when:
-The player completes the hole in fewer strokes (including strokes made and
penalty strokes) than their opponent, or
-The opponent concedes the hole
(2) Tying a Hole. A hole is tied (also known as “halved” or "pushed") when:
-The player and opponent complete the hole in the same number of strokes
(including strokes made and penalty strokes).
(3) Winning a Match. A player wins a match when:
-The player leads the opponent by more holes than remain to be played,
-The opponent concedes the match, or
-The opponent is disqualified or forfeits.
(4) Extending a Tied Match/SUDDEN DEATH. If a match is tied after the final hole:
-The match is extended into Sudden Death, one hole at a time until one player
scores a better score than the other player.
I hope that this addendum gives you all a little better understanding of what match play rules are for this tournament.
