PRELIMINARY ROUNDS
Preliminary rounds of the Club & Racquet Challenge are contested over 9 holes of Canadian Fours format golf and the first to 35 points in doubles tennis with tennis points won divided by 7.

Finals are contested over 18 holes and first to 35 tennis points with tennis points won divided by 5.

TENNIS RULES
The toss of a coin will decide the serving team.
Maintain the same serving order for the entire match with one player commencing serve to the forehand court, his partner commencing service to the backhand court.
Service alternates after each 5 serves until one team reaches 35 points.
Both teams then divide their "number of points won" total by 7 to find their tennis score.
7 tennis points equate to 1 golf hole with whole multiples of 7 points required for each golf hole equivalent.
Players change ends at the completion of each 20 points (5 serves for each player).

GOLF RULES

Whomever didn't hit the tee shot plays the second shot using the preferred ball.
Score 1 point for each hole won outright.
If the match is halved after adding the golf and tennis scores together a countback to the last golf hole won outright will determine the winning pair.
