6 Admittance and mode of play-offs Admittance: Lanes for play-off: Mode and ranking: Scorecards for play-off: First 16 women and 32 men according to the results of qualification rounds (first three competition days) are qualified. For equal scores at the final 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 (WMF 2.3 worldwide international sport rules, article 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. Also among the players qualified through suddendeath the ranking order is decided by the above rules, not by the results of the sudden-death. The complete table for the finals of women and men is presented on next pages. If any qualified player doesn t appear to the start for any reason whatsoever, there is no replacement by the next player of the ranking list of qualification rounds. His/her place in the table remains empty and other players keep their original places. feltgolf / course B The 9 lanes with the lowest average score after second competition day. miniaturegolf / course A The 9 lanes with the highest average score after second competition day. Only the results of the players of the best six teams of both categories after second competition day are considered for the calculation of the averages. Single lanes can be changed by the tournament jury for severe reasons; the decision will be published after the second competition day. All play-offs 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 B (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 of team competition days. Layout of scorecards - see next pages Invitation Minigolf World Championships 2009 update page 6 of 16

7 Final abandonment during play-offs: In case of final abandonment during any round before finals (until all matches of the round in one category have been completed), the remaining players are ranked according to their total results of qualification rounds of team competition days. In case of final abandonment during final match and match for rank 3: The current leader of the match is the winner. Unexpected conditions during team competition: The team competition is finished latest at the end of third competition day; all fully completed team rounds are counted. In case of unexpected conditions during play-offs 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 men and to start with 16 men. Second option is to change the number of lanes for each round if necessary. The decisions for changes are done by the jury of the championships. Penalty system: Coaches: No penalties from team competition are carried forward to the play-offs. 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. All penalties are also announced via loudspeakers. Maximum of two coaches per nation with qualified players are allowed on each course during the play-offs, regardless of the number of participating players of the nation.
