Can someone explain how results are worked out via countback when scores are tied.

[TD="class: ssm, bgcolor: #FFFFDF, align: left"]A method of tie-breaker used for competitions scored by the Stableford points system. ![]() Typically, Count-Back is invoked only if there is a tie among the competitors finishing with the most points. Ties between (say) fourth and fifth place finishers remain ties and their spoils are equally divided. However, Count-Back may be used to resolve all ties if this is established by the competition officer before the event. ![]() To perform a Count-Back, sum up the Stableford Point totals for everyone sharing the tie over the final nine (9) holes of the event. If this results in a single competitor having the largest point total, then he/she is the victor and the process stops. ![]() If multiple competitors share the largest point figure after the initial Count-Back, then continue the Count-Back process by eliminating any competitors whose back-nine totals were less than that largest amount. ![]() Then perform a Count-Back of the remaining competitors over the final six (6) holes played. If this fails to resolve a single victor, then repeat the process over the final three (3) holes. If still necessary, then resort to the final hole. ![]() If an outright victor cannot be resolved after all four stages of Count-Back, the process continues as follows: ![]() 1) Best Stableford score on the single most difficult hole of the course (to make par). This will be the hole designated with a " 1 " in the line bearing the label " HCP " or " Handicap ". ![]() 2) Best Stableford score across the three (3) most difficult holes of the course. ![]() 3) Best Stableford score across the six (6) most difficult holes of the course. ![]() 4) Best Stableford score across the nine (9) most difficult holes of the course. ![]() If there's still a tie after all eight stages of Count-Back then you'd simply arrange a fight to the death using broken golf club shafts because you're pulling my leg. Nobody has a tie after all these stages. It just doesn't happen. |
I just hope the OP hasn't been waiting in the clubhouse for a full and final answer!
Jeepers buddy you went a long way back for this one ... 2008 ????
Sorry again Homer
SI 1 always the most difficult hole?
Pours a glass of red and settles back and waits.
