The first round of the knockout was on 25th July at Hill Barn.
There was a random draw of players from the top 16 in the table so far. 5 games were played on the day. The other 3 were either played or conceded by 28th August, the day before the Quarter finals. The quarter finals were held on a wet and windy day at Chichester Cathedral on 9th August. The semi finals will be played at Worldham.
Subsequent matches will be as in the table below. The draw for the quarter and semi finals will also be random.

Match play format notes
- Played as Match play.
- Higher handicapper gets shots off the lower handicapper.
- These shots are given based on the stroke index of the hole.
- Full handicap difference.
- Holes can be conceded.
- But, if playing your match at a TAGs event, you have to putt out anyway.
- … Assuming you can score.
- If still all square at the 18th then we’ll determine the winner based on countback – most holes won on the back 9, 6, 3 or 1.
- For the Final we may be allowed to continue the match past the 18th.
Organising your match if not played at a TAGS event
Players are responsible for agreeing with their opponent where and when to play. If the match is not completed before the second round the committee will decide the player to go through to the next round, unless one player offers a bye to the other.
Similar instructions apply for the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Finals.
