Five 9-hole matches will be played within each flight. Scoring for these matches will be based on the following point system:

The team accumulating the highest point total in each flight for the five matches will be declared The Flight Winner. The team with the second highest point total will be declared the Flight Runners-Up. Ties for the flight winners and flight runner-up will be broken by the results of the earlier head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
