Select drive alternate shot (Greensome Stableford)

Both players hit a tee shot. The best shot is selected, and the player whose ball was not selected hits the next shot. The team alternates shots until the ball is holed. Each ball must be played as it lies, and the ball that is selected may not be switched during the remainder of the hole.
The scoring in Stableford competitions is made by points awarded in relation to a fixed score:

The team who scores the highest number of points wins the tournament.

Countries that are not playing the Audi quattro Cup format (Greensome Stableford) in their qualification tournaments can still register a winning team to the World Final, however, due to reasons of fairness to all other teams, this team will only be able to play out of competition in the Audi quattro Cup World Final.

The player with the lower course handicap is allowed 60 percent of his course handicap. The player with the higher course handicap is allowed 40 percent of his course handicap. The maximum course handicap difference between both players cannot be higher than 20.

Golfers can only participate at an Audi quattro Cup tournament, if they are actively enrolled in the World Handicap System (WHS)
