Game Modus

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:

More than one over fixed score or no score returned: 0
One over fixed score: 1
Fixed score: 2
One under fixed score: 3
Two under fixed score: 4
Three under fixed score: 5

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.

Allowance

The player with the lower handicap is allowed 60 percent of his/her handicap. The player with the higher handicap is allowed 40 percent of his/her handicap. The maximum index 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)

Golfers, who qualified and competed on an Audi quattro Cup World Final are not allowed to qualify to another World Final for 3 years. i.E.: if competed at the 2023 Audi quattro Cup World Final, the earliest year to re qualify would be 2026.

Eligibility

The winning team of each regional Audi quattro Cup final is eligible to participate in the National Final. This award is non-transferrable. The minimum age is 18 years. The maximum handicap is 36.0 (index) for individual players and the maximum cumulative handicap is 56.0 (index) for the team. The maximum index handicap difference between both players cannot be higher than 20.  

Each individual country is entitled to apply different handicap rules.

The players must submit an updated proof of their handicap, as well as their World Handicap System I.D. number to the tournament director.
A reduction of any individual’s handicap to the required maximum handicap is not permitted.

Competition

The net scores are converted into Stableford points. The team with most Stableford points wins. In the event of a tie the better net score of handicap holes 1-18 in that order will decide the winner.

The selection of holes takes place in accordance with the course’s handicap holes, with the most difficult hole followed by the second most difficult hole, etc. If there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by coin toss.

Different scorecard playoff rules utilized by countries in the Audi quattro Cup tournament series are allowed for regional or qualifying tournaments. However, these rules must be clearly stated under "Local Rules" in the "Rules & Regulations" section of the tournament invitation.

Competition committee: Director of Golf of the local golf cub, Head Golf Professional of the local golf club and an Audi representative.
