BALLOTED MEDAL TIMES
When competitions have been balloted for start times players must only play in their allocated ballot slot. If for any reason a member requires to change their balloted time this may only be done with the permission of a member of the match committee, or the professional if they have control of the start sheet(usually within 1 week of the competition date). To arrange mutual exchanges of tee times without authorisation is a breach of rule 6.3 (penalty-disqualification from competition)
