If the course cannot be made available on the scheduled dates and there are no arrangements by the host team to play the match at an alternate site, the host team shall be deemed to have forfeited the match in accordance with the procedures of Interclub Rule 18 (Forfeitures). The circumstances pertaining to such forfeitures shall be reviewed by the Interclub Committee and may result in disqualification from future Interclub competition. Whenever possible, make-up matches should take place on the day the teams normally played their matches during the regular season. If this cannot be accomplished due to conflicts by one or both teams, the captains must strive to reschedule the match on another day.
