CLAIMS: In match play, if a doubt or dispute arises, the matter must be settled before any player in the match plays from the next teeing ground. No later claim shall be considered by the committee unless the committee is satisfied that the opponent knew she was giving wrong information.
DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAY: A player shall not discontinue play unless she believes there is danger from lightning. Bad weather is not of itself a good reason for discontinuing play. However, if players discontinue match play by agreement, they may resume play the same day or on a subsequent day from where it was discontinued.

If players discontinue match play by agreement on the deadline that the match is to be completed, the committee will toss a coin to determine the winner.
