“Of that number, the 10 best men’s results and the four best women’s results will be counted as the overall team achievement which will determine which team will lift this prestigious trophy,” he said on Thursday.
According to him, the competition format is `System 36 – Stroke Play’, and it also offers individual prizes to the three best male players and the three best female players from each team.
