规则裁定 DECISIONS：6-3a/3

　　发球时间；比洞赛中两名球员均迟到

　　比洞赛中，规则6-3的注解条款有效，A和B应该在早上9点开始比赛。A到达第一发球台的时间是早上9：01；B比A晚到，到达时间是9：03。该如何裁定？

　　两球员都不符合免除因没有按规定时间发球而受的处罚的情况，每一球员要受第一洞负的处罚（规则6-3的注解）。所以，按照公正的理念（规则1-4），第一洞打成平手，比赛在第二洞正式开始。

Time of Starting; Both Players in Match are Late

In a match-play competition with the Note to Rule 6-3 in effect, A and B were to start their match at 9 a.m. A arrives at the 1st tee at 9:01 a.m., but before B, who arrives at 9:03 a.m. What is the ruling?

If neither player had circumstances which would warrant waiving the penalty for failure to start on time, each player would incur a penalty of loss of the 1st hole (Note to Rule 6-3). Therefore, in equity (Rule 1-4), the 1st hole is deemed halved and the match would commence on the 2nd hole.
