规则裁定 DECISIONS： 6-3a/2

　　开球时间，所有的比赛者必须出席

　　在比杆赛中，委员会安排Ａ、Ｂ和Ｃ在早上9时开球。A和B在规定的时间内出席，他们在发球区发球后，C在早上9:02分赶到达,及时赶上正确的发球顺序。该如何裁定？

　　Ｃ没有按照委员会规定的时间开始打球（规则6-3a），要被取消打球资格，除非是在规则33-7规定的免除处罚的场合。

　　所有的同一编组内的比赛者必须准时即早上9时出席并准备打球。跟打球顺序无关。

　　如果委员会采用规则6-3的注解作为比赛的条件，在委员会规定发球时间的5分钟内可以进行发球。该案例中，比赛在早上9时开始，C受罚两杆的处罚，而不用受取消资格的处罚。

Time of Starting; All Competitors Must Be Present

In a stroke-play competition, A, B and C were drawn by the Committee to play together starting at 9 a.m. A and B were present at the appointed time. C arrived at 9:02 a.m. after A and B had played from the teeing ground, but just in time to play in the correct order. What is the ruling?

C is disqualified for failure to start at the time laid down by the Committee (Rule 6-3a) unless circumstances warrant waiving the penalty under Rule 33-7. All competitors in a group must be present and ready to play at the time laid down by the Committee, in this case 9 a.m. The order of play is not relevant. If the Committee had adopted the Note to Rule 6-3 as a condition of the competition, the five-minute period would have started at the time laid down by the Committee. Therefore, in this case the time started at 9 a.m. and C would incur a penalty of two strokes, rather than be subject to disqualification.
