Rules and points:

1. WDF playing rules shall apply throughout the Nordic Cup events. 2. The Nordic Cup is divided into a Men’s Nordic Cup and a Woman’s Nordic Cup 3. The Nordic Cup consists of three separate events; singles, pairs and four-person team. 4. The singles and pairs are played on a knockout basis. The four-person team discipline is played on a round-robin basis where the 2 best teams in each group will advance to a knockout format. 5. In the singles and pairs event, the playing format is best of 7 legs. If the two players/pairs reach 3 legs each in the match, the order of throw in the deciding leg will be determined by a ‘bull’ shoot. 6. In the team event, the playing format is best of 17 legs. The order of play will be as follows

Leg Player Player Leg Player Player team 1 team 2 team 1 team 2 1 1 2 9 4 4 2 2 1 10 1 1 3 3 4 11 2 3 4 4 3 12 3 2 5 2 2 13 1 3 6 1 4 14 2 4 7 4 1 15 3 1 8 3 3 16 4 2

If the teams reach 8 legs each in the match, each team shall select one player to play the deciding leg. The order of throw is determined by a ‘bull’ shoot. 7. If two teams are being tied with equal points in the round-robin group, the comparison of leg difference will be used to resolve the tie. If the teams are equal on leg difference, then the result of the actual match between the two teams in the round-robin matchplay shall be used to break the tie. 8. If three teams are being tied with equal points and leg difference, each team shall nominate one player to play in the group tie break. All three players shall play on the same board, and the first player to win 2 legs shall be the winner of the group tie break.
