USGA rules will apply with modification set by the NGTA (Night Golf Tournament Association). It is a 2 Man (or woman) Best Ball format which means each player will play their own ball and use the best score of the 2 players on each hole. 2 teams on each hole will hold each other accountable.

Night Golf is much harder than golf during the day. It is hard to judge distance and the breaks on the green but golfers will love the new challenge and competition.
