Scottish Inter Club Championship relaunched with a new format for 2026!

Having run the Scottish Inter Club Championship in its revised format for a few years, we listened to your feedback and acknowledge that in a busy calendar it was lost as an event. The remit of the Scottish Inter Club Championship is to help clubs foster a feeling of club comradery and contribution towards the success of a club within its membership. Having listened to your feedback, we have decided that it should take place alongside the CompassSport Cup/ Trophy qualification event in February each year and will act as an encouragement for clubs to get their members to participate even if they consider the CompassSport Final too far to travel or do not believe they have an opportunity to qualify.

As such the rules of the Scottish Inter Club Championship are being drawn up as we speak but the broad outline will be as follows:-

• There will be three divisions in the Scottish Inter Club Championships – Large, Medium and Small Clubs – based on the membership size of each club.
• The event will take place on the same day as the CompassSport Cup/Trophy qualifier.
• The Large Clubs will count 20 scores, the Medium clubs will count 10 and Small clubs count 6. This should mean that no club has to turn out their entire club to get on the scoreboard.
• Points will be awarded 100,99,98, etc across the classes.
• There will be no limit to the number of scorers in each class.
• All colour coded courses will count for the Scottish Inter Club Championships (including Light Green and Yellow which do not count for the CompassSport Cup/Trophy Qualifier)

We are hoping that this format should allow our smaller clubs to encourage participation in the day.

The Scottish Inter Club Championship results will be published in the week after the event and trophies will be awarded at the Scottish Individual Championship event in May.
