Editing Match play (section)

==Alternative forms of match play==
Forms of match play that allow three or more players to compete individually include "Irish match play", "Rowan match play" and [[skins game|skins]].

Another form is "medal match play", which combines the head-to-head match play style with medal or [[stroke play]] scores. Each match between two players or teams of players is determined by the 18-hole medal score instead of on a hole-by-hole basis. The advantage is that ties in group or pool play can be broken by overall medal scores. This format was used in the [[Piccadilly Medal]], the [[Liggett & Myers Open Match Play Championship]], the 1986 [[Seiko-Tucson Match Play Championship]], the [[Dunhill Cup]], [[World Golf Final]], and starting in 2018, albeit with a nine-hole medal score, the [[Belgian Knockout]].
