Format
The format was revised so that there were singles matches on both afternoons rather than two sessions of singles on the second day. On Thursday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by eight singles matches in the afternoon. Four foursomes matches were played on the Friday morning with a further eight singles in the afternoon. In all, 24 matches were played.
Each of the 24 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole, each side earned half a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 12½ points won the competition.
Teams
Eight college golfers from the United States and Europe participated in the event.
Michael Carter award
