Although there will no longer be the alternative day option for EWGA medals, clubs may continue to play their CLUB competitions over two days if they so wish. Clubs could put on two EWGA medals, i.e. midweek and weekend and run these in conjunction with the one club competition. However, clubs should state in their conditions of competition which card would be accepted for the club competition should a player take part in both EWGA medals.
