Category 1 & 2 - points awarded to the top 8 players in each section.

For Order of Merit points calculations, a player's total points accumulated over the Order of Merit season are divided by the number of 'Counting' events in each category as indicated above eg. 4 for Women, 6 for Men etc. If a player receives Order of Merit points in more than 6 events, their 6 best points scores are used for the calculation with the lowest points score being eliminated. 
If players are tied the points will be shared, no countback. Points will be rounded to two decimal points.

Order of Merit Titles

The winner of the Women's Open, Women's Masters, Men's Open and Men's Masters titles will be awarded the Canterbury Order of Merit trophies which will be presented at the Tour Championship.
