It will be 27 holes, broken up as follows:

First 9 = greensomes: Both players tee off, choose which drive they will play and then play alternate shot from there on.
Second 9 = foursomes: partners alternate the tee boxes, one player will always tee off the odd holes and the other on the even holes, then it will be alternate shot until the ball drops. Third 9 = a normal betterball format.
