Following a joint meeting of the Championship Committee and the four team captains, at which a number of altnerative scenarios regarding the schedule for the week's matches were discussed, it was agreed to declare the foursomes matches halved in the first series of games.
This decision was made with the fog beginning to lift, and so the way was clear for the first day's singles to take place.
