Based on your handicap or the average of your tournament play quotas you are assigned a “quota”. The higher the quota, the better the player. Your goal is to score as high as you can in relation to your quota, where points are: Bogey = 1, Par = 2, Birdie = 4, Eagle = 8, Albatross = You Win well done
Let’s say you’re a 15 quota. That means if you scored 12 points, your NET score would be (-2). If you were competing against a 12 quota who also scored 12 points, their NET score would be (0) and they would beat you
Players that have played a minimum two (2) rounds will have their quotas determined by the average of their quotas in tournament play. Players that have not met the minimum threshold will have their quotas determined via their current handicap, leading edge AI, a patent-pending algorithm, and the gut instinct of the commish. Often newbies don’t come close to their quota, and the reason is we don’t want sandbaggers to win their first event when we’ve had journeyman scratch and claw their way for years to have a chance at victory.
YES! 2 primarily. 1) NO GIMMES. We must protect the integrity of the field. If that ball doesn’t go in that cup, you don’t get points
2) If a ball is OB we play it like a red stake (stroke and distance) but you must take a drop.
Preferred lies, local rules, and other course specific rulings will be decided by the commish based on what he thinks will give him the best chance to win
“It’s not who is the best golfer; but which golfer had their best day”. This format allows for anyone to compete and by nature of the format means you can’t hurt yourself or go backwards in scoring. Once you have a double bogey pick up and move on. This is also effective for pace of play.
We use the app Squabbit to track live scoring throughout competitive play. Make sure at least ONE person from each group has the app on their phone.
