Back Nine League · The Rules

Scramble Series

TPC Sawgrass (Back 9) · Sep 7 – Oct 19 · 6 rounds

The field

Every team plays the same course and the same setup as everyone else that week. Everyone on the team hits, you pick the best shot, and all of you play from there — one ball, one card, one team score. Your team plays net, off one team number built from your handicaps — it comes off your team's score, and nobody's own handicap is touched. The Field tab shows the math.

How it’s set up.

How it works

You earn points on where you finish each week. The Points Race is this league's season standing — not the cumulative total on the leaderboard. Local play does not feed a national season total.

Format

Nine-hole, two-person scramble. Six rounds, a different course every round. Scored NET on the Back Nine Bridge — your two handicaps make one team number, weighted toward the better player, and it comes off your team's score. Both partners tee off, you play the best ball, and the team turns in one score.

Monday Nights

Teams play Monday evenings in two waves — 7:00 to 9:00 and 9:00 to 11:00 PM. Your team keeps the same wave all season, so you play alongside the same teams in the bays each week. Your host sets your wave when you register.

In Full Swing Compete

Registering here holds your spot — you still have to register in Full Swing Compete, and that is the step teams miss. The CAPTAIN creates the team in Full Swing Compete and invites the second player from inside it; your teammate cannot join on their own. Search the event code S-G-YUQ on your bay screen or in the app. Three mulligans per round.

Fair play

Same field. One card.

• Every team plays the same setup as everyone else that week.
• Everyone hits, you play the best shot, and the team posts one card.
• Scored net, off one team number built from your handicaps — it levels the field.

Honest rounds clear without a word.

At the bay

• Log into Full Swing Compete first, then launch the round your host shares for this event.
• The handicap box at the bay is optional — nothing you type there reaches your Back Nine score.
• Rough hole or tech trouble? You can stop — but finish the hole out. An unfinished hole records no score, and there's no redo.
