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 gross — no handicap comes off your score.

Scoring

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

18-hole, 2-person scramble over eight rounds, a new course each round. Scored straight GROSS — no handicap is applied. Both partners tee off, you play the best ball, and the team turns in one 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.
