Back Nine League · The Rules

Waterford Lakes Fall TPC Scramble and Football Season

TPC Sawgrass · Sep 7 – Nov 1 · 8 rounds

Flights

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. If your host runs divisions, your two handicaps are added only to group teams of a similar level — inside your division it is still straight gross.

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

Eight weeks, two-person scramble, a different TPC course every week. Both partners tee off, you play the best ball, and the team turns in one card. Scored straight GROSS — no handicap is applied.

The Schedule

Week 1 · Cardinals Kickoff · TPC Scottsdale Week 2 · Saints Sunday Showdown · TPC Louisiana Week 3 · Patriots Prep Rally · TPC River Highlands Week 4 · Skol Showdown · TPC Twin Cities Week 5 · The Cowboys Football Classic · TPC Craig Ranch Week 6 · Da Bears Monsters of the Midwest · TPC Deere Run Week 7 · Silver & Black Showdown · TPC Summerlin Week 8 · Super Sunday Championship · TPC Sawgrass Season runs Sep 7 – Nov 1. Play your round any time Monday through Sunday of that week.

Sim Rules

10-foot gimmes · terrain penalty ON · 3 mulligans, for tech issues only. Mulligans are there for a simulator glitch, not a bad shot — if the sim misreads a putt or a shot, take the mulligan and grab video if you can.

Standings

Points, not strokes. Each week your team earns points based on where you finish on that week's course, and the season is decided on TOTAL POINTS over the eight weeks — not cumulative strokes. A bad week doesn't end your season, and a good one doesn't finish it. The live leaderboard here shows each week's scores. Your season points standings are kept and posted by your host at Waterford Lakes.

Late Rounds

You can finish a round after its week closes — it still counts toward the overall season standings. It is NOT eligible for that week's prize.

Flights

If enough teams register, the league splits into flights by skill level. Each flight plays the same weekly schedule and competes for its own championship.

Entry

$150 per member team · $399 per non-member team. Split payment is available — each partner can pay their half. Capped at 20 teams (40 players). Teams may join up to two weeks into the season; registration closes September 20.

Prizes

1st and 2nd in the top flight, plus 1st in the second flight. Weekly side contests — closest to the pin, long drive, raffles — and a weekly NFL confidence pool with Back Nine credit on the line.

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.
• The format is the equalizer; your team's result stands.

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.
• Rough hole or tech trouble? You can stop — but finish the hole out. An unfinished hole records no score, and there's no redo.
