Back Nine Tournament · The Rules

Winter 2026 League - Session I (Flex League)

American Dunes · Oct 1 – Dec 10 · 10 rounds

The field

Every team plays the same course and the same setup as everyone else that week. Everyone plays their own ball, and on each hole the team takes its lowest score. Your team plays net. Each player gets strokes off their own handicap on their own ball, and on each hole the team counts the lowest net score. Right now, rounds in this event don't change anyone's handicap. What you shot is on the Gross tab.

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.

Fair play

Same field. Low ball counts.

• Every team plays the same setup as everyone else that week.
• Everyone plays their own ball, and the team takes its lowest score on each hole.
• Scored net. Each player gets strokes off their own handicap, and on each hole the team counts the lowest net score.

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.
