THE THREE FORMATS
Better Ball

Each two-man team plays Better Ball. For each hole, the better score between the two two-man teams will be combined and count as the foursome’s score.
Handicap: 85% applied to both players

Scramble
Partners: A+B, C+D
Each two-man team plays a Scramble.
Handicap: 35% of the low-handicap player + 15% of the high-handicap player

Modified Chapman
Partners: A+D, B+C
Each two-man team plays Modified Chapman.
Handicap: 50% of combined handicap

TEAM STRUCTURE & FORMAT PAIRINGS
Players may form their own four-man teams. Partners for each format will be determined by handicap, with players on each team assigned a letter:
A = Lowest Handicap → D = Highest Handicap
Rules for each format will be provided in the Notice to Players on tournament day.

SCORING
For each hole, the better score between the two two-man teams will be combined and count as the foursome’s score.
Example: During the Better Ball portion, if A+C score a 4 and B+D score a 3, the four-man team records a 3 for that hole.

HANDICAPS
Players will use their Handicap Index current as of the close of registration. The team’s net score will be calculated using the handicap allowance for each format listed above.

FLIGHTS & PAIRINGS
Flights will be of equal size when possible and based on aggregate Handicap Indices. Pairings will also be arranged by aggregate Handicap Indices.

TEES
Each team member must play from the tee box for which they qualify, regardless of whether teammates qualify for different tees.

PRIZES & TIES

PLAYER POINTS
All players will receive 3 points for participating.
1st Place: +4 points
2nd Place: +2 points
3rd Place: +1 point
