TEAM versus TEAM

To view the Point Parameters form, choose “Point Calculation Parameters” from the Setup menu and select the Team vs Team tab.

Specify points to award for team versus team competition. Points are awarded to each team.

Teams play each other in X-somes

If you award team vs team points this parameter determines the make up of the team competition. In other words, if teams play each other in foursomes, the team make up is 2 players (as a team) versus 2 players. If teams play each other in sixsomes, the team make up is 3 players (as a team) versus 3 players. If teams play each other in eightsomes, the team make up is 4 players (as a team) versus 4 players.

Divide team points equally among members

If you mark this option any “team” points will NOT be assigned to the team, but will be divided equally among the members on the team and assigned as individual points to each team member. This applies for both Team Aggregate Competition and Team Best Ball Competition.

Aggregate Competition

Specify the number of points to award for team competition. League Manager calculates points as follows:

You enter the hole scores for each of the competing players.
Team handicaps are combined and the lowest team handicap plays from scratch. League Manager applies the team’s net handicap strokes according to each handicap hole on the course.
The total of each team’s scores are compared and points awarded accordingly. The points are split for ties.

You may set the amount of points awarded for:

Points per hole. The team with the lowest total net score for the hole wins the points.
Points per match (Medal Play “Best net”). The team with the lowest total net score for the match wins the points.
Points per match (Match play “Most holes”). The team that wins the most holes in the match receives these points.

Example:

John Smith and Ted Rogers are playing as a team against Tim Jones and Fred Simpson—1 point per hole, 5 points for medal and 3 points for match play. They shoot the following scores:

Hole	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	Total
Par	4	4	4	3	5	3	4	4	5	36
Hole Handicap	4	8	6	10	18	12	14	2	16
Player Name										Score	Handicap	Net
Smith, John	4	4	4	5	3	5	3	5	5	38	01	37
Rogers, Ted	5	6	6	5	5	6	4	6	5	48	11	37

Jones, Tim	4	5	5	4	5	4	3	5	4	39	02	37
Simpson, Fred	5	5	5	5	5	6	4	4	5	44	07	37

Jones and Simpson have a combined handicap of 9, (2+7)

Smith and Rogers have a combined handicap of 12, (1+11)

Smith and Rogers (as a team) receive 3 strokes (12-9). A stroke is given to Smith and Rogers on hole 8, 1, and 5, the 2nd, 4th and 6th handicap holes.

The scores are adjusted and points are awarded as follows:

Hole	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	Total
Par	4	4	4	3	5	3	4	4	5	36
Hole Handicap	4	8	6	10	18	12	14	2	16
Player Name										Medal	Match	Total
Smith, John	4	4	4	5	3	5	3	5	5
Rogers, Ted	5	6	6	5	5	6	4	6	5
Aggregate Score	*8	10	*9	10	8	11	7	*10	10
Points	1.0	0.5	1.0		1.0		0.5			2.50		6.50

Jones, Tim	4	5	5	4	5	4	3	5	4
Simpson, Fred	5	5	5	5	5	6	4	4	5
Aggregate Score	9	10	10	9	10	10	7	9	9
Points		0.5		1.0		1.0	0.5	1.0	1.0	2.50	3.0	10.50

Smith/Rogers wins holes 1,3,5 and splits hole 2 and 7

Smith/Rogers wins 4 holes so they win no match points

Smith/Rogers’ combined net scores equal their opponents, so they split the medal points. (5/2)=2.50

Jones/Simpson wins holes 4,6,8,9, and splits hole 2 and 7

Jones/Simpson wins 5 holes so they win the match points, 3.0

Jones/Simpson’s combined net scores equal their opponents, so they split the medal points. (5/2)=2.50

Best Ball Competition

If you do a team Best Ball Competition in addition to points for Player vs Player, then you may need to change how handicap strokes are applied so that strokes are applied and points calculated correctly.

Award hole by hole points to the team that has the player with the best ball. League Manager calculates points as follows:

You enter the hole scores for each competing player.
League Manager applies the player’s net handicap strokes according to each handicap hole on the course. The player with the lowest handicap plays from scratch. If you are awarding Player vs Player points as well, you may need to change how handicap strokes are applied so League Manager correctly applies the strokes for each type of point (player, team) awarded.
The best ball on each hole is used to determine points. Points are split for ties.

You may set the amount of points awarded for:

Points per hole. The team with the best ball for the hole wins the points. You also have the option to post these points as player points NOT team points.
Points per match (Medal play “Best net”). The team’s best net score on each hole is added together to form a team total net score. The team with the best total net wins the points.
Points per match (Match Play “Most holes”). The team that wins the most holes in the match receives these points.

Example:

John Smith and Ted Rogers are playing against Tim Jones and Fred Simpson—1 point per hole. They shoot the following:

Hole	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	Total
Par	4	5	3	4	4	3	4	5	4	36
Hole Handicap	9	1	15	13	5	17	7	3	11
Player Name										Score	Handicap	Net
Smith, John	4	6	3	6	4	3	5	5	5	41	05	36
Rogers, Ted	4	7	5	6	6	4	5	7	6	50	15	35

Jones, Tim	4	7	6	6	5	5	5	7	6	51	17	34
Simpson, Fred	8	7	7	6	6	5	6	7	6	58	18	40

Smith has the low handicap of 5. He will play from scratch.

Rogers receives 10 strokes (15-5=10).

Jones receives 12 strokes (17-5=12).

Simpson receives 13 strokes (18-5=13).

The scores are adjusted and points are awarded as follows:
