Friday Night
The Draft
We'll hold a live snake draft to build the two teams. Then, before every round, a second draft sets the actual pairings on the course.
Building the Teams
- ● 2 Captains are named first.
- ● The remaining 14 players are drafted in snake order.
Setting the Pairings
- 1 Team A selects which player(s) they want to send out first.
- 2 Team B selects which player(s) they want to match up against them.
- 3 Team B then selects their next player(s) to put forward.
- 4 Team A selects who they want to match up against Team B's pick.
- 5 Repeat until all 8 matches are set.
This gives each team the ability to strategically match up their best players — or save their ace for the right moment.
The Sessions
Three Rounds, Three Formats
Each session brings a different format and a different way to earn points for your team.
Saturday Morning
Best Ball
18 Holes · 2-Man Teams
- Each team splits into groups of 2 — one group from each team plays together per tee time.
- All 4 players hit their own ball on every hole.
- The team records the single lowest score among its 2 players on each hole.
- Handicap strokes applied per player — net best ball.
- Points awarded at the end of the round for lowest total score.
Saturday Evening
Scramble
9 Holes · 2-Man Teams
- Captains pair 2 players from their team together for this session.
- Both players tee off, then pick the best of the two shots — both play their next shot from that spot.
- Repeat after every shot, always playing from the best ball, until the hole is finished.
- A true team format — communication and course management are everything.
- Points awarded at the end of the round for lowest total score.
Sunday Morning
Stroke Play
Singles · 1v1
- Every player on each team competes 1v1 against a player from the opposing team.
- Each player plays their own ball for the full round, holing out on every hole.
- The player with the lower net score across the round wins the match.
- Handicap strokes applied per the difference between players' handicaps.
- Each completed match is worth 1 point.
Scoring
How Points Work
