Net/Gross Handicap Rule:
o You choose ΰ NET or GROSS points
o Switching IS allowed once (1st Half only) if desired all points will transfer over
o If you play GROSS, you MUST play the BLUE Tees
o 5.0 or Less Handicap from the Blue Tees, you compete for GROSS MONEY & POINTS the rest of the season & MUST play the BLUE Tees
o If not in the money, points will (or can be) split between N/G
Points always follow the money
Use INDEX to calculate HANDICAP for the tees you play; your handicap is used to calculate your team score
Will play Best Ball whenever possible (85%). All 9-hole BB scores MUST be posted. WE WILL CHECK!
Caught moving the ball when we play it DOWN .. automatic DQ + banned the following week
Handicaps & Scoring
Teams will be required to switch cards and sign them. This should result in more accurate scoring and create more accountability; if teams do not do this, ZERO TOLERANCE:
o 1st offense ....... Verbal warning
o 2nd offense ...... Automatically put on waitlist for the following week
o 3rd offense ....... No points & No payout
If SCORES are NOT POSTED (Best Ball only Gross & Net), we will use the same system:
o 1st offense ....... Verbal warning
o 2nd offense ...... Automatically put on waitlist for the following week
o 3rd offense ....... No points & No payout
Scoring Audit; NET Score Cards should be turned into Audit Table at end of round
MGA Scorecards MANDATORY for ALL NET Players . No card, No money, No points
8:30 cutoff to hand cards in; must be legible & SIGNED; do the Math & give Totals
Two (2) Wildcard Nights
The last night of each "Half" will be "Double Your Points" night; if you are on the bubble in points, this
is catch-up night!
v In the Money that week? Points always follow the money.
θ Example: If you normally play GROSS and happen to win NET dollars, you will get NET points if you choose to go that way.
θ Use your INDEX to calculate your HANDICAP for the tees you play; your handicap is used to calculate your team score.
v IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO SCORE IT THAT NIGHT, PLEASE ASK!
v Payouts (1st / 2nd Gross & Net); we will randomly pay 3rd Net depending on turnout (no points however).

4 points each for 1st Place GROSS or NET (including ties) 3 points each for 2nd Place GROSS or NET (including ties) 2 points each just for playing GROSS or NET (Minimum of 5 holes completed) |
