Max Handicap will be 32 strokes for any given round.

Max Number of Strokes on any hole will be 9

Tee Times/Pairings: To be assigned on Wednesdays of Event Week.
Pairings will be automatically generated each event with the exception of new players, which will be paired with someone they know for the first few events to get acclimated.

Handicaps: To be posted on Thursdays of Event Week. Handicaps will be generated using the handicap index generated from THIS LEAGUE ONLY. New players will get a ‘discounted’ handicap which will allow them to compete at a disadvantage without pricing them out of the competition – while averaging out towards their established handicap index until they have met the minimum round requirement.

Lost Ball/Out of Bounds/Unplayable: Each of these scenarios will be handled the same way. Drop a ball within 2 club lengths of where the ball last visibly CROSSED the ‘hazard’ (not full distance), no closer to the hole. This may still put you in a position where you need to punch out. You may also always rehit from the original location, or draw a line between the hazard entry and the flag – and go back as far as you want.

Playoff Format: If an event results in a tie for first place, the players who are in contention must play a playoff match. All players must agree to on Option 1 or, by default, Option 2 will automatically chosen. (Option 2 may also be designated if players cannot get back out on the course).
Option 1: A predesignated Par 3 hole chosen before the round, with no handicaps.
Option 2: (3) holes on the putting green consisting of a ‘chip and a putt’ scenario. Players will alternate, making their own starting locations and choose the hole they are going for (must be in the rough). Players will finish each hole, and count total strokes to complete the hole. Low stroke player will win after (3) holes, or more if necessary.
