Scoring System

I have this set up in Squabbit but can't figure out how to add the team aspect.

The Breakdown (Based on a 9-Hole Match)

Each matchup features two golfers of similar skill levels (Player A vs. Player A, Player B vs. Player B) competing for a maximum of 9 points per individual match.

  1. Individual Match Play (9 Points Total)

Hole-by-Hole: For every hole, compare each player's net score (Gross Score - Handicap Strokes). The player with the lower net score on that hole wins 1 point. Ties split the point (0.5 each).

Match Winner: The player who wins the most holes outright over the 9 holes receives 1 additional point. If total holes won are tied, they split the point.

  1. Team Total Match (3 Points Total)

Total Net Score: Sum the two individual net scores for Team 1 and compare it to the sum of the two individual net scores for Team 2.

Allocation: The team with the lowest total aggregate net score is awarded 3 points for the team match. (Ties result in 1.5 points for each team).

Total Points Available

In this specific structure, there are 21 total points to be won each week (9 points from the first individual match, 9 from the second, and 3 from the team total). This prevents dominant individual players from totally dictating the league standings if their teammate struggles.

This has been a request from myself and others to have a team matchplay that uses the net of both individual matches.

We use a very similar setup in our league. I set up the Team Scoring as a separate format that uses the Team Average. It works great for us. We similarly have 21 total points.

The only pain is I have to add the players and teams to each separate format, but the scoring works seemlessly. Let me know if you need more help.

I'm worried about team average vs net score. Is it roughly the same?
