Format:
-- Players will compete in one round of 18 holes (stroke play, singles)
-- League Fee: $5 for the entire season
-- Start Time: Meet at the course THURSDAY evenings at 6:00 PM to allow time for check-in and warm up. Tee off will begin by 6:30 PM.
-- Each player must keep track of their score (total number of strokes) and report final score to the League Administrator upon completion of the round.
-- Ties will be broken with a one-throw, sudden death closest-to-pin (CTP) competition between the individuals who tied. CTP will take place from a location designated by the League Administrator.
-- After all scores have been reported and all ties have been settled, points will be awarded based on players' score in relation to the total attendance.
-- Occasionally, the League Administrator may decide to change the playing format. Possible formats include Alternate Tees, Doubles, or Glow-round.
-- There will be two cash prize contests throughout the course of summer league: (1) CTP ($1/night) -- League Administrator will determine the hole at which players will mark their disc if they are the closest disc to the basket after their tee shot. Player with the closest drive will earn a small cash pot at the end of each league night and (2) Ace Fund -- Each player may contribute $1 to a rolling ace fund. The pot will continue to grow until a player hits a hole-in-one during any league night. That player will receive a percentage of the pot depending on how many occasions he/she contributed to the ace fund.
Point System:
-- Points are awarded on a percentage basis. The number of points awarded depends on: (1) Total strokes (2) Number in attendance
-- For example, if 15 players are in attendance approximately every 20% will be awarded an additional point (bottom 20% = 1 point, top 20% = 5 points)
-- Payout starts at 5 points and decreases by 1 point for players scoring in the next lowest 20%
-- For every 5 players after 10 participants, an additional point will be added to the payout.
1-10 players, payout = 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
11-15 players, payout = 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
16-20 players, payout = 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
-- Some players may earn the same amount of points on a given league night, but total strokes will be taken into consideration when determining leaderboard rankings.
-- NEW THIS YEAR!!! Hitting an ace on any given league night will earn you 10 bonus points.

Deuce Or Die
With the help of Scott Carpenter, an alternate course layout has been devised to accommodate the "Deuce or Die" format. Essentially, each hole is a shorter length (150' to 250') and is capable of being completed in two strokes. Scoring is based on a pass/fail system: Scoring system: "Passing" a hole (ace, eagle, birdie) = 3 points "Stringing" (hitting consecutive birdies) = 1 point Bonuses Metal hit on tee shot (cage or above only) = 1 point Ace = 5 points "Failing" a hole = 0 point ... more

Bonuses
Metal hit on tee shot (cage or above only) = 1 point
Ace = 5 points
"Failing" a hole = 0 points
The Ace Fund for this week's format will be altered just a bit. There will be two CTP contests throughout the course. The first will be awarded as usual while the second will be a conditional prize. If an ace is recorded, that person will receive the second CTP pot. If no aces are recorded, the pot will be awarded to the winner of the conditional CTP hole.
See you all tomorrow night!
