*We have decided to postpone the tournament to a later date in the year due to lack of signups. Please stay tuned for an official date.*
This is the Third Annual Alabama Team Challenge. We had some great feedback from our first year and are planning to make this tournament better every year. We have decided to eliminate the singles round. This will be a 3-round tournament using Alternate Team Doubles, Best Score, and Best Shot Doubles formats.
All divisions will play the same courses unless registration exceeds a course limit. If so, we will split into two pools between Civitan and Carter.
Saturday
Round 1: Greg Carter Best Score Doubles Format
Round 2: Civitan Best Shot Doubles Format
Sunday
Round 3: Inverness Team Doubles Format (Tee Times)
For the Best Score Doubles in round 1(Greg Carter) each team will split into two pairs. Each teammate in the pair will play each hole individually and take the best score between the two players. (Ex. Player A gets a 2 and player B gets a 3, the pair scores a 2 on the hole.)
For the Best Shot Doubles in round 2(Civitan) each team will split into two pairs playing standard a Best Shot where each player throws for every lie taking the best result. Each team will have two round scores for round 2 and five round scores overall.
The Team Doubles round will mimic the rules for College Disc Golf. This round will be played with TWO (2) sets of teammates, one ODD pair, and one EVEN pair. The ODD set will tee off on every odd-numbered hole, while the EVEN set tees off on every even-numbered hole. After the tee shots, the team chooses which of the two lies to play. From there, the set that did not tee throws their two shots. That alternating process continues until the hole is complete. This format allows for each player to tee off the same amount of times and for teams to play as a whole. Each hole has two teams playing together as an eight-some.
