How Season Works

New Event Format

Events alternate between 2v2 Scramble and Head-to-Head matchups, adding strategy, competition, and an exciting season finish.

  • 40 drafted players
  • 8 teams
  • 6-event season
  • Competing for Team Championships

Schedule

Monthly events are held on Saturday mornings, typically on the last Saturday of each month. August event is held on the second-to-last Saturday.

League Tiers

To promote competitive balance, teams are divided into two tiers based on player handicaps.

Championship Tier

  • 4 teams
  • 5 players per team
  • Handicap range: 0–19

Competitive Tier

  • 4 teams
  • 5 players per team
  • Handicap range: 20–40

Handicap changes during the season do not affect tier placement. Players remain in their assigned tier for the duration of the season.

Roster & Player Availability

  • Before the season, each player is drafted onto a team of five for the full season
  • Four players must compete at each event
  • Teams that do not field four players risk losing points

Hired Guns

  • Players who are not tied to a team. They may be picked up by multiple teams on a catch-and-release basis.
  • Max two event appearances
  • All hired gun pickups and handicap validations must be approved prior to the monthly captains’ meeting.
