Format of Competition
All members have been assigned to a team.
Teams were drawn randomly but each team has at least one member from each handicap category, low, middle, and high, and each team has at least four members who attended half or more of the outings last year.
The first named is the designated captain for each team, and was selected based on attendance last year.
Points will be awarded at each outing with 25 for 1st, 24 for 2nd down to 6 points for 20th. All other attendees will be awarded 5 points.
The best three scores per team will count per outing. Each team can discard one outing up to the August outing. The September and October outings must count for each team. The overall scoring system reduces the pressure on all members to attend all outings as the event is intended as a social and fun add-on to the main golfing season.
Thanks to Micheál Conneff for his support.
Good luck to all.
