Divisional Singles Week - Cards will be Pick Your Own Group. Regular league format.
CTP Week - Cards are sent out by divisional ranking. Points are based on your score but payout is based completely around who was the closest to the pin on each hole.
Skins Game Week - Cards are sent out by divisional ranking. Points are based on your overall score but payout is based completely on your score compared to your cardmates. If you have the single lowest score on any hole you win a skin and a portion of the funds. Holes that have no individual low score carryover to the next hole (AKA 2 tie all tie). If after 18 holes there are still skins available the group must continue to play until the skin(s) have been decided. On any playoff holes only those who end up with the lowest score on each hole proceed to the next hole. So If 4 people go to Hole #19 because of a tie on #18 and two people get 2's while 2 people get 3's . . . only those who got the 2's proceed to Hole #20 until the skin is settled.
1 Disc Week - Cards will be randomly decided to encourage mixing of divisions and to help people learn from the discs others select and why. You can only carry one disc with you on this night. If you lose it, you are out of luck.
Alternate Tees Week - Cards will be randomly decided to encourage mixing of divisions and to help people learn from how others attack new shots. This week is scheduled because I need to setup the alternate tees before league. I will mark the tees the week before to give people a chance to scout the new lines to be played.
Putters Only Week - Cards will be by randomly decided. you can carry as many putters as you want as long as they fall on the approved putters list.
Stableford - Cards will be by Pick Your Own Group. This format rewards aggressiveness. Aces = 9 points, Birdies = 5 points, Pars = 2 points, Bogeys = 0 point, and Double Bogeys or worse = -1. All Aces split the INDIVIDUAL Ace Pool from this week, but if there are no aces the ace pool will carry over to the next week. Points and payout will be determined by the points you earn.
Mulligan Week - Cards will be by divisional ranking. Pros will get 1 mulligan, Advanced will get 2 mulligans, Intermediate will get 3 mulligans, Recreational will get 4 mulligans, Women and Juniors will get 5 mulligans to be used at any time. The intent to throw a mulligan must be announced within 30 seconds of the throw and the subsequent throw must also be thrown within 30 seconds of declaring your intent to use a mulligan. You always have the choice to use whichever throw is better. Points and payout will be by overall scores.
Bounty Week - Cards will go out by Pick Your Own Group. I will establish bounty holes where a specific score must be earned to get a portion of the bounty. Everyone within the division who achieves that score on that hole will get a portion of the bounty. There will be multiple bounty holes on the course that night for each division which will be randomly decided after the round so that even I do not know what holes are the bounty holes. Divisional points will be determined by your overall score, but payout will be completely by the Bounty Holes and Scores. If you beat the bounty score you will get 2 shares of the bounty while all others who achieved the bounty score will only get 1 share.
Double Points Singles - Cards will go out by divisional ranking. Same as week one but points are doubled to see who can rise to the occasion at the end of the season when the pressure is on.
MATCH PLAY FINALS
I would like to see how the divisions are shaping up before publishing the details of this completely. I will say this you will be eligible for Match Play if you attend 5 of the 10 weeks of this league. There will either be 4 or 8 spots per division based on attendance so if you want to ensure your placement in the playoffs, make sure to attend as often as you are able. $1 per week per player is being put into the Match Play Payouts which will not only encourage people to attend the league, but to also make sure they are able to qualify for the finals.

Week 1 March 24th Divisional Singles
Week 2 March 31st 1 Disc Night

Week 10 May 26th Double Points Divisional Singles
Week 11 and 12 June 2nd and 9th will be divisional seeded match play based on point totals from the first 10 weeks. Getting the most points does not guarantee you the Divisional win . . . you need to play well and win some matches to call yourself the league winner. If you didn't make the match play finals, you are encouraged to come caddy for your favorites, spectate the matches. These matches will be played in two-somes so the only thing the players have to think about is their own match and not be distracted by other matches.
