FORMAT

Net Four-Ball. Two players compete together as a side, each playing their own ball. The lower net score of the two players is the sides score for that hole. 85% of the players course handicap will be used to determine the playing handicap for the round. Play is governed by the USGA Rules of Golf and its decisions, by the NOGA Hard Card and the terms of competition. Rule 1.3B states that players are responsible for applying the rules to themselves.

COURSE & PLAYING HANDICAP

Each player's course handicap will be determined by their selected tee. For the Net Four-Ball Qualifier, 85% of the players course handicap will be used to determine the playing handicap for the round. If the difference in a team's playing handicap is greater than 10 strokes, we will reduce the higher playing handicap so that the difference between the team's playing handicap is 10 strokes.

SEASON LONG MATCH PLAY

After the Net Four-Ball Qualifier is complete, the top 32 teams who registered for Option #2 will be seeded into brackets by NET score and will play matches against the other qualifying teams throughout the season. Each Net Four-Ball match played during the course of the season will be played at 90% of the player's full, current handicap as of the day of the match.
