General League Format

2 Man Teams
Weekly 9H Head-to-Head Matchplay
Fully Handicapped (Maximum Handicap of 30 – all handicaps higher will be rounded down)
5 different formats throughout the season: Better Ball, Aggregate, A vs A / B vs B, A vs B / B vs A, stroke play!
Weekly cash prizes include $4 towards skins, $4 towards stableford, $1 to proximity contests, and $1 towards random draw! Skins are going to be net Canadian skins this year, which means that it is net skins at 70% handicap but gross wins tie breaks (for example a 3 for 2 beats a 4 for 2). Stableford will be played at 70% handicap and will pay out the top 3 golfers & ties every week, so for example if there are 40 players in a division then the pot would be $160 – first would get $70, second would get $50, and third would get $40 (ties will be split evenly). Stableford scoring will be 1 point for net birdies, 2 points for net eagles or better, -2 points for net double bogeys (aka max score).
Each week, points will be awarded based upon how you finish your head-to-head match.
Due to larger field, we will be running league nights on TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS. We will try to balance out the days as much as possible, but note if you sign up for Tuesdays you will always play on Tuesdays, and if you sign up for Thursdays you will always play on Thursdays. Each night will be split into two divisions (depending on size of field), which will be balanced by combined handicap (as best as possible).
Top 8 teams from each division will make the playoffs at the end of the year to compete for the grand prize! This number is based on 64 total teams playing (16 teams per division) – the top half of each division will make the playoffs.
Teams that do not make the playoffs will compete in a B Flight bracket!
Note that based on field size we may alter playoff size and format. In 2024 we had a play-in game for the teams that missed the playoffs, which played their own bracket against the Tuesday division in the semi-finals.
