Format & Scoring

• Season Length: 10 weeks
• Placement Match: Bethpage 18 holes from Blue Tees (Covered in League Expense)
• Team Lineup Each Week: 4 players compete.
  • If only 3 players are available, teams must play with only 3 players. No fourth  “Ghost” teammate.
• Divisions: Teams split evenly across divisions (about 10 teams per division).
• Competition: 4-man scramble against the field within your division.
  • If your team wins uncontestedly two consecutive weeks, you may be subject to promotion into a higher division (Anti-Sandbag effort)
• Handicaps: No handicaps are used in 4-man scramble.

League-Night Points (per division match)

• Front Nine: 1 point
• Back Nine: 1 point
• Total Score: 1 point
• Ties: ½ point each

Skins

• Skins Games:
  • Hole by Hole Matchup against division
  • $200 Buy-In per team For Season ($50/person)
  • Weekly pot available for all teams who bought in. If 5 Teams buy in, the pot will be $100/week. If all 10 teams buy in, the pot will be $200/week.
  • Pushes will accumulate skins. If any two teams push first place, all teams push into the next week. (i.e., Robinhood and Bitcoin Boys both get 5 skins, no other team gets 5 skins, skins will push to the following week and pot will double. Robinhood and Bitcoin boys keep their 5 skins for following week until push is broken)

General Rules of Play

• If any shot is not calculated, it is rub of the green; replay the shot with no penalty.
• No tees unless using a driver on the tee box.
• If a ball is moved off the putting tee, it may not be moved more than 1 inch from the black tee.
• If players select the wrong shot in scramble, they cannot go back; the selected shot must be played.

Mulligans & Mis-Reads

Mulligans are not allowed, except for system errors or unintended strokes. If allowed, the Mulligan button may be used to reset play without penalty.
Violations: 1–2 stroke penalty (based on severity); excessive use = disqualification.

Permitted scenarios:

1. Phantom shot/swing registered without striking the ball.
2. Hardware error (e.g., “moon shot,” ~200+ MPH maxed ball speed).
3. Fringe auto-PUTTER setting causes an unintentional club mismatch.
4. Spin-camera misread of a quality shot.

• • Check via MENU → ANALYSIS → SPIN tab (upper-right image).
  • Misread indicators: fewer than 3 ball images captured (non-putter) or negative backspin values.
  • Committee may review backspin/sidespin miscalculations and rule as needed.

Substitutes

• Any player may substitute by paying the weekly simulator fee.

Forfeits

• A team automatically forfeits if it does not make up or reschedule its match.

Pace of Play

• Time limit: Complete matches within your 2.5-hour tee time.
• Bad Time: Any team finishing after 10:00 PM.

1. 1. 1st Bad Time: Warning (in person and by email)
   2. 2nd Bad Time: Team is put on the clock for the next round (notified in person and by email)
   3. 3rd+ Bad Time: Committee may assess 1-point penalty per match in standings for each bad time after being put on the clock
