Two Man Team Event Guide

General:

The Two Man Team event is a Better Ball event where the team net for each hole is the lower net of either of the team's players. The Better Ball round score is automatically calculated each time you play. This helps avoid scheduling problems due to weather and vacations. 

Your regular Gaffers score submissions are used to collect scores for the event.  Team scores are calculated for all weeks (including ones that have already been played when the team joins the event).

Enrolment:

All Gaffers will be enrolled for the Two Man Team event automatically. 

Using the Dashboard, players may sign up by selecting their teammate, or you will be allocated a teammate based on Handicap Factors (HCF).  Although it is preferred that a team plays together, it is not essential.  

If you wish to decline to play in this event, please use the Dashboard or ask any Committee member to make the change through the Dashboard for you.

Note: HCFs on qualifying weeks are frozen when the score for the week is first posted.  In the unlikely event that an adjustment had to be made to a player's score that affected their HCF at the qualifying week, the original HCF will be used, not the adjusted one. Only automatic team mate selection would be affected, not the player's handicap for subsequent play.

Scores and Points:

The team net score for the round is used 

• • • e.g. for each hole the lower of the two team members’ net scores are summed to produce a team net score for the round.

    • If a team member is absent, the remaining team member’s net will be used for the round

    • If no team member is present on any (playable) week, the team will score zero points for that week

Each week the teams are ranked according to their net scores and  points are awarded in descending order. 

• • • The maximum number of points each week is based on the number of teams in the event for the season. 

      • e.g. in 2019 season there were 20 teams, so there would have been 20 points per week. Note that as additional teams join the event at the beginning of the season, the weekly maximum points will adjust automatically back to and including the first week. So all weeks will use the same maximum points.

When teams are tied they will be awarded the points for the position for which they tied. 

• • • e.g if two teams tie for 5th place both are awarded the  points for 5th place and the next team is awarded points for the 7th place

The points for the best weeks are totalled at the end of the season leaving out the lowest two points scores for each team.  This is designed to allow for absences for vacations etc.  A week that is a No Play Day does not count at all. It will not be part of the event and will not used as one of the two 'lowest points scores' for exclusion.
