Two-person scramble

Rules & format

Draft — subject to change until the organizers finalize

The field

The planned field is 12 organizer-built teams — 24 players in total.
If demand is high, the organizers can boost the field up to 18 teams / 36 players by adding tee times, decided after registration closes on Aug 13, 11:59 PM MT.
Waitlist entries convert in the order they were submitted, and everyone is emailed once the final field size is locked.

Teams are two players. Both players tee off on every hole.
Pick the better of the two shots, mark the spot, and both players play their next shot from there.
Repeat until the ball is holed. Record one team score per hole.
The non-selected ball is picked up — no penalty, no extra strokes.

Suggested: each player's tee shot must be used at least four times over the 18 holes.
Mark the used drive on your scorecard so it's easy to track.
This is a fun-first event; the organizers won't disqualify anyone, but honour the spirit of it.

Maximum score per hole is triple bogey. Pick up and write it down — keep the group moving.
Keep up with the group in front, not ahead of the group behind.
Both players sign the card at the end of the round.

Place within one club length of the selected ball, no closer to the hole.
Stay in the same condition you found it: rough stays in rough, bunker stays in bunker.
On the green, place within one putter head of the marked spot, no closer to the hole.
Out of bounds or lost: play the other ball if it's in play, otherwise take a one-stroke drop at the point of entry.

First tiebreak: lowest score on the back nine (holes 10–18).
Second tiebreak: lowest score on holes 16, 17, 18, then 18 alone.
Still tied: a single closest-to-the-pin chip-off at the practice green before awards.
