📖
How It Works
Each player plays their own ball for the entire round. On every hole, only the BEST net score among the team's members counts as the team score. The team with the lowest better-ball net total across the full field wins. Net uses standard USGA allocation (incl. a second stroke for course handicaps over 18).

Options & Variations
A League (multi-group) team event game. Team format: Partner (2-player) or Group (3+); each team needs at least 2 members. The shared entry fee funds a sliding-scale purse to the top teams (ties split, optional rake/house cut); season order-of-merit points can be awarded by finish.
📖
Availability
Fully scorable inside a League event — configure it there under a season's event games. It can't run as a single casual round on its own (it needs the League's shared field and purse), so it always shows as League Only in the standard game picker.

Pro Tips
•When your partner is already in for a good score, be aggressive — your hole is already safe.
•Handicap strokes can flip any hole. Know where your strokes fall before you get to the tee.
