Acey Deucy

Best score wins, worst score pays — every hole matters

2–12 players (individual) · 2–6 players (team)Dot Games

How It Works

Every hole, the player with the unique lowest gross score earns the Acey ⚖️ (reward), and the player with the unique highest gross takes the Deucy (penalty). A tie for best or worst means that category isn't awarded. It is fully score-derived — no tapping; just enter scores and the app settles each hole.

Team Mode

In Team mode, the team with the lower best-ball net wins the Acey and the higher takes the Deucy; ties carry over.

Options & Variations

Carryover defaults ON — a tied Acey hole presses the next hole up by 1× (a 3-hole streak makes the breaking hole worth 4×). Payout mode: Points (default $2/dot) or Winner Takes All (default $5/player). Per-dot value multipliers (dotValues, 1×–5×). Mode: Individual (default) or Team.

Pro Tips

Acey Deucy creates drama on every hole — the worst score always feels the pressure.

In groups with mixed handicaps, consider running Acey Deucy in Team mode for net comparisons.

Carryover is on by default — turn it off in settings for a flat per-hole game.
