📖
How It Works
The 18 holes are split into three 6-hole segments. Teams of two are randomly or manually assigned for each segment, so every player is partnered with each other player at least once over the round.
🧮
Scoring Each Segment
Each 6-hole segment is a mini match-play battle between the two teams. The team winning more of those 6 holes wins the segment and its bet.
⚙️
Options & Variations
Bet-per-six (default $5). Scoring method: Best Score (one ball), Second as Tiebreaker, or Two Scores combined — default Best Score. Set the starting hole (default 1) to control how the segments line up. Presses available (auto-press threshold default off, press amount $5). Handicaps: Index on Low HC (on) with a percentage (default 100%); standard USGA allocation gives a 2nd stroke past 18.
💰
Payouts
Each of the three segments has its own bet. Losers pay winners per segment; a clean sweep pays the maximum.
