1
League Format

Indoor golf simulator league played on Thursday nights at 5:30 PM
12 players in the league
6 players play each week (3 teams of 2)
Everyone rotates partners — you will eventually play with and against everyone
Holiday weeks are skipped

2
Schedule

Each player plays approximately every other week
Each week features 3 pairings (teams of two) competing against each other
The remaining 6 players are on a bye
Week 1 required byes: Steve, Jake, Zoe

3
Handicap System

Handicaps use ¼ of each player's outdoor 18-hole handicap, rounded up
If a player does not have a handicap, they receive the average handicap of the league
All scoring is NET (gross minus simulator handicap)

4
Competition Format

Each weekly match is 9 holes, simulator match play/stroke play hybrid (house rules)
Teams of two compete against the other two teams in the field that night

5
Individual Points System

Points are awarded based on net score placement each week:
1st place: 10 points
2nd place: 8 points
3rd place: 6 points
4th place: 5 points
5th place: 4 points
6th place: 3 points
7th place: 2 points
8th → last: 1 point
Net score determines placement (gross is only for reference)
Ties are broken by comparing scores from the last hole and moving backward

6
Team Points System

Each player's weekly points contribute to their team's total points
Team standings show both weekly team points and cumulative season points
Teams are ranked by total accumulated points throughout the season

7
Weekly Money

Each player pays $6 on the week they play
Weekly combined pot = $70 (12 players × $6 = $72, minus $2 to house)
Paid out each week to:
• 1st net: $35
• 2nd net: $25
• 3rd net: $10
This ensures $10 rolls into the season-ending pot every two weeks and $10 to the house

8
Season Entry Fee

$30 entry fee from each player
100% of entry fees go toward season-ending payouts

9
End-of-Season Payouts

Individual Season Prizes

Payout to top 3 individual point leaders

Team Season Prizes

Because players rotate partners each week, "team score" is your combined total of all points earned while partnered with someone
Payout to top 2 cumulative teams

10
Tie Breakers

If there is a tie for weekly net scores or season standings:
1. Compare scores from the last 3 holes
2. If still tied, go to last 6 holes
3. Still tied? Coin toss, closest-to-pin, or league vote — commissioner's choice

11
League Conduct (Golden Rule)

This is a trash-talk friendly, dark-humor-allowed league — but keep it fun
Respect the simulator, each other's tee times, and maintain pace of play
If you can't make your night, notify ASAP so a sub can be found or schedule adjusted

12
Subs

Substitutes may play for scores only (no points awarded to the sub)
You still receive 0 points for weeks you miss unless a different rule is agreed upon before the match

13
Mulligans & Simulator Behavior

No mulligans unless the simulator glitches or everyone agrees
If the simulator misreads a shot, replay it with no penalty
Follow any house-specific rules of the simulator facility
