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
Weekly Scoring (Points System)

Team Points

1st place team: 5 points
2nd place team: 3 points
3rd place team: 1 point

Individual Points

Based on net scoring among the 6 players that week:
1st = 6 points
2nd = 5 points
3rd = 4 points
4th = 3 points
5th = 2 points
6th = 1 point

6
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

7
Season Entry Fee

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

8
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

9
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

10
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

11
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

12
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
