Format

The competition will follow a team-based Stableford scoring format over 18 holes. This format shifts the focus from traditional stroke totals to a point system that rewards strong performance on individual holes. It allows teams to take risks, recover from mistakes, and keep the competition tight throughout the round.

Each team earns Stableford points based on the best individual score from within their group on each hole. The scoring is straightforward and encourages aggressive play:

• 0 points for a double bogey or worse

• 1 point for a bogey

• 2 points for par

• 3 points for birdie

• 4 points for eagle

• 5+ points for albatross or better

Once all 18 holes are complete, the team scores are added up, and the top three scoring teams — including any ties — will advance to the playoff. If there is a tie for third place, all tied teams will move forward, making for a dynamic and inclusive final showdown.

The playoff will take place on the Rink Hole (Hole #14) in a team match play format. Each team will compete head-to-head, and just like the main round, the best individual score from each team will count on the playoff hole. If needed, the format can be repeated until a winner is determined. This competitive yet spirited finale brings together the team camaraderie of golf with the energy and spectacle of a playoff atmosphere — all set in the environment of The Rink.
