How it’s played

A blind-draw version of 2-man best ball built for group days: everyone plays their own round, and the 2-man teams are drawn at random AFTER the round. Nobody knows their partner while playing, so nobody can coast — every score in the group might be the one carrying a team.

Once the draw happens, scoring is standard 2-man best ball: the better net ball on each hole counts for the team, lowest team total wins. The configuration is fixed for fairness (net scoring, one ball counts, 90% allowance) — there is nothing to tweak at creation beyond the payout.

Ties. Level for a paid place, the Commish's tie-break decides it. Split (the default) pools the tied places and shares them evenly. Push voids the tied places: nobody collects them, and their shares go back to everyone who put in — a tie across two paid places voids both. USGA card match compares the tied scores over the last 9, then the last 6, 3 and 1 holes. App coin toss (Low Net and the team formats) is flipped in the app by the Commish, the scorekeeper or a group admin, and records who won, so the result is the same on every screen and when payouts are finished; until it is flipped the place splits.

Settings you can change

None — this game’s setup is fixed, so the only thing to choose is the money.

Every game also has its money settings, set on the same screen when the game is added.
