How it’s played
Points, not strokes: every hole earns points based on your score against par, and the MOST points wins. The classic table pays eagle 4, birdie 3, par 2, bogey 1, double bogey or worse 0 — a disaster hole costs you nothing more than a zero, which keeps everyone swinging instead of grinding out a 9.
The modified table is the aggressive variant: eagle 5, birdie 2, par 0, bogey −1, double bogey or worse −3. Pars earn nothing and mistakes go negative, so the only way to score is to attack. Net by default — points are computed on net scores after handicap strokes; uncheck for gross. The winner is paid per the payout settings (winner-take-all by default).
