Scoring

How the result works

Each won segment is worth the agreed point value, commonly 1 point.

Example: Team A wins the front, Team B wins the back, and Team A wins overall, so Team A takes 2 of 3 points.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Letting the front nine decide the mood. The back and overall matches stay live separately.

Safety: Keep point values modest; follow normal course pace and etiquette.
