The CzarHow the games work
Every group in a round picks its own game, and the whole field plays skins and the Big Game on top. These are the rules the app scores by — house rules where there are house rules, written down so nobody has to argue about them on the 18th.
- Match Play Two sides, hole by hole. Win the hole and you go 1 UP; the match is over when the lead is bigger than the holes left. These are the rules the app scores by, including Caveats, the side game a 2v2 can play on top.
- Carts, Drivers, Others A foursome’s answer to a 2v2 that wouldn’t be fair for eighteen holes. Three matches of six holes, a new partner every six, and points that follow each player rather than a side.
- 9-Point For three players. Nine points on every hole, split by finishing order, with a margin sweep that is not in the usual 5/3/1 table. Worked examples below.
- Medal The simplest game there is. Everyone plays their own ball, every stroke counts, and the lowest total wins.
- Skins One skin a hole, across the whole field rather than your own group. A tie cuts it. Here is exactly how a hole settles.
- The Big Game Play well. Draw better. The round’s closing bet in three steps: a cut, a blind draw and best ball. A good score only gets you into the draw.
