Moneyball Rules

The Gist (short version): 
18 holes, Teams of 4, 2 scores count on each hole – 1) the low net score in the group and 2) the net score of the player playing the yellow “moneyball”.

The Details (like, the actual rules): 
In this event, teams (of 4 players) record two scores per hole. Score #1 is the lowest net score from all four players. However, and here’s the twist, Score #2 will be the score recorded by the player playing the “moneyball” (This will be a yellow ball given to your team on the day of the tournament).

The “Moneyball” player rotates through your team as the names appear on the scorecard – on the first hole, the player on the top of the scorecard plays the yellow “moneyball”, on the second hole, the second player, and so on until everyone has had their turn and the rotation begins again.

Point of emphasis: The score carded by the player playing the “moneyball” counts towards the team score, regardless of how they perform. And, if the player playing the “moneyball” is also the lowest net score in the group, you will record the second-best net score as your other score.

On the day of the tournament, you will receive a sleeve of three yellow “moneyballs”. You will receive a one-stroke bonus for each ball you return at the end of your round. If you lose all three “moneyballs”, your team is eliminated (!).

The cost of the tournament is $10 per player (plus cart fee), with prize money for first and second place (prizes will depend on number of participating teams).

Signups will be “first come first served” with a limit of 12 teams.
