Note on Wolf, Vegas & Special Formats
Games like Wolf (per-hole rotating captain + partner selection) and Vegas (combined two-digit team scores) require custom per-hole logic that goes beyond these axes. Use the builder here for any combination of standard formats — Wolf and Vegas are coming as dedicated engines.
Scoring Format
How holes and the round are scored
Stroke Play
Total strokes over the round — lowest score wins.
Match Play
Win holes, not strokes — most holes won takes the match.
Stableford Points
Points per hole relative to par: Eagle=4, Birdie=3, Par=2, Bogey=1.
Gameplay Format
How players physically play the ball
Individual
Everyone plays their own ball throughout.
Best Ball
Each player plays their own ball; the team's best score counts.
Scramble
All players hit, best shot is selected, repeat.
Shamble
Scramble off the tee, then each player plays their own ball in.
Alternate Shot
Partners alternate hitting the same ball.
Matchup Format
Who competes against whom
Head to Head
Individual players compete against each other directly.
Team Play
Players split into teams; team result counts.
Betting Structure
How the financial stakes are settled
Standard
Single match or stroke play settlement at end of round.
Nassau
Three separate bets: Front 9, Back 9, and Overall — each settled independently.
Skins
Each hole is worth a skin. Tied holes carry over — pressure builds.
