FORMAT, RULES and SCORING:

FORMAT:

We will play 3 rounds of golf, one each day Friday through Sunday. 

The games will be held at The Els Club, Langkawi

Each round will consist of 2 teams of 12 players each. 

Traditionally we have played one round of 2-Man Scramble and a Fourball, followed by singles on Sunday.

See formats explained below. 

The final round will be played as 12 Singles matches. 

The West team needs 12 (or less if we field less than 12 players any day) points to retain the DK Trophy and any team amassing more than 12 points will be crowned champions.

 

FRIDAY AT THE ARB:

2-Man Scramble

Two pairs play against one another.  Each member of the pair makes his tee shot, then the pair chooses which ball to play and picks up the other ball.  Both players then play their 2nd shot from the spot of the tee shot they chose, and again choose which 2nd shot to play and pick up the other ball.  This continues until the ball is holed out, and the pair with the lowest raw score on the hole wins the hole.  Any hole that is tied is halved.  Any match that is tied after 18 holes is halved.  Each pair must play each member's tee shot minimum 6 times during the match. 

Calculation Method for Team Handicap on 2 Man Scramble in ARB 2018

 

1. Individual handicaps will be taken as a whole number.

   (less than 0.5 to be rounded down, 0.5 or greater to be rounded up.)

2. the team handicap will be a sum of the two whole numbered individual handicaps.

3. the number of strokes to be given will be 25% of the team handicap difference.

4. in case the result of 3. becomes a decimal number it shall be rounded.

   (as it can only be a XX.5 it will be rounded up to XX+1.)

 

For example,

Team WEST : Gunnar (17.9) & C. Holmes (21.9) will be a team of 18 & 22, so total 40.

Team EAST : Kimmy (13.2) & Agata (20.1) will be a team of 13 & 20, a total 33.

Numbers of strokes shall be calculated as (40-33) x 25%.

(40-33) x 25% = 1.75 and this will be rounded up to 2.

So team EAST will give 2 strokes to team WEST.

If we need to use Mr. Par the rules are as follows:

 1.  DK tees off, and then decides whether he will use “MPO (Mr. Par Option)”.

2. 2. At a hole where DK declares to use “Mr. Par Option” (hereunder MPO), the team
   

score for Team East will be Par or DK’s own score if he scores better than par.

MPO has to be utilized min 6 times / max 12 times.

3. 3. For the holes where DK does not use MPO, DK can always hit twice from his 2nd
   

shot onwards.  The team score for Team East for such holes will be DK’s score only.

The number of holes DK plays as “non MPO hole”, is min 6 times / max 12 times.

A total of 6 points are up for grabs.

SATURDAY AT THE ARB:

Fourball

All four players play their own ball. The team whose player has the lowest score wins the hole. If the teams tie, they halve the hole. The team that wins the match receives one point, and if the teams tie they each get 1/2 point.

Each match is played off the lowest handicapped player in that group of four.  Handicaps are rounded to the nearest whole number (e.g 12.4 and lower = 12, 12.5 and higher = 13).  So a group with an 8, a 12, a 17 and a 25 handicapper plays off the player with the 8 hcp so the other players receives 4, 9 and 17 strokes respectively from the lowest handicapper, starting from index 1.  We are using 100% of the handicaps and we are not adjusting for the slope or rating of the course played.

A total of 6 points are up for grabs.

SUNDAY AT THE ARB: 

Singles

Players compete in match play head-to-head. The best score per hole wins that hole and tied holes are halved. The player who wins the match earns one point for his team.   Ties are worth 1/2 point to each team.

Two players from each team will go head to head based on their rounded handicaps.  The higher handicapped player will receive the number of shots that his handicap is higher than his opponent.  Again, he will receive the shots as one shot per hole starting with index 1, counting until he has received the  allotted number of shots

A total of 12 points are up for grabs.

Points:

There are (hopefully) a total of 24 matches and available points. The team with the most cumulative points at the end of the tournament wins. If the teams tie (12 vs.12) the team that last won the tournament retains the DK trophy.  This team is normally, as we all know, Team West....

Pairings:

The 2 captains will do the pairing prior to the game on Friday.  Pairings are done by one captain calling a name and the other matching that name.  The captains will alternate in calling the names and the first to go is decided by a coin toss.

The consequent pairings will be done at dinner on Friday and Saturday respectively.

Scoring:

We are using GameBook for live scoring.   For the newbees, please download the app.

One player in each group (from team West) will be given the task to post his flights score after every hole.

As a back-up, we have the WhatsApp group where the scores will be posted live should the GameBook app not function as needed.  Newbees will be invited to join.

Regardless of which electronic media we choose to use a paper trail will be produced by the means of an old fashioned score card (yes, those still exists).  A separate person in each flight (from team East) will get the task to record all scores manually on this scorecard.

Harada is IT manager.  Please contact him if you have questions.
