FAQ

The Circuit is a 2-person team league. Every Fall Series round is Best Ball: each player plays their own ball and the better score on each hole counts. (The Summer Series alternated Scramble and Best Ball.)

All six Fall rounds open October 26, and each must be posted by its deadline: Round 1 by Nov 6, Round 2 by Nov 13, Round 3 by Nov 20, Round 4 by Nov 27, Round 5 by Dec 4, Round 6 by Dec 11. Play ahead as fast as you like. Courses and dates are on the schedule.

Every Fall round is open from October 26, so there's plenty of time to get ahead. Because of that, deadlines are firm: a round not posted by its deadline doesn't count. No exceptions.

In the Fall Series, men play Blue, women play Red and seniors 55+ play White. On mixed teams each player plays their own tee. Set it before your first shot: the simulator won't let you change it mid-round.

Record what happened on your phone and send it to us the same day. We'll review the round and make it right. Without footage there's nothing to review and the score stands as posted. Details on Play Your Round.

By team performance in the opening rounds of each series. In the Fall, Rounds 1 to 3 are scored across the whole field and set the flights. There are three flights, Championship, Member and Social, so you compete against teams at your level.

Every team that finishes a round earns points. First place in your flight earns 300, scaling down through the field, with at least 25 for every finisher. Outdoor Majors are worth 1.5× and the Championship is worth 2×. See the standings.

A round awards points once every team in your flight has posted it, or once its deadline passes. Your raw score shows on the live leaderboard right away; the points follow when the round closes.

No. Every finisher earns points and the Championship counts double. A slow start is recoverable. Missing rounds is what actually costs you.
