Crews and the league
Your regular group gets its own all-time board. League members are ranked every season, April through October, with a stats page for every player.
The league
Ranked on your best three rounds, adjusted for the course
- 1
Every round gets a rating
Your adjusted score minus the course rating, scaled by slope: (score − course rating) × 113 ÷ slope. An 85 at a hard course can beat an 82 at an easy one.
- 2
Your best three count
You're ranked on the average of your best three round ratings of the season, so one bad Sunday never sinks you. Three rounds to get on the board.
- 3
Season by season
The league runs April 1 to October 31. Off-season matches are friendlies; crew boards are all-time. Course ratings come from the USGA where checked, and players add their own 1–10 difficulty and nice votes.
