TRSGA League Game Definitions
Individual Points
How It’s Played: All individual scores are kept and points for each hole are calculated based on the following TRSGA points system. Points: Bogey = 1 point, Par = 2 points, Birdie = 4 points, Eagle = 6 points, Double Eagle = 8 points, Hole-in-One = 10 points.
Who Wins: The top 4 individual points for each flight (A/B/C/D) – 16 winners
Counts Toward Individual Handicap: YES
Select-A-Drive
How It’s Played: Teams for each Flight are created as evenly as possible using league handicaps with the intent that all teams have at least one long driver assigned to it. All members of the team will tee off and the best drive is selected. All members of the team will then hit their second shots from the chosen drive and play their own ball from that point on through the completion of the hole. Each player will have their score and points recorded the same as in the Individual Points game above.
Who Wins: The top 4 individual points for each flight (A/B/C/D) – 16 winners
Counts Toward Individual Handicap: NO
ABCD Team Points
How It’s Played: Teams are created as evenly as possible using league handicaps and weighted percentages of those handicaps to create a team handicap. Each team will consist of one A player, B player, C player and D player if possible. All individual scores are kept and points for each hole are calculated based on the TRSGA points system. All individual points will then be added up for a Team total.
Who Wins: Top 4 Team points. – 16 winners

Match Play
How It’s Played: Pairings will be calculated based off current league handicaps. The lowest ranked handicap player will be paired against the highest ranked handicap player for each flight. Pairing will subsequently work their way down through the handicap rankings for each flight always matching the lowest ranked handicap player left with the highest ranked handicap player left until all players participating in the event have been paired. The higher handicapped player within a pairing may receive strokes on holes if a player’s handicap is greater than or equal to .5. For example, if the higher handicapped player is a 10.7 and the lower handicapped player’s handicap is 7.3 the difference would be 3.4 and the higher handicapped player would receive a stroke on the courses three highest handicapped holes, i.e. 5, 12, 3. The player winning the most holes will determine the winner of the match and advance to the next round. Based on the number of entrants, a preliminary round may be required to ensure the tournament starts with 16 players per flight. Once we are down to 16 players, the pairings will be entered into a NCAA type tournament bracket and winners will advance through the bracket for 4 rounds (16, 8, 4, 2) until we have a final champion.
In the event of a tie after 18 holes, play will resume on the hole you started your match on and continue until we have a winner. All strokes awarded on a particular hole will be carried forward into sudden death.
Who Wins: Players reaching the final 4 for each flight will receive a payout – 16 winners
Counts Toward Individual Handicap: NO
