System 36 scoring
3
nations, one winner
Everyone plays their own ball. Groups of four play two against two, nation against nation, with a friendly side-by-side points tally, and opponents keep each other’s cards. No handicap needed: System 36 works one out from your round, and the nation with the lowest total net wins.
Scoring
How System 36 works
Par or better
2pts
Bogey
1pt
Double bogey or worse
0pts
Add up your points for all 18 holes. Then:
Handicap = 36 − points
Net = gross − handicap
Example
Gross 88 · System 36 points 22
36 − 22 = 14 handicap
88 − 14 = 74 net
Maximum score on any hole is double par: pick up there. A nation’s score is the sum of its players’ nets; the lowest total wins, and a tie goes to the nation with more points.
The venue

No. We ask for your date of birth so we can show your age on your player profile; your birth date itself stays private.
No. You can add your handicap index if you have one, but the event uses System 36, which works out a handicap from your round.

No. Until you add one, your initials are your avatar.
Groups & tee times
When pairings are published. Every approved player gets an email with their group, sides, tee time and tees, and it also appears in the Player app.
Groups of four play two against two: two players from one nation against two from another. Everyone plays their own ball; the sides just make it social.
The organizers set the pairings. If you have a request, contact them before pairings are published.
One player waits on the list until another player from the same nation joins, so every side in a group is two players from one nation.
The organizers assign tees for each player. You’ll see yours in the Player app and the pairings email.
Format & scoring
Individual stroke play over 18 holes: everyone plays their own ball, scored with System 36.
On each hole you earn points: par or better 2, bogey 1, double bogey or worse 0. Add your points for 18 holes. Handicap = 36 − points. Net = gross − handicap.
Every player’s net score is added up for their nation. The lowest total wins. If two nations tie, the one with more total System 36 points wins.
In each group of four, the app adds up the System 36 points each side’s two players have earned: a friendly side-vs-side summary. It doesn’t change the nation standings, which use net scores.
By net score, lowest first. Equal nets share the position.
Playing rules
Every player plays their own ball for all 18 holes and has their own scorecard.
The USGA Rules of Golf apply, along with any local rules at Mount Hood.
The most you can score on a hole is double par: 6 on a par 3, 8 on a par 4, 10 on a par 5. Pick up there.
Groups of four play two against two, one nation against another. The side-by-side points in the app are a friendly summary: every player’s own score is what counts.
One player on each side keeps the other side’s two cards. After the round you confirm your own card, and the tournament desk verifies it.
On the day
Check-in opens at 7:00 AM in the clubhouse, where you collect your team shirt. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your tee time.
Your clubs, a charged phone (scores are kept in the Player app), and payment for your green fee and cart at the course.
Your opponents. One player on each side keeps the other side’s two cards; the side decides who on the day, and either player can take over in the app.
The scorer submits your card, you confirm it on your phone, and the tournament desk verifies it.
Scores entered in the app are kept on the phone and sync when the connection returns. The tournament desk can also enter a paper card.
At lunch and awards, from 1:30 PM. Live standings are on this site all day.
