Vegas

Team game where both members' score digits are combined for a team score.

4 playersTeam game
  • Team game where both members' score digits are combined for a team score.

Points

  • The team score is produced by taking the lowest score as the first digit, and the other score as the second digit. Combining them gives a team score. This is the normal case.
  • If there is a birdie (or lower) by one team, the digits on the other team's score reverse, using the highest score as the first digit, and the lower one as the second digit.
  • Both teams post their score, and the difference is how many points are awarded on that hole to the winning team.

Other Cases

  • An eagle by one team adds 10 points to what would have been the birdie scoring rules above.
  • If there is an eagle, or two birdies by one team, then 10 points is awarded to the winning team.
  • If two birdies occur, but are on different teams, there is an option to allow or cancel the reverse digit scoring rule.
