Game Types

ScoreLynx allows for the following game types. Additional game types will be added so check back with us. Please contact us at neil@scorelynx.com with suggestions for your favorite game type. Currently ScoreLynx supports the following game types:

Gross: 1-n player, individual, gross score only game.

Stroke: 1-n player, individual, stroke game. Net score calculated off of gross score minus the players designated strokes according to player handicap and hole handicap.

FrontNineNet: 1-n player, individual, stroke game. Same as “Stroke” game but front nine scores only.

BackNineNet: 1-n player, individual, stroke game. Same as “Stroke” game but front nine scores only.

Quota: 1-n player, individual, quota game. Player’s quota is 36 – player’s handicap. Player’s points per hole as listed below. Player’s result is based on their total points vs their quota. e.g. If a player’s handicap is 15, their quota is 21. If they finish with 22 points their score result and position in the game is  based on a quota of +1 (22 vs 21). That example player would lead players with a lower quota (quota’s can be negative) and trail players with higher quota.

 Points for this game are based on mapping player gross scores as follows:

• Eagle or better = 8
• Birdie = 4
• Par = 2
• Bogie = 1
• Double Bogie = 0
• Triple Bogie or worse = -1

Modified Stableford: 1-n player, individual, quota game. Player’s quota is 36 – player’s handicap. Player’s Stableford Score per hole as listed below. Player’s result is based on their stableford score vs their quota. e.g. If a player’s handicap is 15, their quota is 21. If they finish with 22 stableford points their score result and position in the game is  based on a quota of +1 (22 vs 21). That example player would lead players with a lower quota (quota’s can be negative) and trail players with higher quota. NOTE: This game was created for one of the pioneering groups that use ScoreLynx. The point values listed below match their specific game. I work with this group periodically to “tweak” the points to help make the game as fair as possible for their group. If you have a particular game that your group uses, I’d be happy to work with you to customize ScoreLynx for your needs. See contact information to get in touch with me for a request like this.
