🥏 League Format & Scoring

Handicap Scoring System

This year our main league uses a handicap-based scoring system to ensure fair and competitive play for players of all skill levels.

There will also be a non-handicap scoring system that automatically runs alongside the handicap league.

How it works:

  • After each player completes their first league round, they will be assigned a handicap score.
  • This handicap will then be applied to their following round.
  • As players continue to play, handicaps may adjust, keeping the league competitive throughout the season.

This system allows newer players and experienced players to compete on a more level playing field while still rewarding consistent performance.

For the General NDGC Division the standings will appear alongside the handicap league.

Scoring Platform

All league scoring will be completed using the UDisc app.
Players are responsible for entering their scores accurately during each round.


🏆 Prizes & Competitions

There are multiple ways to win throughout the league:

🥇 Handicap League Winner

Prize awarded to the player with the best overall performance across the league using the handicap scoring system.

🎯 Closest to Pin (CTP) Challenge League
