COST & ENTRY FEE
The full season costs $142 per player — $13 covers SGT's admin fee, and the remaining $129 goes into the season's competition pool. Payment is due in full before Week 1 begins.
A separate per-player contribution also goes into the Hole-in-One pot, which carries over season to season.
THE WEEKLY SCHEDULE
Each event typically runs Sunday to Sunday, with some overlap between weeks. You don't have to play every event, but consistency is encouraged. If you know you won't be able to make a week, give the admin team a heads-up as early as possible — ideally by end of day Tuesday. The earlier you let us know, the smoother the logistics for everyone.
PARTNERS & TEAMS
For partner events, you'll select your partner one week in advance. If you haven't paired up 24 hours before the event window opens, you'll be randomly matched with another unpaired player.
For larger team formats — three-player scrambles and group events — teams are either pre-assigned or randomly drawn. The format details are posted before each event so you'll always know what to expect.
SUBSTITUTIONS
The admin team maintains a substitution bench of trusted players for situations when someone can't make it. Substitution requests should come in by Tuesday. Here's how no-shows are handled depending on the format:
A no-show gets a blind-draw replacement from the substitution bench. The sub's scorecard counts for that team.
A no-show results in the team forfeiting that week. Choose your partner wisely.
SCORING & DISQUALIFICATIONS
We hold everyone to the same standard. Here are the situations that result in disqualification from that week's competition:
Incomplete rounds are disqualified unless a genuine emergency occurred.
SimDrop (virtual ball drop) requires at least one real escape attempt first. Skipping that attempt or misusing SimDrop is not allowed.
Rounds played without a valid live stream are disqualified from the competition pot. If you forget to stream, you may replay the round — but your worst score will count.
Missing or incorrect data tiles on stream result in disqualification.
Cheating of any kind results in immediate disqualification.
Practice shots taken during a teammate's or opponent's turn: first offense is a warning, second offense is a 2-stroke penalty.
Scoring concerns — phantom reads, system glitches, anything that looks off — should be reported publicly in the Discord with the admin team tagged. Admins review all issues and make the final call.
COURSE SETUP
All players use identical tee boxes each week — no exceptions. Courses are selected to play between 6,200 and 6,700 yards. Handicaps are calibrated to account for skill variation across the entire field, keeping the competition level for everyone from scratch to high handicap.
TIEBREAKERS
The default is to break the tie, not split the pot. Each week, the tiebreaker method is announced before the event begins — most often a scorecard playoff or an aggregate net total comparison — so everyone knows exactly how ties will be resolved going in.
MEMBER-MEMBER INVITATIONAL
Every week, $1 per player builds the Invitational fund, which pays out at a season-ending Member-Member event.
Team captains are determined by money earned through Week 5: the top money earner gets first right of refusal to captain a team. If they decline, the offer moves to the next-highest earner, and so on down the money list until both captain spots are filled.
The exact format and number of rounds depend on how many players are in the field that season — details are announced once the roster is set.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Golf is a gentlemen's game. We expect civility and respectful treatment toward every participant in the league — win or lose. Disrespectful behavior toward other players, substitutes, or the admin team may result in exclusion from the season.
