Q: Can we set up a Par/Bogey competition?
A: A Bogey competition can be set up using a Stableford tournament, where for bogey, you are awarded points like Stableford. For example, set anything below birdie or better 1, par as 0, and Bogey or worse as -1 (as shown below).
Note: If this is a net format, set the Handicap dropdown to the net format, and each golfer will earn points based on the net score.
Posting Par/Bogey Scores (NFG Customers Only):
Typically the maximum score allowed to be posted is net double bogey. However, there are exceptions made at the national level that allow for a minimum and maximum score to be applied to scores posted as part of a Par/Bogey competition, where the minimum score posted is a net birdie, and the maximum score posted is a net bogey.
To account for this, you can make adjustment to the tournament under the Advanced Handicap Options. To apply this setting, follow these directions:
Go to the Tournament:
Multi-Round Tournament: Go to Event/League > Multi-Round Tournaments.
Round Tournament: Go to Rounds > Tournaments.
Select the tournament you wish to edit by clicking the name of the tournament or "Edit".
Go to the Advanced Options section and click the "Handicaps" button.
In the Par/Bogey Competition section, check the box for "Competition scores should be posted as par/bogey competition (as shown below).
Click "Continue."
Click "Save."
Note: All other customers' scores will be posted in a stableford format.
