Modified Stableford Format
This format is based on your established handicap minus 36 which gives you your first days quota. A maximum handicap of 22 is allowed for this format, however if your handicap is higher than 22, you are very welcome to play but your handicap will be lowered to 22 for the modified stableford portion of the tournament.
Example: Your handicap is 16, (16 - 36 = 20); 20 will be your first days quota.
If you have a 6 handicap (6 - 36 = 30) your quota would be 30, etc.
Scoring is based on scratch score on a hole (your handicap is already used to get your individual quota). You get points towards your quota based on the following:
Double Bogey or more on a hole = 0 points
Bogey = 1 point
Par = 2 points
Birdie = 4 points
Eagle = 6 points
Double Eagle = 8 points
After the first round; your quota will be adjusted based on how much you went over your quota or under your quota and then add or subtract 50%.
Example: Your first days quota was 20, and based on the scoring above, you made 16 points, your first round score would be - 4 (16-20=-4).
50 % of -4 is -2, so the next round your quota would be 18.
If you would had scored 22 points, then your first round score would be +2, and your next round quota would be 23. (50% of +2 is +1 / 1+22=23)
This adjustment continues for each of the next round(s) of the tournament.
The Classic Champion is the golfer who has the highest total (all scores from all rounds added together) at the end of the tournament.
The great thing about this format is it is very competitive and one or two bad holes won’t ruin your round, because you can pick up after reaching a double bogey on a hole (0 points), and make it up with a good score on another hole or two. Because this format adjusts daily, most of you will be competitive right up to the last nine played on the last day. Almost all of our tournaments are WON on the back nine of the final round, just like on the PGA tour.
* Tournament handicap is based on your established handicap or past scores from JB's Golf Classic tournaments.
