The contest consists of taking each team members score and pairing them together to form a 2 digit number. Each team performs this exercise and the scores are then compared to one another. The lower score then recieves points that are tracked during the entire tournament.

Example - Pete records a 4 and Mark records a 5. These scores are put together for a 45. Kevin records a 5 and Allen records a 5. These scores are put together for a 55. The team of Pete and Mark wins 10 points as the 45 is 10 less than the 55 that Kevin and Allen recorded.

Stroke play
The contest consists of adding the total number of strokes, per player, and adding them up to form a team score. The team scores are then compared and a winner is determined by the team with the least amount of strokes over the course of the tournament.
