Competition structure
How the league is organized. Solo means everyone competes individually — no squads, no draft night. Squad modes split the league into teams via a draft; more squads want more Joes (4 squads plays best at 8+).

4 squads · the full draft experience — wants 8+ Joes.

Season format
How the season is decided. Points Race is one cumulative table all year — simplest to follow. Head-to-Head plays monthly squad matchups with a W–L record; Hybrid runs the points race and adds a +15 bonus to each month's matchup winner.

Hybrid: season-long points race, plus a +15 squad bonus to each month's head-to-head winner.

Competitiveness — pick once, argue never
One pick that bundles the fairness rules — handicap allowance, score verification, and eligible courses. Casual is honor-system beer league, Standard wants GHIN-posted rounds, Cutthroat adds attestation and rated tees. Every individual dial unlocks with Commissioner Pro.
Counting cap BEST N ROUNDS / MONTH
Best 4
The core fairness dial. Only your best N rounds each month score for the squad, so the retiree who plays daily can't bury the dad who plays weekly. A better round automatically replaces your worst counter — posting never stops mattering.
Participation floor MIN ROUNDS / MONTH · −5 SQD PTS SHORT
2 / mo
The anti-ghosting rule. Every player must post at least this many rounds a month, or the squad takes a penalty — −5 points per round short under Standard rules. One commissioner-approved bye month per season covers vacations and injuries.
