4 Person Scramble Format
The 4 Person Scramble is one of the most common golf tournament formats for charity outings, company events, fundraisers, club events, and large group tournaments.
How A 4 Person Scramble Works
Each player on the team tees off on every hole.
The team chooses the best shot, then all four players play their next shot from that location. This continues until the ball is holed.
The team records one score for each hole.
Common Scramble Rules
- Each team records one score per hole
- Teams may use gross scoring, net scoring, or both
- Some events require a minimum number of tee shots from each player
- Flights may be used for larger fields
- Tie-breakers may use scorecard playoff rules
Common Handicap Methods
Handicap methods vary by course, league, and tournament director. Some events are gross only, while others apply a team handicap.
- Combined team handicap percentage
- Weighted handicap allowance by player ability
