I was always fascinated by the electronic trivia game that allows pub patrons to compete against people in their own bar while simultaneously going up against other pubs throughout north america. We introduced a simple version of a golfscoring Super League in 2010 as a trial and although people liked the concept the groupings were too large and the scoring method clearly needed an overhaul so that both larger and smaller leagues could compete equitably. In 2011, the Super Leagues were much smaller (a maximum of 15 leagues in each grouping) and rather than a set number of scores per league a club/league score was based on an average of the scores posted. This allowed leagues of varying size to compete with one another fairly. Each week, the system isolated the net scores from each league, determined the low 10% and then calculated the average (relative to par) score of those players. Ex. Prestige Country Club recorded 150 league scores for week # 1. The low 15 net scores (relative to par) add up to (- 45). That number (- 45) is divided by 15 to determine the average so the Super League score for Prestige Country Club is (- 3) for week # 1. Their score of (- 3) was compared against the other leagues within their Super League grouping. Leagues received one (1) point for each league they beat each week. The only change for 2012 is that the Super League Competition will be contested in an elimination format. Each week, the team at the bottom of their respective Super League Standings will get the boot. This will continue for the season until there is only one club/league remaining. This should add even more excitement to the competition because there will be an undeniable sense of urgency each week. As of yet, we are still working on Super League sponsorship in order to procure a suitable trophy and establish a prize pool but, for now, bragging rights and, hopefully, an improved sense of community amongst your league members is enough of a reward. Good luck and please forward any comments regarding the Super League concept to pat@golfscoring.net
