Tournament within a Tournament?

[redtip]

okay here we go -- I play in a Skins game that has gross and net payouts, cannot win both. ( sometime 120 players)

it is a great deal- the extras you get for the price - thats why I am thinking to bring say 20 -24 players to enter form my Legion.

So - we play in the skins with our handicaps - record our normal scores and the course figures out the skins tourney winners...

and my guys play another tournament within that one...

each group would be a 4 some - so say 6 foursomes....  the question would be - what format would be best?

I can only see Best ball being the one to play -as each player has to play his own ball all the way on each hole for the skins.., so a scramble is out of the question...

and the one problem I see is we have HCaps as high as a 27 and low as a 7 in a foursome..

maybe hopeful thinking - solet me know what options are out there... Thanks

Are all the handicaps genuine?

You could try your best to sort the players into 4 somes that have an A, B, C, and D player.  Rather than best ball, try best two balls so that it discourages picking up on a hole.

yes, the HC's are genuine - for example in my group we would have a 27 - 21 - 14 and a 7

who knows what the others are right now - or if  they have one...but I am sure they do if they are in the skins tournament.

I think what i may have to do is just do a scramble with some foursomes on another day.

trying to keep it easy on the brain.

. If all the handicaps are valid in your group of 24, you could simply do a blind draw beforehand for 2 man teams and play a net best ball game. Simple, fun, and with partners distributed throughout the group, no opportunity for anyone to cheat.

okay this blind draw - is it done before hand or after the round?

I like this, because the foursomes can play as friends not knowing who in the 24 will be their partner?

until - when?

whoops just saw the Before hand thing...  does it matter when you do the blind draw?

Either way. I prefer before, because I like the give and take and competitive gamesmanship throughout the day, but you can do it either way. You can also then pair partners together with another team if you want. That adds some fun to it too.....
