Stableford Betting
Points-based scoring that rewards good holes and limits the damage from bad ones.
In Stableford, you earn points on each hole based on your score relative to par. Unlike stroke play where one blow-up hole can ruin your round, Stableford caps the downside and rewards aggressive play.
How Stableford Points Work
The point values are configurable when you create the challenge. A common point system is:
| Score | Points |
|---|---|
| Eagle or better | 4 points |
| Birdie | 3 points |
| Par | 2 points |
| Bogey | 1 point |
| Double bogey or worse | 0 points |
The highest total points wins. You can customize these values when setting up the challenge.
