"Match Play" is a competition format in which two players play against each other. In "Team Match Play" players from a team are paired against players from another team by handicap. The winner of the match is determined by the most points won. There are several different ways to win points.
In "Team Match Play" two different teams play against each other each week. The lowest handicap player from each team plays against each other. The next higher handicap players play each other. The team's points are the total points from each team member that played. Some leagues award points for the lowest total net score.
The points awarded for each of these areas can be modified to match each league's own point system.

A Flight in golf is used to place golfers in a division based on their skills. A player would only play against other players within his or her flight. This assures a player is playing against players of the same skill level. A golfer's handicap is the normal method to determine a player's flight. For example, Flight A is all players with a 8 handicap and lower. Flight B is all players with a 9 handicap or greater and below or equal to a 16 handicap.
"Flight Scoring" awards points based on where a player placed in his/her flight after the round of golf. The player with the lowest net score in their flight is awarded the highest point value.
The point value can be determine a few different ways. 1) The number of players in the flight that played that round is the point value. 2) A fixed point value.
The points awarded can be modified to match each league's own point system.

Stableford system award points based on the number of strokes per hole. The lower the number of strokes per hole the higher the points awarded. A player plays against the course, not an opponent.
Player ranking is determined by the total number of points for all rounds played. LeagueSync has added an option to drop a selectable number of lowest rounds. This allows a player to miss a few rounds and still be competitive.
It is a popular form of the game, especially at club level and particularly in the United Kingdom, as it is still possible to record a competitive score despite having the occasional bad hole.

3 Under Par or Less | -3 | 5 |

The player's handicap per hole is subtracted from the number of strokes per hole. The points are determined after subtracting the handicap strokes per hole. See example round below.
The points awarded can be modified to match each league's own point system.

Team scoring uses the same scoring method as Individual Stableford scoring. The team's score for a round is the sum of all team member's individual score.
"Best Ball" scoring uses the same scoring rules as "Match Play" with teams. With Best Ball the lowest stroke per hole (with handicap) from each team is used to create the team's stroke for each hole. The Best Ball round is used to determine points between the two teams playing each other.
The points awarded for each of these areas can be modified to match each league's own point system.
