Net Score Team Sum (NSTS)
Game Summary
Net Score Team Sum is the 'Purest' Kind of Team Game. It Employs All Team Members 'Raw' Net Scores with No Cutoff and No Manipulation. And, as it Employs use of each Player's Course Handicap the game is a Fair Competition between Players of Varying Skills.
Rules For Net Score Team Sum
1) Play all Holes out
2) The Team Hole Score is the Sum of Net Scores for All Players on the Team.
3) Each Player's Net Score is determined by a percentage of the Player's Course Handicap. Most often that percentage is 100%.
4) The Overall Team Score is the Sum of All Team Hole Scores.
5) The Team with the Lowest Total For all Holes is the Winner.
Note: For Games in which There are More than Two Players, if the Game Manager Elects to Count Fewer than ~ALL~ of the Team Member Scores
Then that Game Simply Becomes a Variation of Best Ball and is No Longer an NSTS Game.
