How WTGL scoring works
- A match is 15 holes: a nine-hole Triples session (all three players per side, alternate shot) followed by six Singles holes, each player taking two.
- Win a hole, win a point. Halved holes score nothing.
- Each team has three Hammers per match. Thrown before a hole starts, the opponent must accept and the hole is worth 2 points. Thrown mid-hole, the opponent may accept (2 points), decline and concede the hole, or throw one back (3 points).
- If the match is tied after 15 holes, overtime is a closest-to-the-pin tiebreaker, best two of three, worth one point.
- Standings: two points for a win, with holes won breaking ties.
