Full Quota rules

Quota

2 to 5 players. Also called Chicago system, quota points.

In Quota each player has a points target of 36 minus their Playing Handicap and earns points for bogeys, pars, birdies and eagles. The winner is whoever beats their own target by the most, which keeps players of any ability in the game.

How to play

  1. Work out each player's target: 36 minus Playing Handicap. A 12 handicap has a target of 24.
  2. Score points on gross scores: bogey 1, par 2, birdie 4, eagle 8. Double bogey or worse scores nothing.
  3. Add up the round. Subtract the target from the points to see whether the player is over or under quota.
  4. Rank players by points over or under their target. Pairs settle the difference.

Example

Ann has a 12 handicap, so her target is 24. She scores 27 points, which is 3 over her quota. Bo has a 20 handicap, so his target is 16, and he scores 15, which is 1 under.
