- par for the hole (net or gross) – par competition,
- bogey for the hole (net or gross) – bogey competition or
- any other value or values specified in Terms of the Competition.
Players award points at each hole as follows:
- 1 point for a score lower than the threshold value,
- 0 for a score equal to the threshold value and
- -1 point for a score higher than the the threshold value.
The side with the highest total number of points wins.
