Countback within the Dotgolf platform

Countback within the Dotgolf platform

In the DotGolf platform, countback is performed to break ties (unless turned off while generating competition result reports).


In all competition types, the following is the sequence of scores considered to determine the winner of a tie:


  1. The best total round score.
  2. The best score on the last:
    1. 9 holes
    2. 6 holes
    3. 3 holes
    4. 1 hole


Net competitions

A special case applies for Net competitions, where the allowed strokes are NOT applied to the holes using the stroke indexes; but instead are applied to the holes equally.  For example, when doing countback for the last 9 holes, half the player's course handicap is applied to the gross score to calculate the net score for countback.


Best n of m round competitions

For multiple round competitions where the players either play all competition rounds or have the option to play a minimum number of competition rounds, a countback is performed using the last played best counting cards.
