THE BIG KAHUNA CUP – LEAGUE PLAY
The Big Kahuna Cup League is the ultimate in weekly mini golf fun! You and your Teammate will compete each week against a random team. You will receive points for the Win / Loss / Tie PLUS your combined score will count towards your overall rankings.
​
Here's How It Works:
HEAD-TO-HEAD POINTS
+ AVG SCORE BONUS
= TOTAL POINTS / SEASON RANKING
Head-To-Head Matchups
​
-
Win = 4 points
-
Tiebreaker Win = 3 points
-
Tiebreaker Loss = 2 points
-
Loss = 1 point
​
Tiebreakers: We don’t believe in Ties here at Surf’s Up , so for any and all ties it will be a One Hole Playoff (Hole 18) with Closest To The Hole on the first shot as the second tiebreaker.
Average Score Rankings Bonus
​
Each week your Team will also be ranked based on an Average of your Combined Team Scores (avg of your best 5 scores)
​
At the end of the Season, each team will receive Bonus Points based on their overall Scoring Performance Ranking.
​
1st Place = 18 Bonus Points
2nd Place = 16 Bonus Points
​
And so on…

Special Notes
​
-
Alternates: Each team may have 1 Alternate for 1 Week only. The alternate’s score can be no better than par for their final score.
-
Bonus Rides Each week that your team comes in a Team “Costume” or uniform, you will receive Free Practice Passes to play another time during that week.
FORMAT DEFINITIONS
​
Standard Format: Each player plays their own ball for all 18 holes. The total number of combined strokes determines the score. Lowest score wins.
​
Best Ball: Each teammate plays the hole individually. The lower of the two scores is recorded as the team score for that hole for each player.
​
Scramble: Both teammates tee off. Choose the better shot, then both play from that spot. Repeat until the hole is finished. Record the team’s total strokes per hole.
​
Alternate Shots: Teammates take turns hitting the same ball. One tees off, the other takes the next shot, alternating until the hole is completed. Record total strokes as the team score.

WEEKLY PLAY RULES
​
General Play Rules
-
Play Order: Players from each team alternate. Player Team 1, Player Team 2, and so on. The team with the lowest score on the previous hole tees off first.
-
Tee Off: All players must tee off from behind the first paver.
-
Flags: Must remain in the hole at all times.
-
Stroke Count: Each stroke counts, including accidental taps, unless it was on the tee and does not advance past the first paver.
-
Max Strokes per Hole: 6 strokes max per player. If not holed by stroke 6, record a 6 and move on.
-
Out of Bounds: If a ball leaves the course or lands in water, place it back at the point of exit and add 1 penalty stroke.
-
Stuck Ball: If your ball gets stuck against a wall or in an obstacle, you can move it up to one putter-head length away from the obstacle (no closer to the hole) with no penalty.
-
Interference: If a player interferes with another player’s shot, in any way, they receive a one stroke penalty, and the initial player can retake their shot.
-
Equipment: Players can bring their own putters; however Surf’s Up Mini Golf balls must be used. The Home Team chooses their colors first.
-
Scoring: The Home Team will keep score Electronically (digital scorecard) while the Visiting Team will keep score on the paper Scorecard. The Paper Scorecard will record individual players, however the Digital Scorecard will be for just the Team Name and the combined score.
Let's Have Some Fun!!!
