League details & Registration
Format
Format for Major League Footgolf is Head-to-Head like any regular soccer league. Each week, teams within a local division will be matched up against each other and earn a Win, Loss, or Draw. Each match will be played over a 9 hole round (about 1 hour). Teams will play each other 1 or 2 times depending on division size and have a playoff round.
Team Size
Players can play as a 1-person or 2-person team. A 2-person team has an advantage by playing as a 2-person scramble and has a lower cost per person. At least 1 player from each team is needed to play a match. Teams can be made of any gender combination as all teams tee off from the same location.
2-Person Scramble
Scramble format involves 2-person teams where each player on the team hits a tee shot (kick), then the players decide which shot they like better. The two players then play from that spot. The person who's shot was not taken picks up their ball and moves it to within one ball length of the selected spot.
Co-ed Mulligan
To encourage co-ed play, a co-ed team or team with at least 1 female will be given 1 optional mulligan (do-over kick) for each match. Everyone still tees off from the same location (as decided by our female players)! Both players may re-kick when using the mulligan. Note: winners of our first 2 local leagues and 1 tournament were co-ed squads without using a mulligan!
Ball / Shoe Restrictions
Ball: Use of any FIFA or NFGA approved outdoor soccer ball is allowed. Ball size used must be in accordance with age group or older. If using a Jabulani or Speed Cell ball, that team starts each match, -2. point/hole behind (other team has a 2 point/hole head start). Does not apply if both teams are using said balls.
Shoe: Any soccer or tennis shoe by a major manufacturer is allowed with the exception of out door cleats as mandated by the golf courses. ideal boot is a turf shoe with small nubs. Safety note: indoor or flat bottom shoes increases your chance of slipping.
Match Scoring
The team that sinks each hole with the fewest strokes wins the hole. Each hole is either won, lost, or tied by each team. Strokes are reset for each hole. The team who wins the most holes, wins the match. An example of a 9-hole match score is: 4-2, where team A won 4 holes, team B won 2 holes, and 3 holes were tied
League Scoring
Scoring is similar to soccer league, table style scoring plus a participation point. A "Win" gives 3 points, "Draw" gives1 point, "Loss" gives 0 points, and 1 participation point for showing up. So the max for a win is 4 points, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for a loss, and 0 for a no-show/forfeit. The 2 teams with the most points at the end of the season, advance to a 1 match final to determine the Division Champion!
Tie-Breaker
In league play through the regular season, ties are allowed just like most soccer leagues. If a tie in total points exists at the end of the season, the tie breaker is as follows in the order listed below:
1. Forfeit. (If a team forfeited any match, they are ranked at the bottom of teams tied)
2. Goals For. (Team with the higher "Goals For" is ranked higher)
3. Goal Differential. (If the "Goals For" is tied, then the team with the highest "G.D." is ranked higher)
