Scoring Rules
Master the mechanics of Clubpicks. From stroke play to cut penalties, understand exactly how your team builds a winning score.
Core Mechanics
Stroke Scoring
A player's score is calculated based on their strokes relative to par. Negative numbers (under par) are good, positive numbers add to your total.
Live Updates
Scores update in real-time as players complete holes. Your team total is the sum of all your active players' scores.
Penalties
Missed Cut
Players who miss the cut receive a fixed penalty of +8 strokes for each remaining round (typically Rounds 3 & 4).
Withdrawal (WD)
If a player withdraws, they receive +8 strokes for every incomplete round remaining in the tournament.

Common Questions
What happens during a playoff?
Playoff holes do not count towards fantasy scoring. Final scores are determined at the conclusion of standard regulation play (usually 72 holes).
When are scores finalized?
Scores are unofficial until the PGA TOUR validates the final results, typically 15-30 minutes after the last putt drops.
