SIDE GAMES (OPTIONAL)


Chicago Quota-$20.00

Chicago is based on a quota system, where each golfer is given a quota based on their 3-5 rule course handicap. The quota of points is determined by the following formula:

36 - Course Handicap
As an example, a golfer with a 1 handicap would have a quota of 35 points, while a golfer with a 20 handicap would have a quota of 16. The minimum quota is 11 points, given to golfers with handicaps of 25 and above. 
Winners of the Chicago quata are all the player whose point total for 18 holes  exceeds his or her quota ( if no one exceeds their quota, the winners are the golfer who comes the closest. 1st will win 65% of the pot and 2nd will recieve 35%). 

Note that points are based on gross (not handicap adjusted) scores. Your handicap is taken into account when calculating your quota.  

PAYOUTS- If the pot is worth $ 500.00 and player A has accumulated 3  point over quota and player B accumulated 2 points over quota. That would make 5 total points combined over quota. With $500.00 in the pot divided by 5 points then each point would be worth $100.00. Player A would be paid $300.00 and Player B would be paid $200.00. Maximum points allowed over quota is 5, which would be 100 to one odds.
