Multiply Scores

Want to add a twist to your team Stableford event? The Multiply scoring method multiplies each player's Stableford points together on each hole instead of adding them. It rewards teams where both players contribute — if either player scores zero points, the team gets zero for that hole.

Before you begin

Multiply scoring is available for team events using the Stableford format. Make sure you've created your event and selected Stableford as the scoring format.

Video walkthrough

Here's a quick overview of the Multiply scoring method in Golfify.

Enable Multiply Scoring​

  1. From your event, tap the gear icon to open the Host Menu.

  2. Tap Event Settings, then scroll to Format & Scoring.

  3. In the scoring method section, you'll see two options:

    • Addition — the standard method, where team scores are added together for each hole.
    • Multiply — team scores are multiplied together for each hole.

  4. Select Multiply.

  5. Tap Save.

How It Works​

With Multiply scoring, each player's Stableford points on a hole are multiplied together to produce the team score for that hole.

Example:

  • Player A scores a net birdie (3 points) and Player B scores a net eagle (4 points) → team score is 3 × 4 = 12 points.
  • Player A scores a par (2 points) and Player B scores a par (2 points) → team score is 2 × 2 = 4 points.
  • Player A scores a double bogey (0 points) and Player B scores a birdie (3 points) → team score is 0 × 3 = 0 points.

The multiplication method encourages both players to score well on every hole — a zero from either player wipes out the team's score for that hole entirely.

When to use Multiply scoring

The Multiply method works best in single-round team events with Better Ball. In multi-round events, the score distortion from multiplication can become quite large — if you're running a multi-round event, consider using Multiply only when you have an individual overall leaderboard alongside the team scores.

Score distortion

Multiply scoring produces much higher (or much lower) team totals than addition. Net and gross scores on the team leaderboard won't look like traditional Stableford totals — this is expected. Individual player scores are unaffected.
