START WITH A FORMAT.
THEN MAKE IT YOURS.

Every BGL league begins with one of six core formats. From there, dynamic commissioner controls let you shape the roster, scoring, season, bonuses, draft or pick mechanics and more — creating hundreds of thousands of possible league setups.

BGL FORMAT · A WORKED EXAMPLE

Three levers can change the entire league.

BGL makes the customization concept easy to see. Number of Tiers, Size of Tiers and Picks Per Tier work together to determine both the ranked player pool and the size of every pick sheet.

1 · Number of Tiers

Choose how many ranked groups of golfers make up the pick sheet.

Standard example: 6 tiers

2 · Size of Tiers

Set how many ranked golfers appear in each tier.

Standard example: 20 per tier

3 · Picks Per Tier

Decide how many golfers each team selects from every tier.

Standard example: 5 per tier
CHANGE THE SETTINGS · SEE THE RESULT

Same format. Completely different league.

The app does the math as the commissioner changes the levers. The standard example creates 120 ranked golfers and 30 picks per sheet. Change the same controls to 3 tiers, 10 golfers per tier and 2 picks per tier, and the league becomes 30 ranked golfers with only 6 picks per sheet.

SCORING · EVENTS · CAPTAINS

The roster is only the beginning.

Commissioners can also shape how points are awarded and where bonuses come from. BGL's standard table counts the Top 7 Scores at 10/6/5/4/3/2/1, but those values are adjustable. Special tournaments can use their own point boosts, and Captain Picks can add another layer of strategy.

EVERY FORMAT HAS ITS OWN LEVERS

Customization isn't just a BGL feature.

The controls change with the format because the games themselves are different. Standard rules give every league a strong starting point; commissioners decide how far to take it.

Trifecta

Draft rounds, cut requirements, counts, draft order, entries and payouts. Tune each connected leg.

All Play

Positions paid, Greenie values, ties, major multipliers, season range and waivers.

BGL

Tiers, tier size, picks per tier, scoring, captains, bonuses and season controls.

Greenie

Pick style, tier shape, scoring method, roster, mulligans and season type.

One & Done

Scoring method and season structure. Preserve the one-use strategy while changing how results accumulate.

Survivor

Elimination mode, weekly picks, survival rules, mulligans, missed picks, late joins and season range.

THE STANDARD RULES ARE THE STARTING POINT

Build the game your group wants to play.

You don't need to customize anything to get started. Every format has standard settings ready to play. Advanced controls are there for commissioners who want to make the league more personal, more strategic or simply different.
