Configuring EXCEL spreadsheet for a men's golf association BLITZ format #2

I need another formula that take the individual's score on a hole, converts it to a STABLEFORD format (ex: DOUBLE BOGEY = 0 pts; BOGEY = 1 pt; PAR = 2 pts; BIRDIE = 3 pts; EAGLE = 4 pts; DOUBLE EAGLE = 8 pts).  So if an individual shoots a "4" on a PAR 4 hole, he would get "2 pts" for his team.

So the formula would have to identify the following(all within the same formula because the 3 or 4 team members could shoot different scores:

(PAR = required total number of strokes for that hole)

  • 2 below PAR = 4 pts
  • 1 below PAR = 3 pts

EVEN PAR = 2 pts

+1 over PAR = 1 pt

+2 over PAR = 0 pts

EXAMPLE on spreadsheet:

TEAM #1               PAR (4)           TM PTS

Player A                   4                        6

Player B                   3                        7

Player C                   5                        1

Player D                  6                         0

Formula needs to populate the "TM PTS" cells with the STABLEFORD scores established from the PAR cells score

You could use a formula like this for column C, where the scores are given in rows 3 to, let's say, 20, and names are in column A.

=IF(COUNTIF(C3:C20,MIN(C3:C20))=1,INDEX($A3:$A20,MATCH(MIN(C3:C20),C3:C20,False),"")

If two people shoot the same lowest score the cell will remain blank. IF you have more rows (or fewer) adjust the 20 in all places.

You can copy this formula to the other 17 columns to identify the best player.

As for the low net, is that adjusted for handicap, or is it on a straight lowest strokes basis? If you have a column where the net is summed for each player, then the formula above will give the name of the lowest based on that column.

Either this:

=144-SUM(A2:A4)/2

or

=(144-SUM(A2:A4))/2

depends on what you divide by two - the sum of the team handicap, which is then subtracted from 144, or 144 minus  the sum of the team handicap.

Cell D8 is the rollup for the hole for the 4 team members:

=IF(D4-D$1>=2,0,IF(D4-D$1<=-3,8,D$1-D4+2))+IF(D5-D$1>=2,0,IF(D5-D$1<=-3,8,D$1-D5+2))+IF(D6-D$1>=2,0,IF(D6-D$1<=-3,8,D$1-D6+2))+IF(D7-D$1>=2,0,IF(D7-D$1<=-3,8,D$1-D7+2))

Which is copied to the right for the other 17 holes (E8:U8), and B8 just has

=SUM(D8:U8)

If you have different pars on different holes, then you need to have a column for those 18 values.  

Let's say that par for the hole 1 is in B2, hole 2 in C2 (and so on across the row) and the first player's scores start in cell B3 and continue across Row 3, second player is in row 4, and so on...

This formula will give the points for the first player on hole 1, and can be copied across to match all 18 holes, and down to match all your players, converting all the scores to points:

=IF(B3-B$2>=2,0,IF(B3-B$2<=-3,8,B$2-B3+2))

    I know you probably think I'm crazy, but our golf group has all the side bets going on so I need to capture all of them, too, in the spreadsheet. with this last formula I will have all of the figuring done.

    all that is left is figuring out if EXCEL will allow me to identify the LOW NET winning scores and move  the names associated with those scores to another cell within the spreadsheet.  In other words, when PLAYER A, TEAM #5 is the low score on a particular hole from all of the players, he is identified and his name appears in the cell below that represents what hole he had the only birdie or eagle on.

    same with LOW NET on FRONT 9 and BACK 9 and 18 holes overall. the scores have already been identified in the upper part of the spreadsheet, but I would like their names (or I guess I could assign numbers to their names) to be automatically shown in the cells in the area below.  Would that be possible?

    INDIVIDUAL SKINS
    FRONT HOLE #1 HOLE #2 HOLE #3 HOLE #4 HOLE #5 HOLE #6 HOLE #7 HOLE #8 HOLE #9 BACK HOLE #10 HOLE #11 HOLE #12 HOLE #13 HOLE #14 HOLE #15 HOLE #16 HOLE #17 HOLE #18
    PAR 4 4 4 5 3 5 4 3 4 PAR 5 4 4 4 3 4 4 3 5
    SKIN SKIN
    TEAM SKINS
    FRONT HOLE #1 HOLE #2 HOLE #3 HOLE #4 HOLE #5 HOLE #6 HOLE #7 HOLE #8 HOLE #9 BACK HOLE #10 HOLE #11 HOLE #12 HOLE #13 HOLE #14 HOLE #15 HOLE #16 HOLE #17 HOLE #18
    PAR 4 4 4 5 3 5 4 3 4 PAR 5 4 4 4 3 4 4 3 5
    SKIN SKIN
    9/9 LOW NET (OPEN) - FRONT **** **** 9/9  LOW NET (SENIOR) - FRONT
    FIRST **** FIRST
    SECOND **** SECOND
    9/9 LOW NET (OPEN) - BACK **** **** 9/9  LOW NET (SENIOR) - BACK
    FIRST FIRST
    SECOND SECOND
    18 LOW NET (OPEN) **** **** 18 LOW NET (SENIOR)
    FIRST FIRST
    SECOND SECOND
