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))

    me again!

    a couple of little issues:

    1. 3-man teams vs 4-man teams.

    Challenge:  TEAM SCORING (1st, 2nd, 3rd) FRONT and BACK

    I've gone in a removed the 4th Man position (row) in the REQ TM PTS and the HOLE PTS per hole and have that working correctly.

    Issue:  The current TEAM SCORING currently has a formula for a 4-person team.  I've gone into the TEAM SCORING formula(s) to try and delete the section that relates to that 4th person, but so far no luck.  Either get ###### or #NUM or #VALUE! in the boxes instead of the Team Score or the Team Name

    If we have 1 to 2 teams which consist of 3 players and the other 4 to 5 teams are 4 players, will the current formulas still give accurate computations. I know if I change from a 4 to a 3 player formula in their individual Team rows things work out, but how will the areas such as TEAM SCORING and TEAM SKINS be affected if there is a mixture of 3 and 4 man teams?

    1. the last 3 rows (Y or N - 9/9, 18, & SKINS)

    Challenge:  Identified a player with an "N" since he did pay to be in the 9/9, yet because he had the 2nd best LOW NET Back 9 score, his name populated the 2nd place position within the 9/9 LOW NET (OPEN) scoring box

    It looks like the formula carries it through Column "AN" which is the last column and is titled "SKINS". it would look like to me if the formula carries it through to the last column and if the column has a "Y", then the other two columns "AL" (9/9) and "AM"(18) would be overridden by "AN"'s "Y" even if the had "N" and "N" in their respective columns. I tried making it either AL or AM or AN, but it would leave the same type #NUM or #VALUE! in the cells
