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))

    Understand fully.

    1. I'm not quite sure what you were trying to tell me about this at the bottom of the spreadsheet?
    Team #1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Team #2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Team #3 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
    Team #4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Team #5 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
    Team #6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Team #7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Team #8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Team #1 Team #5

    1. How would I identify if 2 or more teams have scores that tie on a hole and color code a separate cell to show that hole is no longer eligible for a "skin" (money for winning that hole)

    EX:  the row of cells that identify "SKIN HOLES ELIMINATED" on the spreadsheet. If Teams 1 and 5 both have birdies then the hole is eliminated. If Team 1 has 2 birdies and either one or more have only 1 birdie, then Team 1 "wins" due to "2 to 1". and if no birdies by any team, the hole is also eliminated.

    1. The Individual Skins formula is great!  What I also need is the Team Skins formula, which would take into account the "Team Winner" per hole (as per question #2 relates) and populate "by name of Team" (Team #1, etc) in the "Team Skins" section of the spreadsheet

    and last (as far as my brain will tell me) is:

    1. how to identify the "LOW NET 9/9 FRONT and BACK and individual "LOW NET 18" winners by name according to the color code of their name (BLACK = OPEN players; RED=SENIOR players) and populate their name (not score - that's already identified in the "LOW NET" column) in the last section of the spreadsheet ("LOW NET 9/9 FRONT and BACK and 18 LOW NET (OPEN and SENIOR))

    Testing what I have already today or tomorrow at the golf course
