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'm a little confused with this. are you trying to show me another way to "represent" what teams won each hole?  Plus, I didn't see any formulas associated with this. Is this just a visual representation and I need to plug in the earlier formulas you sent?

    here's another twist to the plot.  I have "OPEN" players (Under 60 yrs of age) and I have "SENIOR" players (60 and over).  The only section I have to consider separating these two groups is the "1st and 2nd LOW NET - Open (FRONT, BACK, & 18) and the "1st and 2nd LOW NET - Senior (FRONT, BACK, & 18).  I colored coded the 60 & over (RED).  I currently have only the scores identified in the cells within the section mentioned, but rather than scores there I would like to have the names only (associated with those low winning scores) populate those cells.  would that be possible?

    EX: WEST, Sr (a SENIOR player) is identified with the LOW NET score of 48 for 18 holes. currently the "48" populates the 1st place cell of 18 holes in both the OPEN and SENIOR sections. I would like only his name populate the SENIOR area.

    and INGRAM (an OPEN player) is identified with LOW NET score of 51 for 18 holes. currently the "51" populates the 1st place cell of 18 holes in both the OPEN and SENIOR sections. I would like only his name populate the OPEN area.

    the same would be required for the 9/9 FRONT 1st and 2nd and the 9/9 BACK 1st and 2nd in both the OPEN and the SENIOR section
