It's intended to be a secondary competition to add a matchup type feel to the grind of the normal Pairs Divisions race. The individual matchup inside each Cup bracket can be played head-to-head by just sending a Steam invite to your opponent. Both team scores get recorded in the Pairs Divisions race as though you played by yourself. Because it's now open to all divisions, and seeding is based on your total points scored in the previous month, the chances of two high scoring teams meeting early in the bracket is greatly reduced. In short, it takes some of the randomness of your opponent out of the equation. Several of the teams have expressed an interest in matching up as 2v2 foursomes. This is a way to do that.
Good luck to all, and matchup as often as you can (though it's not mandatory).
This will be the last month that the theme is MAJORS. Next month's ( Jan 2022) theme will be courses from the same geographic location. We are also considering going to an 18 hole format.
