Battle Ball Tournament Each team plays a 3-person scramble and 1 player plays the “battle ball”. This rotates among players, changing each hole. For example: player A on hole 1, player B on hole 2 and so forth throughout the round. Each player will take a “tee shot” and the team will select the best ball to play. From that point, three (3) players will continue in a scramble format and the fourth player will continue as the designated “battle ball” player. On the Green, the three scramble players putt from the best ball closest to the pin. The "battle ball" player plays his/her own ball. Bogie is your friend. In “Battle Ball” two scores per hole are added to become the team score. One is the scramble score and the other the “battle ball” score.
