| 2-Man Best Ball | 2 | The best net score on the team |

- A hole counts as soon as enough teammates have a score. It never waits on a pick-up or a partner who is still out on the course.
- A better score entered later replaces the counted one.
- The board shows each team’s total to par. Tap a team to see every member’s card, with the counted scores in bold.
- Each round can play a different one of these games, and teams can change round by round. When partners change, the board adds an Overall tab ranking players on their teams’ scores.
