Two teams, gross scores and one pooled prize
This fixture compares one gross 18-hole scramble score for each four-player team and applies no handicap. The stake is $20 per team, not a charge for each of eight players against every opponent: only two team contributions fund the $40 pool. The lower gross total wins the stated private pool. Do not add a handicap allowance unless a verified module and the event's terms specify one.

Common questions
Is the stake per team or per person?
Per team. At $20 a team this fixture creates exactly two contributions (a $40 pool in all), not an implicit eight-player cross-payment.
Are handicaps applied?
No. This $20-a-team gross-score fixture nets Team A +$20 and Team B -$20 on gross alone, unless separately verified competition terms provide a handicap method.
What if the teams tie?
A tie procedure must be agreed before play; this no-tie $20-a-team, $40-pool fixture does not invent one.
