Can't set this up on IG, getting a message that Par / Bogey competitions are for individual play only. Would welcome any comments before referring to IG. Thanks.

We use Handicapmaster. Looking on their manual, Pairs BB Bogey is not supported, singles only.

Didn’t think you could have 4BBB/Pairs Par bogey comps ? Always thought a Par Comp was singles against the course

We occasionally run a Team Bogey, but it's a bit brutal. ++-- is a half for the team, +0-- is a loss for the team, and so on.

If it's better ball then its only the best net score that counts , so you would only mark 1 score anyway.

Appendix F in the CONGU manual seems to recognise they are played
Par/Bogey
Singles - Full handicap
Foursomes - 1/2 combined handicap of partners
Four-ball - Each partner receives 90% of full handicap
(better ball)
Stableford
Singles - Full handicap
Foursomes - 1/2 combined handicap of partners
Four-ball - Each partner receives 90% of full handicap
(better ball)

Strange that the best 2 ISPs don't support them.

I have asked them why not.
Do any others?

You can set it up on V1 ( just had a go)so it surprises me that IG doesn't have a template within the BB format. Are you going deep enough in creating the comp?
Most systems have the same functions.

Probably because anyone who knows anything about golf never uses the word 'pairs' when describing a golf competition.

I love a pairs comp as my partner gets to have all the pressure put on them.Probably because anyone who knows anything about golf never uses the word 'pairs' when describing a golf competition.

Wow, I didn't know that! Naturally I was curious about this so checked a few websites and, you are right !, the word 'pairs' doesn't seem to appear in the R&A, England Golf, Scottish Golf or Congu websites.Probably because anyone who knows anything about golf never uses the word 'pairs' when describing a golf competition.
Thank you for pointing this out. I will just refer to singles, four-ball and foursomes in future. Please ignore the word 'pairs' in the thread title.
Obviously I fail to qualify as someone who knows anything about golf, so please accept my apologies for my stupidity and ignorance in asking what I considered to be a reasonable question.
All you need to do now is inform all the golf clubs advertising "Pairs" Opens on the Scottish Golf website and Golf Empire website, that they too, don't "know anything about golf".

HandicapMaster does support these formats

My post was based on the Handicapmaster online help system which did not show it as a possible format. I have now tried to open a template for it and it seems as if that will work.

I am assured by Nick that the system has had the feature for years.
