Twosome Texas scramble ?

Texas scramble is normally 3some or 4some - has anybody heard of a "pairs" format with Texas scramble and if so what were the rules re scoring ?

there is a 2 ball scramble called 'Ambrose scramble' where you play the better ball and I presume medal play and then after totalling up your score you deduct a quarter of the combination of your handicaps i.e. a 12 and 20 handicapper score of 78 gross becomes 70 net

Anybody else play any kind of 2-man scrambles ?

Played a 2 man scramble at my club a few weeks ago. Added the 2 handicaps together and divide by 6 for your 'team' handicap. Play the game as a normal scramble and count a minimum of 5 drives each. We came in with 43 points stableford and won!!!!

Chris was the two handicaps added together divided by 6 (being a stableford criterior)and rounded up/down to the nearest and then added back to your total ? ...... in the Medal examples I've come across the calculations have been to 2 decimal points !

The reason I'm asking is because I need feedback on 2-man scramble examples to apply on one of our away days and I'm looking for comments on what might be the best ?   

Colin, the handicaps were rounded up or down depending on which side of the .5 your combined handicaps worked out to. For example, 12.4 +16.7 = 29.1. divide by 6 =4.85 rounded up to 5. This was how they worked it out for our club comp. You could round them up or down before adding together and then dividing by 6 which in this instance makes .02 difference. As long as they are all calculated the same there should be no problem. I can see the advantage of 2 decimal places in medal but couldn't see how you apply it in stableford. Ties would end up in the usual countback. Hope this helps.
