Equipment

You only need one thing to play the StataWorld Disc Golf course, and we will provide it: an official StataWorld DGA Blowfly disc. Only these discs are allowed, because they're soft and won't damage people or stuff.

Rules

1. Players will sign up for a tee time in advance of the event; details about this forthcoming (tee times are expected to fall somewhere between 1pm and 5pm on Sunday, January 23). Players should report to the first tee at or just before their tee time.
2. Players will likely be grouped into foursomes. One person in the group will be designated the scorekeeper for the group, and will be responsible for recording each person's score after each hole.
3. Anyone playing with anything other than a soft Blowfly disc will have 27,875 points deducted from their team's score. Keep the kids safe.
4. Yell "Fore!" before any throw. Even though these discs we're using are soft, it's still not any fun to get hit in the head with one.

Scoring

During play, you will record the number of strokes that you take to complete each hole on the supplied scorecard; your score (based on the algorithm below) will be totalled afterwards for you.

Participation points

For each hole that you play, you get <par for that hole> points (no skipping holes, please; you can't play 1 and 2, skip 3-8, and play 9, for example).

Skill points

In addition to participation points, you get additional points as follows for each hole that you play:

Score on hole	Number of points
Quintuple bogey and worse	0
Quadruple bogey	1
Triple bogey	2
Double bogey	3
Bogey and worse	4
Par	5
Birdie	6
Eagle	7
Double eagle	8
Triple eagle	9
Quadruple eagle	10

If you score better than a quadruple eagle on any hole, your team wins the CSAIL Olympics.

Scoring algorithm

(defun compute-my-score (my-scores-on-each-hole)
  (loop for hole-par from 1   ;; hole numbers are the same as the pars for each hole
        for score in my-scores-on-each-hole 
        summing (+ hole-par                              ;; participation points
                   (max 0 (- (+ 5 hole-par) score)))))   ;; skill points

;; Example: Skipped the last two holes because I just can't face the Great American Scream Machine (hole #8)
;; and whatever mayhem lies beyond it
(compute-my-score '(2 2 4 5 5 14 8))

We will supply scorecards at the event, but here's one anyway.
