Quota

A point-based scoring system where each player attempts to achieve a predetermined point total based on their handicap and the difficulty of each hole. Quota tournaments award points for performance relative to expected scores, with players trying to reach or exceed their quota. This format levels the playing field between golfers of different skill levels and creates competitive interest throughout the round. Quota systems often award 2 points for par, 3 for birdie, 4 for eagle, 1 for bogey, and 0 for double bogey or worse. The format encourages aggressive play while providing recovery opportunities.
