The net score for each person for a hole is determined by subtracting any strokes that the player receives (based on handicap) from the players actual score. Teams are assigned by the league chairman by a modified draw so that they are similar in makeup.  Each team will have a similar number of high, middle and low handicap players.

Strokes received on each hole is determined as follows: If the players handicap is 18 or less, the player receives one stroke on every hole for which the hole's handicap value (see scorecard) is less than or equal to the players course handicap.  If the players handicap is more than 18, the player receives at least one stroke on every hole.  Then subtract 18 from the players course handicap and the player receives a second stroke (total of 2) on every hole for which the hole's handicap value (see scorecard) is less than or equal to the resulting number.

Each player should record all of their actual scores on every hole to be used for recording in the computer to calculate future handicaps.  If one player reaches a point where he cannot possibly get a net score that would help his team, he should pick up his ball and record a reasonable estimate of what his actual score would have been.
