Bestball Match Play Simulator

This application is based on the results of A Study of Fairness in Fourball Golf Competition, an academic paper by Patrick Siegbahn and Dr. Donald Hearn. The study concludes that in a typical bestball match play game where handicaps are used there are certain team pairings that gain an advantage.

The application can simulate the statistical outcome of any bestball match play game based on historical data of over 250000 rounds. The results are displayed as probability of Win, Draw and Loss. Due to limitations the application will only accept course handicaps between 0 and 36. If the teams have not yet been decided the application can also sort the teams and find the fairest pairing.

Application developed by Jesper Mårtensson and Viktor Westberg.
