Rabbit
The game in 20 seconds
Win a hole outright — the low score, nobody tied — and you catch the rabbit. The next time somebody else wins a hole outright, it's set loose again, and the next outright winner catches it.
Whoever has it when the nine ends wins that rabbit: a point from every other player. There's a front rabbit and a back rabbit.
Who plays
- 2 to 4 players, everyone for themselves.
- Play it as your main game, or add it to another one. Added mid-round, it scores the whole round from the scores already on the card.
- No teams or order to settle — the rabbit starts loose.
Scoring a hole
- Rabbit loose and you win the hole outright → you catch it.
- You have it and someone else wins outright → it's loose again. They don't get it — the next outright winner does, and that can be anyone, you included.
- You have it and win again → nothing changes.
- Tie for low → nothing happens.
Hole 2 · par 4: Nate and Greg tie with 4s → nothing. Nate still has it.
Hole 3 · par 3: Mike 2, the rest 3s → Mike sets it loose. Nobody has it.
Hole 4 · par 4: Greg 4, the rest 5s → Greg catches it.
Loose at the turn
A rabbit still loose after the 9th rides to the back: the back-nine rabbit is then worth 2.
Hole 12 · par 3: Mike makes a 2 and catches it. No more outright wins.
Mike wins the back rabbit, worth 2.
Loose when the round ends, it pays nobody: had Nate won the 18th outright, Mike's rabbit would have gone loose and nobody would collect.
Standings read as if the round ended now: whoever holds a rabbit is booked for it.
Steal (option)
With Next outright win steals it on, it never goes loose: the next outright winner takes it straight from the holder.
Tyler wins the front rabbit — and with nothing loose at the turn, the back rabbit is worth 1.
Handicaps
Play it net and every player gets their full course handicap — one stroke a hole on the hardest holes first, by the card's stroke index. The best player gets his strokes too. Outright wins are decided on net scores.
Hole 2: Tyler 4 for a net 3, the rest 5s → Tyler catches it.
Battle Tees works out each player's course handicap from their index and tees, at the group's handicap allowance (100% unless you change it in setup). Gross and net are kept side by side all round.
💰The money
Each rabbit is worth its points from every other player. Two players who each won one cancel out between themselves.
Mike collects $2 each from Nate, Greg and Tyler: Mike +$6, the rest −$2.
Steal on: Tyler has the front, Mike the back, 1 each.
Tyler and Mike are +$2 each, Nate and Greg −$2 each.
Battle Tees shows who owes whom under Settle up on the Standings screen; it never touches the money.
Options in Battle Tees
- Players in the game — 2, 3 or 4, on its card when it's your main game; as a side game it follows the group.
- Rabbits — Front & back (two rabbits), or One for 18: one rabbit, held at the 18th. A nine-hole round has one rabbit either way.
- Next outright win steals it — Off.
Set them before the first hole; they stay for the round. Every phone in the group plays with the same settings.
⚡How to win it
- Holding it, a tie is a win. Only an outright win moves it — play for the middle of the green and make them beat you alone.
- Not holding it, set it loose. Knocking it off the holder is worth a risk; the catch can come later.
- Watch the 9th. A rabbit loose at the turn doubles the back nine's.
- Steal on? The last outright win takes it. Save something for the closing holes of each nine.
