In the Bucket

In the Bucket

A team game, with four players on a team, in which one player is eliminated on each hole (Kelley, About.com). The lowest scorer of the players is the one eliminated on the following hole, through the four-hole set. The team’s score over the course of the set is the sum of four players’ scores, then three, then two, then one, and then it starts over again. The final player, on the fourth hole, is left “in the bucket,” wholly responsible for the team’s score.

Eliminated players still play, but their scores don’t count toward the team total until a new four-hole set starts again. This game is also known as Eliminator.
