In this format a net Double Eagle is worth 8 points, a net Eagle 5 points, a net Birdie 3 points, a net Par 1 point, a net Bogey 0 points, and a net Double Bogey or worse is minus 2 points.
The winning team was Jim Reynolds and John Grasso with 48 par-points. Second place was the team of Dave Godwin and Tom Fregulia with 47 par-points. Third place was a tie between the teams of Dan Anderson and Jack Gilbert, and Mike Gibson and Bert Bellows, both with scores of 46 par-points.
