Notes: The scoring system used in the team knock-out competitions is based on competing players playing in teams of 6 against the opposing team. Players are paired off, and play 3 games. They score:
- 1 'goal' for a win, 2 'goals' for etimwe-ebiri (double-head win) and 6 'goals' for the very rare "Akawumbi" (Billion win: all 16 holes cleared and landing on one of the heads)
- The player in each pair with most 'goals' wins the "set", and scores 2 points. A draw is 1 point each.
The team with the most points wins the "match". A draw is decided on 'goals'
