OK, first off: How does Team Disc Golf equal playing doubles? TDG to me is my team playing your team, the format is irrelevant, and this isn't the Ryder Cup, nor is it trying to be.
As I see it, there were 2 problems with the Dubs in TDG last year.
1. The handicapping system was broken and a team could pair their highest rated player with their lowest rated player and GET strokes from an opponent that couldn't beat them straight up.
2. The non-current PDGA player could 'hide' all year long in dubs and never have their rating change due to TDG play. So a low rated player who plays above their rating exacerbates problem #1.
By playing the 4 matches/round as all singles every round gets rated and effects the player's rating for the next event.
And because we all love the dubs, I have a provision for a dubs match each round if enough players show up for it. Let me try to explain it better:
In the morning round the Visiting Team selects 4 players to play for 1 match point each in singles. The Home Team matches their players against the Visitors.
If either of the teams have 2 other players present then 1 dubs match can be played for another match point.
If both teams have 2 extra players then they play normal dubs for the match point with no handicap.
If only 1 team has the 2 extra players and the other team only has 1 extra player, that player will play Cali for that match point.
If only 1 team has the 2 extra players and the other team has no extra players they forfeit the match point.
If neither of the teams has 2 extra players the match point cannot be played for.
In the afternoon round the same rules apply only the Home team puts up the match ups first.
So a team that shows up with 6 players each round can win up to 5 match points each round.

Hath this whole world been mired in madness?
Remain ye men of faculty complete,
Of full arithmetic and prudence fair,
Attending to our noble bond and contract?
Or does here stand the last remaining man
To give a fig for rules and order yet,
No noble savage, but a stave unbroken
Who loves the law and bids it no misdeed.
I’ll not be bent to lawlessness. Mark it nought, if we be men of honour.
