Cermit said:What is a normal format/rules for playing mixed doubles? What rules/format did they for example use in the mixed doubles at the worlds 2011?
my interpretaion is that one player tees off all odd holes and the other all even holes, and subsequent shots are alternated until the team holes out. for example player a tees holes 1, 3, 5, etc. and player b tees off holes 2, 4, 6, etc. second shots alternat so player a shoots second on holes 2, 4, 6 and player b 1, 3, 5 blah blah blah on down the line.Cermit said:Thanks for the great answer, Jhern!
Just to make it clear, does Alternate tee shot mean that you choose who starts on each hole and alternate the hole out and start over the process on each hole? Or is it like ordinary alternate when you alternate all round through?
This seem like a very fun way to play together when you are at different levels and have different skills.

Chuck Kennedy said:Mixed doubles uses "Structured Alternate Shot" not regular Alternate Shot per the PDGA rules where, as has been stated by chunk and others above, one player always tees off on odd holes and the other on even holes regardless who putts out on the previous hole.
