Criss Cross is an 18-hole tournament format in to compare corresponding scores on their scorecard and choose the lower of two scores, resulting in a 9-hole total score. 

Front 9 holes are paired up with the corresponding Back 9 hole. For example, No. 1 and No. 10 as a pair, No. 2 and No. 11, No. 3 and No. 12, and so on up to No. 9 and No. 18.

Yes. When setting up the tournament you are asked to select how to pair the tee times for your event. You have the option to setup tee times by teams or individuals and how many of those teams/individuals on each tee. 

For example, if you wanted 4 players per tee time for an individual tournament you would select Pair by Individuals and select 4 for the number per tee. 

If you wanted 4 players per tee time for a two-person team event, you would select Pair by Team and select 2 for the number per tee (2 per team * 2 teams = 4 players). 

If you are creating a shotgun tournament and expect to have more than one foursome per tee box (i.e. Hole 1A, Hole 1B, etc.) you would still selected 4 total players per tee time. The system would randomly assign the players to the holes including any holes that might have more than one set of tee times per hole.
