Scotch Doubles or Regular Doubles

Answer 1

Slal Tim makes some very valid points that I have to agree with

For fun scotish

But if the money is down I dont like having to think for 2 people just trust my partner dont think for them.

Answer 2

It depends on the skill level of those involved.  I think scotch doubles evens things out and lets all the players shoot the same amount.  It's definitely more fun, especially in social situations.  Also, it can be a great learning experience since the partners have to talk strategy.

In regular doubles, if one player is really good, he/she would end up shooting a majority of the time, which may make it less fun for the partner.  Of course, if you're just in it to win it, I wouldn't want a poor playing partner anyway.
