It plays just like a regular 3-some. So 1 vs 2. Using a 'double' for your side means you play every shot for your side. You see two players in the game for yourself but effectively its only you. 3-somes are effectively 2-ball matches. The other side plays in alternate form. This format allows for speedy play with three players (especially in matchplay). Playing with 3 friends you can switch the 'lone eagle' player after every match if you want. So one could play best of three matches for example, alternating the 'lone eagle' player. The player setting it up is the one who plays alone. Generally, the 'lone eagle' player should be the strongest player (hcp wise). There is a little caveat in this format in the sense (depending on the state of mind) that playing alone can be seen as a psychological advantage to the teamplayers, but that's just personal..
So choose 'alt shot stroke play' or 'alt shot team m.p.' depending on the format.

"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect.
It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented".
