The few scrambles I have played in they just choose a random hole out of a hat and whoever has lowest score will win. I have heard of that but I hate playing in scrambles so not much experience with me.

Recently played in a low key "friendly" tournament in which the winner of the Senior flight was determined by a card off based on a single hole (the #1 handicap) which I felt was a bit unfair instead of using USGA card off procedures matching back 9, last 6 holes, 3 holes, etc or even better a playoff.

There is no Rule of Golf that dictates how to settle a tie, just guidance from the R&A/USGA. In the first place a full round play off is recommended, then sudden death, and then a "count back" as you describe.
