Syncing Divisions, Flights, Teams

Updated over 5 months ago

One of the common reasons why Divisions, Flights, or Teams are not correct or updating on your leaderboard/printed material is because they are not in sync.

As discussed in the Divisions Flights and Teams article, there are two different "levels" of DFTs:

  1. Event/League (Global) Divisions, Flights, and Teams: Found under Golfers Menu

  2. Round (Local) Divisions, Flights, Teams: Found under Rounds Menu

If you have future rounds in an event, and you make changes to your Event (Global) DFTs under the Golfers Menu, those changes will automatically be reflected in the future Round DFTs.

However, there are some cases where changes made in your Event/League DFTs will not automatically reflect in some of your Round DFTs. This is when you may have to manually sync your DFTs. There are two cases when we do not automatically sync a round:

  1. When the round is in the past.

  2. When a manager has already started planning a league round.


    If the above button is not visible under the Rounds Menu for a league, then the round is already being planned.

For Events that have divisions/flights/teams out of sync, under the Round menu, a notice will be display that the DFT's for the round will need to be synced (as shown below).

How to Manually Sync a Round:

So you've made some changes to your Event/League DFTs and you would like to manually sync those changes to a Round in one of the two situations above.
​

To do this, go to Rounds > Round Division/Flights/Teams > Sync All Divisions/Flights/Teams (as shown below).

The DFTs for that round will now be in sync with your Event/League DFTs.

Or, if there are multiple future rounds that need to be in sync, you can instead go to Golfers > Event/League Divisions/Flights/Teams > Sync All Future Rounds (as shown below).
​

A couple of notes:

  • Keep in mind that making changes in a Round DFT does not (and cannot) be reflected back to the Event/League DFT. Take the example of a 16-week round robin team league. When a sub is needed for a round, the team members change in that specific Round DFT. However, the team members do not change in the Event/League DFT and all future rounds.

  • If the round is in the past and scores have already been entered, you also need to re-score the leaderboard for the changes to go in effect. Go to Rounds > Display Leaderboard and the round will be re-scored.
