Should I use divisions or flights?

Updated over 4 months ago

This feature is available for the following products:

Both divisions and flights allow you to place golfers into "buckets". Divisions and flights both have a role in scheduling and in tournaments. There is always an "All Golfers" division, and all golfers are in this division. A league or event could have:

  1. Only the All Golfers division, with no flights.

  2. Only the All Golfers divisions, with flights

  3. Multiple divisions, with no flights

  4. Multiple divisions, with flights.

The image below summarizes the difference and relationship between divisions and flights.

So should you use divisions or flights for your event/league?

  • Use Divisions: If players can compete in multiple groups. (Example: Anyone over the age of 80 can play in the Senior Division and the Super Senior Division.)

  • Use Both: If you need the playing field separated in two levels (sub-divisions). (Example: You have a men's and ladies' division. Within each division, there are flights.)

If you do not have any of the scenarios above, use multiple flights in the "All Golfers" division.
