Scores need to be entered to generate a leaderboard. This can be done in two places:
The Manager Site
The Mobile App
For details on entering scores in the mobile app, Click Here.
In this article, we will discuss how to enter scores in the Manager Site. To watch a short instructional video, Click Here.
Hole-by-hole or 9/18-hole totals:
Scores can be entered using:
Hole-by-hole
9-hole totals
18-hole totals
Hole-by-hole scores are typically entered, however, you can also enter 9 or 18 hole totals instead. While this may be quicker, it comes with disadvantages. To learn more about 9 or 18-hole score entry (and the disadvantages), Click Here.
To select the entry method, go to Event/League > Event/League Profile > Tournaments & Scoring. Select the entry method (as shown below). Save the changes
Entering Scores:
To enter scores, follow these instructions:
Go to Rounds > Enter Scores.
Select the tournament (on the top left). By doing this, the scorecards on this page will be stroked (dotted) using the selected tournament and a preview of the scores for the selected tournament will also be visible.
When entering scores for Match Play or Bracket Tournaments, you can select the Score Entry Mode.
One Player at a time: Enter all hole scores for one player in the pairing group, before entering scores for another player.
One Hole at a time: Enter all player(s) in the pairing group score on one hole, before entering scores for a second hole.
Click on a pairing group.
Enter the gross scores. If a player does not finish a hole, you can enter "X" or "X" + the most likely score (e.g., X7, X8, etc). For more details handling this scenario, Click Here.
Mark the scorecard as checked (if necessary) for auditing purposes and to restrict any score entry changes through the mobile app. See the section later in this article for more details.
Save the scores by taking one of the following actions.
Click "Done" on the bottom right of the scorecard.
Click on the pairing group again (the scorecard will minimize).
Click on another pairing group.
Click "Done Entering Scores" on the bottom.
See the sequence below as scores are entered for a pairing group "one player at a time."
There are also some display options to help expedite score entry (as shown below).
You can:
Display by: Organize the page by pairing group or by individual.
Sort by: Sort the pairing groups/individuals by either 1) pairing group number 2) course, hole, then tee time or 3) course, tee time, then hole.
Filter: If there are multiple divisions or multiple courses being used, you can filter the page by division or course.
Search: Search for specific players
Entering Random Scores:
Entering random scores and testing the leaderboard is a great way to double check your work before a round. You can do this by clicking "Random Scores" on the bottom left. For detailed instructions on this, Click Here.
Marking Scorecards as Checked:
When entering scores for a pairing group, there is an option to mark the scorecard as checked when using mobile scoring or digital scorecards (as shown below).
When selected, the scorecard will be considered verified and score entry will then be disabled for that pairing group through the mobile and iPad apps. Furthermore, this option can be used to for auditing purposes so that managers can see what scorecards have been verified and checked (as shown below).
Additionally, when marking scorecards as complete, the score entry page for the pairing group will be timestamped when the scorecard is marked as checked (as shown below).
Match Penalties:
When running a bracket tournament and a match adjustment penalty needs to be applied to a player, this can also be done from the "Enter Hole-by-Hole Scores" page (as shown below). For complete details, Click Here.
Entering Team Hole-by-Hole Scores:
If playing a team-based tournament where every player plays their own ball, you can optionally enter one team score rather than entering hole-by-hole scores for every player. For instructions on this, Click Here.
Entering Scores for Playoff Holes:
Sometimes playoff holes are necessary for match play tournaments. For instructions on selecting the playoff holes and entering the score, Click Here.
Changing Player Status (e.g., DQ, DNF, etc):
You can change the tournament status of a player (e.g. DQ, DNF, etc) by:
Clicking on the pairing group
Clicking on the player
Selecting the new status.
Click Here for more information.
Entering Scores for a Multi-Round Tournament:
If entering scores for a round that is playing an individual Stroke Play or Stableford multi-round tournament, we will display the cumulative score next to each player's name as you are entering scores (as shown below).
Managing Division Membership:
If you have created division, but need to adjustment division membership, you can click the "Manage Division Membership" button (as shown below), and it will open a new tab where you can edit players divisions.
