In this article, we will discuss adding the Tournament ID to your event, importing the roster from the NCAA/Clippd, and exporting results. For a detailed setup guide, check out the College Scoring Guide.
NCAA Tournament ID:
Create a new event from the customer center as you normally would. Once you have created the event, you will need to link Clippd by entering the Tournament ID. To obtain your Tournament ID follow these directions:
Navigate to your Scoreboard Coaches Portal and sign in.
Click on the event to access the tournament setup.
Navigate to Live Scoring and scroll to the bottom (below Clippd advertising and cost for Live Scoring in Clippd)
Copy the " Tournament ID (as shown below).
To enter the Tournament ID in Golf Genius Tournament Management, follow these directions:
Go to Event > Event Profile > General Settings.
Scroll down to the section NCAA Golf and check the box to "Enable Integration with Clippd Scoreboard?" (As shown below).
Enter the following provided by the NCAA/Clippd:
Tournament ID
Click "Save" to apply the changes.
Importing Tournament Roster from NCAA/Clippd:
Once you have added your Tournament ID, you can import the Tournament Roster. To import the roster, follow these directions:
Go to Golfers > Import Roster from NCAA (as shown below).
Click "Import Roster."
The imported roster will then be added to your event roster, and the displayed fields are those imported from Clippd (as shown below). Note: Not all fields may be populated. The imported field depends on the available data from Clippd.
If there is an error with the import, it will be displayed below the "Import Roster from NCAA" option in the Golfers Tab (as shown below). To see the error, click the red text, and you will be taken to the NCAA Log, which will display the issue to assist with troubleshooting the error.
There are three potential error messages that will be provided by Clippd:
401 - authentication error
404 - tournament not found
500 - internal error
The error messages are displayed in the roster log and will help you correct the issue. If you receive the 401 or 404 message, you can go to Events > Event Profile > General Setting > NCAA Golf to update the Tournament ID as needed. If you receive the 500 message, please attempt to try the import again after a few minutes.
Exporting Results:
After the event has been scored and the results finalized, you can export the results to be uploaded to Clippd. To export results, follow these directions:
Go to Round > Report Center.
Search "NCAA" and you will find the "NCAA Scoring Export" report in the Basic Spreadsheets section (as shown below).
Hover your mouse over the report and click "Download."
After the report has been generated, click "Download XLS" and the report will be save to your computer.
