This article details the "General Settings" tab (shown below) found in the Default Settings, Event/League Profile, and Round Profile.
​

In summary, your Default Settings propagate to the Event/League Profile of all your events and leagues which also propagate further to all of the rounds within that league or event.
​

This abbreviation should be an abbreviation of your club (e.g., HGC, WHGC, etc). It will be included in the URL for all of your portals.

The name of your event, league, and round can be changed here.

Round dates are created when the round is added under the Calendar Menu. The date can later be changed here. When changing the date of a round all round information is moved with it (e.g., confirmed players, tournaments, pairings, etc).

If using Round Signups, you can set the open and close times for the round here.

Every event or league portal has a URL (website address) where players can access information like results and pairings. Enter the prefix for the portal here. For instance, if you enter the prefix "hgcmemberguest", then the URL to access that portal will be hgcmemberguest.golfgenius.com. If that prefix has already been taken, a warning message will be displayed.

Different GGIDs are offered depending on where you access the settings:

​

If using Round Signups, you can convert a round to a social event. There are no tournaments or pairings in a social event. Players can signup and be placed on the confirmed round roster. This can be used for functions like dinner events, meetings, etc.

If you'd like to allow players to sign up for a round and select their tee time, you can use our Open Tee Times feature. It can be enabled here. For more information on Open Tee Times, Click Here.

There are many statistic portal pages available to be added to your portals. These statistics are computed from the scores from all of the rounds. You can exclude the scores from the statistics from a round by selecting unselecting this option.

For various reasons, it is important to select the time zone you are located in.

If you are listing events in directories or Golf Hubs, you can enter the event locations. In directories, players can filter the directories by location (finding events in their area). In Golf Hubs, players can view locations on maps or location names in tile view.

By default these options are enabled, allowing you to create divisions, flights, and teams within your event/league. Click Here for details.

How would you like the player names to be formatted on the leaderboard and printed material? As players are entered into the event/league, their handle will be generated in the selected format. You will have several handle format options, including the option to keep the master roster handle for imported golfers, and the ability to override the first name with custom fields. For more details on handles, Click Here.

You can select a gender for your players in the player roster. This is helpful for setting default tees by gender, reporting, creating divisions, and much more. If no gender has been selected for a player, what would you like the default to be? If most of the players on the player roster are male, then we suggest selecting "M".

If you have the Golfer Profile Portal Page available on the portal, would you like to allow players to edit their Handle and Handicap Index for that event/league?

In your Course Details, you can enter an abbreviation for all of your course and tees. These abbreviations can show near the player's names on many reports. If you would like these abbreviations displayed on the reports, select these options.

Set up team drafts, where team captains pick players one at a time to fill their rosters. Players will be ranked, and the draft can be done live. For complete details, Click Here.

If you have league managers, as a Customer Manager you may want to provide them additional permissions or restrict permission such as editing course details, importing golfers from the master roster and other. Here you will be able to toggle features to allow league manager more or less permissions.

If you are using Tour Management as a Customer Manager, you may want to provide your tour managers additional permissions. Here you will be able to toggle features to allow tour managers more or less permission.

Parimutuel betting can be managed in our software for some versions of our software. You can collect bets and compute the results (payout) when the event is complete. For more information on parimutuel betting, Click Here.

When changes are made in the Master Roster (e.g, names, default tees, emails), you can have those changes propagate to the event/league. If left unchecked, changes in the Master Roster will not go to the event/league. For more details about master roster coupling, Click Here.

If your event has a combination of Pros and Amateurs then you may want your players identified as one or the other on the leaderboard, printed material, and other areas. Click Here for instructions on doing this.
