Q: I have a bracket tournament coming up and would like to use live scoring. I've used live scoring for other match play and stroke play events, but never a bracket tournament. Is this possible? Are there any special steps that need to be taken?
A: Live scoring can certainly be used for bracket tournaments. Whether it is a season-long bracket tournament or a weekend bracket tournament (e.g., Club Championship), once the players in a match enter a GGID into the mobile app, they can enter scores. As long as the leaderboard is "In Progress", and mobile score entry is enabled (Rounds Menu), the bracket will update LIVE as scores are being entered.
Above is an example of a live bracket leaderboard. Rosend is currently 1 up thru 7 holes. This can create an exciting environment for weekend bracket tournaments with the leaderboard updating live on the portal and TV. For season-long bracket tournaments, it takes the responsibility of entering scores/results off the hands of the Manager. Simply hand out the scorecard, with the GGID, to the players and the bracket will update automatically after the match is complete.
Sometimes there are matches being played in multiple rounds at the same time. It is ok to have multiple rounds in progress at once. However, after all matches are complete for a round, make sure to move the round status to "Completed" under the Rounds Menu.
