This feature is available for the following products:
In the club environment, players will almost always have a tee they play most often, the nine holers clubs might play a specific tee, leagues and events could use a particular tee, and tournaments might have defaults tees by division or flight. We call this the default tee. Assigning your players to their default tee will save time throughout the season as you create pairings and set the course/tee.
In this article, we will discuss the default tee option and provide links to more details.
(Note: If all the players in your event/league are not on your master roster, Click Here to see about setting your tees by custom field.)
Types of Default Tees:
Several different types of default tees can be set:
Gender Default Tees for the Course: Assigned at the course level (Customer Center > Customer Settings > Course Details), you can select the default tee for men and women. For this type of default tee to work, players in your master roster must have a gender assigned. Click Here for more details.
Player Default Tees (Master Roster Default Tees): Assigned at the player level in the Master Roster, default tees can be set individually for each player. Our default tee filtering tool allows you to filter and set these default tees in bulk quickly. Player Default Tees are simply an override to the Gender Default tees. For more details about assign player default tees individually or in bulk, Click Here.
Event and League Gender Default Tee: Assigned in the Event/League Profile (Event/League > Event/League Profile > Rounds & Scheduling), you can select the default tee for men and women. For this type of default tee to work, players in your roster must have a gender assigned. For more details, Click Here.
Division Default Tees: In cases where divisions are used for an event or league, specific tees may be used for each division. While setting the multiple tees manually in the "Edit Existing Pairings" page is possible, it is much easier to use default tees for your divisions. If you are looking to set default tees by division for a specific event or league, Click Here.
Flight Default Tees: In cases where flights are used for an event or league, different tees may be used for each flight. While setting the multiple tees manually in the "Edit Existing Pairings" page is possible, it is much easier to use default tees for your flights. If you are looking to set default tees by flight for a specific event or league, Click Here.
Using the Right Type of Default Tee:
Because there are two types of default tees, you may be wondering which default tee to use. If your club strictly has a tee for men and tee for women, using the Gender Default tee will work perfectly. However, in many cases, it is not that simple. Players may have the choice to pick their default tee. There may also be other considerations like age, tournament, Handicap Index, etc. If this is the case, using a combination of default tees options is always possible. The default tees will be applied to the pairings in the following priority:
Division/Flight
Event League Default Tee by Gender
Player Default Tee
Course Default Tee by Gender
