In the sequence below, all players are removed from the pairings.

Add Blinds:

You can add a blind to a pairing group missing a player. The blind's scores will be used for the pairing group in the tournament. To do this:

  1. Click "Add Blinds"

  2. Select the player (currently in the pairings) to act as the blind.

  3. Select the empty slot to insert the blind.

For information on using blinds, Click Here. A blind is being added to a pairing group in the sequence below.

Swap Holes:

You can swap holes if two pairing groups need to swap starting hole assignments. To do this:

  1. Click "Swap Holes."

  2. Select the two hole assignments on the right (they will highlight).

  3. Click "Sort Pairings by" and select the sort option.

  4. Click "Save Pairings"

Keep in mind that this action will also swap the course/tees between pairing groups. If you want the player course/tees to be retained, we suggest using the "Swap Pairings" action instead.
​

See the sequence below as hole assignments are swapped between two pairing groups. The pairing groups are then re-sorted after the swapping.
​

Move Holes:

You can move one or more starting hole assignments to anywhere in the pairings. To do this:

  1. Click "Move Holes"

  2. Select the range of hole assignments to be moved and the location where the hole assignments should be moved (as shown below).

  3. Click "Apply"

  4. Click "Sort Pairings by" and select the sort option.

  5. Click "Save Pairings"

Keep in mind that this action will also move the course/tees between pairing groups. If you want the player course/tees to be retained, we suggest using the "Move Pairings" action instead.
​

In the sequence below, we move the starting hole assignments from the first two pairing groups (starting holes #1 and #2) to the last two pairing groups on the tee sheet.
​

Assign Waves:

You can edit the pairings and assign waves manually, regardless of the pairing creation method (i.e., Wave Pairings or New Pairings). Easily modify wave numbers inline, without recreating waves. To do this:

  1. Click "Assign Waves."

  2. Select the groups you wish to reassign wave pairing numbers.
    ​

  3. Set the Wave Group Number (as shown below).

  4. Click "Apply."

  5. Click "Save Pairings."

Other Options:

  • Display Additional Information: It is sometimes helpful to display additional information next to each player's name while editing pairings. Some of the other options include, but are not limited to:

    • Handicap Index

    • Team

    • Division

    • Tee

    • Team Id

    • Tournament Results

    • Custom Fields
      ​
      To do this, click "Additional Information," select the information to be displayed, and click "Save" (as shown below).

  • Show GGIDs or Total Index: You can display each pairing group's GGID or total Handicap Index while editing the pairings. Click "GGIDs" or "Total Index" (as shown below) to view the information.

  • Sort Pairings by: There may be cases where you are swapping hole assignments for pairing groups or manually entering starting holes and times. When doing this, the tee sheet will no longer be ordered properly. When the tee sheet is no longer ordered properly (by starting hole or starting time), click "Sort Pairings by" and select the sort method to re-sort the pairings on the tee sheet (as shown below).
    ​
    You will be provided with multiple sort options:

    • Course, tee time, hole

    • Course, hole, tee time

    • Course priority, AM/PM, hole (Note: To enable this option, contact support)

    • Move TBDs at the end (Note: Bracket tournaments only)

    • Move TBDs at the end and reverse (Note: Bracket tournaments only)
      ​

  • Show Pairings Tool: Available only for leagues, this pairings tool will show how many times players have played together so far in the league (as shown below).
    ​


    When moving players on the tee sheet while the pairing tool is open, you can also compare how many times a player has played with another player before and after the latest change. You can also compare the pairing group total Handicap Indexes before and after the change. This is a great tool to use when adjusting the tee sheet manually while also trying to keep the pairings optimized by previous round pairings.

  • Filter: If the pairings use multiple courses or divisions, you can filter the tee sheet by course or division. To do this, click "Filter" (as shown below), select the division(s) or course(s), and click "Filter" again.
