After selecting the Automatic Scheduling parameters and clicking "Next", you will be directed to the summary screen for the pairings. You can select "More scheduling options" (as shown below).
The options include:
Pairing Order: When choosing a pairing order you can:
Schedule player tee times over all rounds to maximize fairness with respect to early and late starts: When using this option, the scheduler looks back at previous round pairings in the event/league (if any), and players will be treated equally with respect to early, middle and late tee times. By doing this, players will sometimes get early times and sometimes get late times.
Order pairings by division and flight with smaller groups first: Pairings will be organized by divisions and flights. Players in different divisions/flights will never be paired together. Furthermore, if there are smaller pairing groups in the pairings, place them first on the tee sheet. For instance, place the twosome ahead of the threesomes.
Order pairings by division and flight with smaller groups last: Pairings will be organized by divisions and flights. Players in different divisions/flights will never be paired together. Furthermore, if there are smaller pairing groups in the pairings, place them last on the tee sheet. For instance, place the twosome behind the threesomes.
If the field cannot be split evenly in threesomes, the remainders should be grouped in: When creating pairings using threesomes, sometimes the pairings do not produce all threesomes. In this case, you can select the "odd groups" to be foursomes or twosomes.
Use pairings from prior rounds to create the best pairings for this round: When selected, repeats will be minimized as much as possible. More diversity will be created in the pairings and players will not always be playing the same players. This is typically used for league-play.
Keep players on the same course and tee as in prior round: Only available if there is a least one past round when new pairings are created. When selected, the players will be kept on the same course and tee as designated in the selected prior round. This is typically used in multi-round tournaments and leagues where the players play the same course and tee each round.
