Multi-round tournaments take place over multiple rounds. There are essentially five types of multi-round tournaments:
β
Multi-Round Single Format: such aggregate net or stableford over some number of rounds - such as a 54 hole low net club championship. In this case, the same tournament is played in every round. The same format is used for all the rounds.
To set up this type of tournament go to League/Event > Multi-Round Tournaments > Add New Tournament Over Multiple Rounds.

Each tournament is defined within its round as a single round tournament, then a linked tournament defined to tie together the individual tournaments into a cumulative result.

Member-Guest Invitational. A very typical club tournament is a member/guest invitational where teams in a flight play all other teams in the flight over some number of rounds. The most common format is flights of 6 teams playing five 9-hole matches so that every team plays every other team and points are aggregated to create a team score, and the flight is ranked based on team score.

Bracket sizes can be 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. This is typically match play but does not need to be. Hole-by-hole results can be entered, but more typically just a match result is entered. Create the first round pairings based on seed, Handicap Index, or other criteria, and creates the follow-on round pairings as match results are determined. Bracket diagrams can then be generated.

Each team competes as a group of pairs - a team of 8 players might play in four matches, each match against a pair from a different team. Points are allocated to the team, and the team with the most points over a set of rounds wins the Ryder Cup tournament.
