Create an Event

It is important to note that when creating an Event for your League, you will want to following the steps below and ensure you are Creating the Event in your League and NOT in your Player Portal. Events Created in your Player Portal have limited functionality and are designed for 5 or Less players (Single Tee Group).

There are two types of Events that you can create:

1. Single Round Event - Consisting of only 9 or 18 Holes played on 1 or more Golf Courses. Reference Article Create Single Round Event (Guide)
2. Multiple Round Event - Unlimited number of 9 or 18 Hole Rounds where the format and payouts can be the same or different for each Round, plus the Format and Payouts can be set to include the scores from ALL or SELECT Rounds for an Overall Results / Payout.

Live Scoring

Your players can keep Live Score for an Event through their Smart Phones. Reference Article How to Enter Live Score.

On the morning of the Event, your players will receive an Automated Email with a direct link to Keep Live Score, no need for them to Log in, just click the "Enter Live Score" button in the email.

You can also print a Live Score Flyer that contains a QR Code, where all your players need to do is Scan the QR Code with their Phone to starting keeping Live Score. Reference Article Print Live Score Flyer & Instructions

Player Official Scores (Add / Edit)

Scores kept by the Players through Live Scoring will show up on the Live Leaderboards, but will not show in the Official Results until their Live Scorecard is Signed at the end of their Round (Auto Signed if not signed within 15 Minutes of the Round Completed).

As a League Director, you can Add a Score to the Official Results for a Player / Team or edit a Score that has been entered through Live Scoring. Reference Article League Event Scores (Add / Edit)
