Multi-round events require at least one flight for each overall leaderboard.Tip: You can simply auto-assign all teams to a single flight. - Create team matches
From the overall event homepage, open the Match Play page and run the Round Robin Auto-Assignment to generate the weekly team matches.Individual matches will be created within each round after weekly substitutes are finalized.

Overall Event Leaderboard Configuration
To display standings that include both Team Match Points and Individual Match Points each week, you must create three leaderboards:
- Match Play (Create Matches) — configured by Individual
- Match Play (Create Matches) — configured by Team
- Combination — configured by Team
- Add the leaderboards created in steps 1 and 2
- Since standings are based on points, under Results set Order by Score to Descending (Higher Scores Win)
Round Leaderboard Configuration
To calculate match points each week, you must create a Match Play (Create Matches) leaderboard configured by Team. This is required even if no points are awarded for team matches, as the team matches must exist so the individual match auto-assignment can determine which players compete against each other.
After the Team Match Play leaderboard is created, you can add as many Individual Match Play leaderboards as needed to calculate points by hole, total score, or both.
