POOL SCORING OPTIONS
You have three options to select from for your pool scoring, and each can be customized to fit your pool needs. The To Par Scoring format is our system default and the most popular format with our users. Our Money Earnings format is a popular format using the money earned by the players in the event. Or switch things up and keep more poolies in the game by going with the Daily Bests format.
- To Par Scoring: Pool participants pick a team of golfers. The golfer's scores are added up relative to par for a tournament. The team with the lowest cumulative score at the end of regulation play wins.
- Money Earnings: Pool participants pick a team of golfers, and the team that earns the most money wins the pool.
- Daily Bests: Pool participants will pick a team of golfers. The best scores from each round for all event rounds are combined to produce a single team score.
CUSTOMIZE THE NUMBER OF SCORES USED FOR THE TEAM TOTAL
You can choose to go with our system, default counting the best 4 scores of 6 from each team, make every score count by having your total scores match the total number of players picked for the team, or use any other combination you can conjure up. This helps when some of your golfers miss the cut. By using only your best golfers, you minimize the cut golfers' impact on your overall score.
CUSTOMIZING CUT GOLFER OPTIONS
You'll have three options when deciding how to handle players that MC, WD, MDF, or DNF.
- Cut Golfers Get 80: Any player that misses the cut receives a score of 80 for rounds 3 & 4.
- Highest Carded Score: Any player who misses the cut receives the highest carded score from the field for rounds 3 & 4.
- Stroke Penalty: Any golfer that misses the cut receives a stroke penalty of (Even, +1, +2, etc...) for each unfinished round. *Note: The pool admin can adjust this setting under the Scoring>Cut Golfers section.
HOW TO HIDE AND SHOW TEAMS ON THE LEADERBOARD
Pool admins have two options to choose from with deciding when to make the teams visible to all poolies. The system default will hide all team details until the tournament begins.
- Hide teams until start: you'll be able to see who has entered and the team names but will not see the players picked until the event begins.
- Show teams before start: take the mystery out of it and allow all participants to see what the others have picked prior to the event start.
Your scoring settings can be adjusted and customized by logging into your pool admin page and scrolling down to the "Scoring Section" below.
CUSTOMIZE THE NUMBER OF GOLFERS PICKED
Your pool's scoring will default to have everyone pick six golfers, but you can fully customize your picksheet and have them pick from 2 golfers to 50 golfers or anything in between.
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR PICKSHEET
You've got choices for days when it comes to setting up your picksheets! This is where you'll decide:
- Setting how many tiers you want on your picksheet (if any).
- Determine how many players and which players you want to include in each tier.
- Customize your tier names.
PICKSHEET TIER SETUP OPTIONS
You have three preset tier options as a starting point, but your options are limitless and can be easily customized to any configuration you prefer.
- Tiers by Odds - The system will automatically set tiers sorted by Odds to Win. You choose how many golfers in each tier and the last tier contains the remainder of the tournament field.
- Tiers by World Rank - The system will automatically set tiers sorted by OWGR.You choose how many golfers in each tier and the last tier contains the remainder of the tournament field.
- No Tiers - Pick Anyone - Every player in the field is listed in one list. Pool participants select the total number of players required for pool entry.
- Build From Scratch - Set up any number of tiers and select any combination of players within each tier as desired.
