Teams & Competitions

Flexible team management and competition structures for any trip format.

Team Creation

Manual Teams

Create teams by:

1. Navigate to Teams in your trip
2. Click Add Team
3. Name your team
4. Add players to the team

Automatic Team Assignment

Let the system create balanced teams:

• Random assignment
• Handicap-balanced teams
• Snake draft based on skill level

Captains

Designate team captains who can:

• Manage team roster
• Set player order for matches
• Communicate with team members

Competition Types

Points-Based

Teams earn points through individual or team performance:

• Configurable point values
• Running team standings
• Multiple ways to earn points

Match Play

Head-to-head team competitions:

• Fourball (better ball) matches
• Foursomes (alternate shot)
• Singles matches
• Combined formats (Ryder Cup style)

Combined Events

Run multiple competition types simultaneously:

• Individual stroke play plus team points
• Multiple team competitions in one trip

Series Teams

For annual trips tracked as a tournament series (like a yearly Ryder Cup trip), define each team’s identity once and reuse it every year.

What’s Stored

Each series team has a persistent:

• Name — your own team names (e.g., “Sharks” vs “Jets”)
• Color — used on leaderboards, banners, and records
• Emoji — optional badge shown next to the team
• Order — controls display order across the app

Managing Series Teams

1. Open your trip’s Tournament Series section and expand the Ryder Cup series
2. Click the settings (gear) icon on the series record banner
3. Add, rename, recolor, reorder, or remove teams (a series always needs at least two)
4. Click Save Teams

If you previously customized colors/emoji with the older Customize Team Appearance dialog, use Convert to Series Teams inside that dialog. It creates series teams from your current names and styling, and the series uses them from then on.

Applying to a Tournament

Each linked tournament shows an Apply Teams action. It syncs the series’ team names, colors, and emoji onto that year’s tournament teams — overwriting whatever was set on the tournament. Use it after creating a new year’s tournament or to fix drift between years.
