Live Scoring

How scores get from the course to the leaderboard on a trip.

How it works

One phone per group scores every player hole by hole in the trip portal
Each saved hole goes to the server (queued on the phone if there is no signal)
Leaderboards in the portal and dashboard refresh over a live channel, with a 30-second refresh as fallback

Setting up

There is nothing to switch on. Once a round has groups (and a tournament, if you want a leaderboard), any player in a group can open the round in the portal and score.

Per-round options:

Tees — players pick their tee when they open the round if more than one is set
Cross-group scoring — off by default; set the round setting allow_cross_group_scoring (API) to let anyone score any card. Trip admins can always score any card.

Score entry

Digit entry auto-advances to the next player; − / + nudge a score
X records a pickup as net double bogey (0 Stableford points)
Save & Next Hole saves the group’s scores and moves on
At the last hole, Sign cards locks the group’s cards; only an organizer can unlock a signed card

Verification and corrections

Signed cards are locked. To correct one, an organizer unlocks it (through the API for now), the group fixes the score and signs again.
If two phones score the same hole, the newest entry wins; an older entry replayed from an offline queue is discarded with a notice on that phone.

Leaderboards

Championship (all rounds), each round, Ryder Cup, skins, Nassau and Point Game boards
Ties share positions unless the tournament uses a countback tie-break
A player who missed a whole round ranks below those who played every round
Show standings on a TV with the dashboard’s TV Display page
