The Outing Organizer has four numbered setup tabs plus optional Registration and Upgrade tabs. Each tab has a distinct job in getting your outing ready.
Event tab — the rules
Purpose: Define how the outing is scored.
Configure here:
- Event name and date
- Game format (Individual, Scramble, Best Ball, etc.)
- Stroke vs. Match Play
- Strokes vs. Points (Stableford-style)
- Handicap settings
- Flights
- Shotgun start
- Full event team competition (Ryder-Cup style)
- Tiebreaker rules
- Premium scoring options (skins, multi-game scoring)
Think of it as: The rulebook for your tournament.
Course tab — the course data
Purpose: Define where golfers are playing and the hole-by-hole data the system needs to score.
Configure here:
- Tee box names
- Par for each hole
- Hole handicap indexes (stroke index 1–18 or 1–9)
- Slope and course rating
- Hole competitions / skillshots (premium)
- Hole sponsor logos (premium)
Think of it as: The scorecard's course layout and rating card.
Golfers tab — the roster
Purpose: Define who is playing and how they are grouped.
Configure here:
- Golfer names, email
- Handicap index
- Tee assignment
- Team name (for team-competition leaderboard)
- Flight assignment
- Match play opponent
- Starting hole (for shotgun starts) or tee time
- CSV import and export
Think of it as: Your pairing sheet and signup roster combined.
Scorecard tab — go live
Purpose: Validate your setup and share the live scorecard with golfers.
Despite the name, this tab is about sharing, not configuring scoring rules. It provides:
- Setup validation checklist (red items = blockers)
- Scorecard link and QR code
- Master Scorecard PIN
- Hide leaderboard option
- Leaderboard link and embed code
- Email golfers tool
Think of it as: Quality control and distribution.

Common confusion
- "Scorecard tab" vs. the live scorecard — The tab is for organizers to share links; golfers use the link on their phones to enter scores.
- Event tab "Individual" — This means Stroke Play format, not "individual vs. team" in general.
- Teams appear in two places — Combo team (who plays together) vs. team name (event-level team competition - think Ryder Cup) are different concepts.
