Creating an Event

Tournament Expert's software is flexible, allowing users to perform tournament related tasks in any order they desire. It is not necessary to define the tournament before beginning to enter player names. All tournament decisions can be made "on the fly."  In our system, player rows can be added or deleted as necessary. Groups can be created and re-created at any time. Hole assignments and tee times can be created and adjusted easily. Even the scoring format can be changed in the midst of scoring.

Say you forgot that there was going to be an individual gross tournament within the best ball tournament in progress. No problem, our system can take raw scores and calculate both the best ball and the individual tournament. If the teams need to be readjusted after score entry, the software can do that as well.

The Tournament Creation 100-Yard Dash

Although tasks can be performed in any order, this is a common procedure:

Populate the Player List (from your handicap system, a spreadsheet submitted by an outside source, our history file or type directly into the Player List)

Use our Handicap Calculator to determine handicaps and apply any caps or adjustments

Create teams and pairings using our sorting tools and/or the Pairings Board

Create cart signs, scorecards, pairings sheets, hole location sheets, proximity markers - making font and color choices as you go

Make last minute adjustments and quickly create new cart signs and scorecards for the new pairings

Once they are on the course, create scoreboards and calculate the payouts

When play is finished, enter the scores into the Scoring Module

Display results electronically, print a results sheet and create gift certificates

Post scores on the scoreboards so they can be referenced later
