Quick Start

Welcome to RoundBoss, the easiest way to run a golf league. This guide will get you up and running in minutes.

What RoundBoss Does

RoundBoss handles everything your weekly golf league needs: player management, automatic matchup generation, handicap-based stroke allocation, score entry, and live leaderboards. Players access their stats through one personal link that RoundBoss emails them — it opens every league they play in, and no account or password is required.

Choose Your Path

Start with the card that matches what you are doing today.

Getting Started in 3 Steps

1
Create your league

Sign up as a manager, name your league, and configure your season length and scoring preferences.

2
Add your players

Enter players one by one or import a roster via CSV. An email address is required for each player — RoundBoss automatically emails them their personal link.

3
Generate matchups

Choose a matchup mode (random no-repeat, skill-based, social mixer, or manual) and RoundBoss pairs players each week automatically.

Key Concepts

Configurable Scoring

Players earn points per hole with a bonus for lowest total. All point values, caps, and bonuses are configurable. See Scoring Configuration.

Rolling Handicap

Averages are calculated over a configurable number of weeks. Stroke differences are applied to the hardest holes on the course.

Play the Card

When an opponent misses a week, the present player can still earn points by playing against their own average with the league's card table.

Frictionless Player Access

Players tap the link RoundBoss emailed them. No login required.
