Flighting

Flighting groups players into divisions based on handicap range, so players compete against others of similar skill level.

How It Works

Flights are handicap-based divisions within your league. Each flight has a name and a handicap range (minimum and maximum). Players are automatically assigned to the appropriate flight based on their handicap.

Setting Up Flights

1
Open Settings

Open your league and go to Settings.

2
Find the Flighting section

Scroll to the Flighting section in settings.

3
Add a flight

Click Add Flight to create a new division. Enter a name (e.g., "A Flight", "Championship") and set the handicap range.

4
Add more flights

Repeat for additional flights. Make sure ranges do not overlap.

Auto-Assignment

When you create or update flights, RoundBoss automatically assigns each player to the correct flight based on their current handicap. For flight assignment, the handicap source priority is:

  1. GHIN Index (if connected)
  2. WHS Handicap (calculated from scores)
  3. Established handicap (manually entered)
info
This GHIN-first ordering applies only to flight assignment. It does not govern match stroke allocation — strokes given and received in a match always follow the league's configured handicap method (handicap_method). See Handicap and Strokes.

Leaderboard Filtering

The leaderboard supports filtering by flight. Players and managers can view overall standings or drill into a specific flight to see divisional rankings.

Flight Badges

Players see their flight assignment as a badge on the roster, making it easy to identify which division everyone belongs to.
