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.
Define handicap ranges for each flight. Players are assigned automatically based on their current handicap.
When flights are created or updated, players are re-sorted into the correct division automatically.
View overall standings or drill into a specific flight to see divisional rankings.
Managers see each player's flight assignment as a badge on Roster → Players for easy identification.
Setting Up Flights
Open your league and go to Settings.
Scroll to the Flighting section in settings.
Click Add Flight to create a new division. Enter a name (e.g., "A Flight", "Championship") and set the handicap range.
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:
- GHIN Index (if connected)
- WHS Handicap (calculated from scores)
- Established handicap (manually entered)
handicap_method). See Handicap and Strokes.Leaderboard Filtering
The flight filter is a player-only feature: on the player portal's leaderboard, players can view overall standings or drill into a specific flight to see divisional rankings. The manager dashboard's Standings view does not have a flight filter today — managers configure flight ranges in Settings and see each player's flight badge on the roster, but see the same unfiltered standings everyone else does when flight filtering isn't available to them.
Flight Badges
Managers see each player's flight assignment as a badge on Roster → Players, making it easy to identify which division everyone belongs to. Players don't have a roster view with flight badges — they see their flight through the leaderboard's flight filter instead.
