Tournament Mode
Tournament mode lets you run multi-round events with cumulative scoring and optional cut lines, similar to a real PGA-style tournament. Tournaments are created through the League Setup Wizard by selecting the Tournament mode.
Run 2, 3, or 4 round tournaments with cumulative scoring across all rounds.
Eliminate players after a specified round, just like a professional tournament.
Real-time standings with per-round scores, to-par display, and cut line visualization.
How Tournament Mode Works
A tournament is a special league type with these key differences from regular season leagues:
- Fixed rounds instead of weeks. A tournament has 2, 3, or 4 rounds. Each round is automatically created as a "week" when the tournament is set up.
- Cumulative scoring. Player standings are ranked by their total score across all completed rounds rather than weekly points.
- Optional cut lines. You can eliminate players after a specified round, just like a professional tournament.
Setting Up a Tournament
Tournament Scoring Formats
| Format | How Standings Are Ranked |
|---|---|
| Stroke Play | Lowest cumulative net score across all rounds wins. |
| Stableford | Highest cumulative stableford points across all rounds wins. |
| Match Play | Highest cumulative match points across all rounds wins. |
Managing Rounds
Each tournament round functions like a league week. From the tournament overview screen you can see:
- The round number, date, and assigned course
- Whether matchups have been generated
- How many scorecards have been submitted
- Whether the round is locked (scores finalized)
Scores are entered the same way as regular league weeks — navigate to the round, click on a matchup, and enter hole-by-hole scores. See Entering Scores for details.
Cut Lines
Cut lines allow you to eliminate players who fall outside a threshold after a given round. This mirrors how professional tournaments work (for example, the top 65 and ties make the cut after round 2).
Cut Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| After Round | Which round the cut is applied after (must be before the final round). |
| Top N | How many players advance past the cut. |
| Plus Ties | When enabled, all players tied at the cut line score also advance. |
Applying a Cut
Cut Rules
- If Plus Ties is enabled and multiple players are tied at the cut line score, all of them advance. For example, if the cut is Top 16 but 3 players are tied for 16th, 18 players advance.
- For Stroke Play, the cut keeps the players with the lowest cumulative scores. For Stableford and Match Play, the cut keeps the highest cumulative scores.
- You can undo a cut after applying it. This restores all eliminated players so they can play in subsequent rounds.
Tournament Leaderboard
The tournament leaderboard shows all players ranked by their cumulative score across completed rounds. Players who have been cut are displayed below the cut line with their final standing.
The overview screen also shows a top-5 standings preview so you can see the leaders at a glance.
