Help & Guide

Getting Started

Welcome to TPS Golf League! There are two ways to log in, and both get you to the same place.

Your Dashboard ("My Card")

Your personal scorebook lives at My Card in the navigation. This page is private — only you can see it, and it only reflects games played within TPS.

You'll also see:

• Career sparkline — a mini chart of your recent scores (tall bars = tougher days, gold = your best)
• Recent results — your last 5 play dates with scores and payouts
• Playing partners — your top 10 most-paired-with players this season
• Milestones — achievements you've earned and progress toward the next ones
• Personal golf stats — birdie rate, GIR %, scrambling %, average putts, and par average broken down by par type, all pulled from your TPS scoring history
• Achievement badges — visual badges for milestones you've hit (first chip-in, streak records, season titles). Tap any badge to see the details
• Your Upcoming Play Dates — tournaments you're signed up for, with course name, date, and tee time at a glance

The Schedule

The schedule page shows every play date for the season. Each tournament card tells you the date, course, game of the day, signup deadline, and any course notes.

Signing Up

1. Find the upcoming tournament on the schedule
2. Tap "Count Me In"
3. Optionally add a note to the scheduler (e.g., "Need a cart" or "Pairing request")
4. Tap "Sign Me Up"

You can also sign up for multiple tournaments at once using "Plan Your Season" at the top of the page — check off the dates you want and hit "Save My Season."

Withdrawing

Changed your plans? Tap your "I'm Playing" badge on the tournament card and confirm your withdrawal. Please do this as early as possible so the scheduler can adjust pairings. The scheduler is automatically notified when you withdraw.

Waitlist

Some courses have limited tee times. When a play date fills up, you'll see "Course Full — Join Waitlist" instead of the signup button. Tap it to get in line — you'll see your position (e.g., "#2 on the waitlist"). When a registered player withdraws, the next person on the waitlist is automatically promoted to a confirmed spot. You can cancel your waitlist position anytime.

After Signups Close

Once the signup window closes, you'll see a lock icon and "Signups locked — contact the scheduler." Pairings are posted by Monday before Thursday play. Your group, tee time, and partners will appear right on the tournament card.

Prepayment

Some courses require prepayment (you'll see a badge on the card). Pay Ro via Zelle, cash, or check, then check the "Prepaid" checkbox. Honor system.

Scoring

One scorer per foursome enters scores on their phone during the round. If that's you, here's how it works:

What You Enter

• Strokes — required for every hole (use the +/- stepper)
• Putts — required when the Game of the Day involves putting; optional otherwise. A stepper appears when needed.
• Fairway hit — a toggle that appears on par 4s and par 5s (hidden on par 3s). Required for fairway games.
• Chip-in — check the box if anyone in the group chipped in from off the green

Helpful Features

• GIR glow — the hole card glows green when a player hits the green in regulation (putts ≤ 2 on an appropriate score)
• Wind badge — shows wind direction and speed at the top of the scorecard
• Course map — tap to expand a map of the hole (tee at the bottom, green at the top) with wind overlay
• Auto-save — scores save automatically as you enter them, so you won't lose anything
• Live leaderboard — a strip at the top shows current standings and how many shots back each player is in their flight

Picking Up (Mark an X)

Having a blowup hole? You can pick up and mark an X. When posting to GHIN, the hole will be recorded as a net double bogey — that's par + 2 (double bogey) plus any handicap strokes you receive on that hole based on the stroke index. For example, on a par 4 with no handicap strokes, your max is 6; with 1 stroke, your max is 7. GHIN applies the cap automatically when you post hole-by-hole.

Scorecard Info Tab

Tap the Info tab on the scorecard to pull up quick references without leaving the page:

• Rules cheat sheet — a plain-English summary of today's Game of the Day, including which holes count and how scoring works
• Course info — slope, rating, par, and tee box details for the course you're playing
• Handicap allocation — which holes you're getting strokes on (based on hole handicap rank and your course handicap), so you always know your net position on any hole

Celebration Notifications

When you enter a birdie, eagle, or chip-in, the system automatically sends a push notification to all players on the course — everyone gets to celebrate together.

Leaderboard (Live Scores)

During a round, the leaderboard at /leaderboard (or "Scores" in the nav) updates every 30 seconds with live scoring.

• Filter by flight — tap All, A, B, or C at the top to see just your flight
• Columns — Rank, Player, Thru (holes completed), Gross, Net, Game score, Chip-Ins
• Status dot — green pulse = live updates, gold = final scores posted, red = connection issue
• Chip-in pot — the current pot balance shows at the top when active. If the pot has been carrying for 3+ weeks, you'll see the streak.

Results & Payouts

After each round, full results are posted at the results page (linked from the schedule).

Weekly Pots

Each pot gets $1 per player (~$24/week with 24 players). There are 3 standard pots, plus an optional 4th:

Members & Profiles

The Members page (The Rolodex) shows every TPS member with their current handicap index. Tap any name to see their full profile.

Profile Tabs

• Profile — handicap, career summary, recent score sparkline
• Stats — detailed GHIN stats: putts, fairways, GIR, scrambling, par averages
• Scores — TPS game day history + GHIN score history (best round highlighted in gold)
• Pairings — who you've played with and how many times, plus "new friends" count
• Season — earnings, milestones earned, and progress bars for upcoming milestones

SMS Text Commands

When you get a text from TPS about an upcoming tournament, you can reply with these quick commands:

You can also text naturally — the system understands casual messages like:

• "I'm in!" or "Count me in" → signs you up
• "Can't make it this week" → withdraws you
• "Need a cart please" → requests a cart
• "What's the course this week?" → gives you tournament info

The system will always confirm what it understood, so you'll know your message went through.

App & Notifications

TPS Golf League is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — that means you can install it on your phone like a real app, and receive push notifications for play date reminders, pairings, and results.

Installing the App

When you visit your dashboard, you'll see a green banner prompting you to install. You can also do it manually, or follow the visual step-by-step guide.

Push Notifications

Once the app is installed, you can enable push notifications to get reminders right on your phone — no texts required.

To enable notifications, tap "Enable Notifications" on the dashboard banner. Your browser will ask for permission — tap "Allow." That's it. You can disable them anytime in your phone's notification settings.

Offline Scoring

Golf courses often have spotty cell service. The app caches your scorecard so you can keep entering scores even when you lose connection. Scores save to your phone and sync automatically when you're back online. Look for the sync indicator at the top of the scorecard.

Games Glossary

Each week features a different "Game of the Day" alongside the standard Low Net competition. Here's what each game means:

Milestones & Achievements

TPS tracks your progress through the season and celebrates your achievements. View your milestones on your Dashboard under "Season Story."

Tap-In Achievements

Earned automatically when you check in at the course with your NFC card. Achievement toasts pop up on your Intel page when you unlock a new one.

Season Milestones

Tracked on your Dashboard under "Season Story."

Progress bars on your dashboard show how close you are to unlocking the next milestone.

Nineteen (AI Assistant)

Your AI-powered golf assistant lives in the (19) button at the bottom-right of every page. Think of it as a knowledgeable caddie, stat tracker, and rules official rolled into one. It knows your stats, the schedule, course details, game rules, TPS league rules, and the complete USGA Rules of Golf. After each response, you can give a thumbs up or down to help us improve the answers.

How to Use It

What You Can Ask

19 pulls real-time data about you, the league, and the current round. Here are examples with what to expect:

Your Stats & History

• "How's my season going?" → Your rounds played, scoring average, earnings, rank in your flight, and low round of the season.
• "What's my handicap?" → Your GHIN handicap index plus your course handicap for this week's course (if known).
• "How much have I won?" → Season earnings broken down by Low Net, Game of the Day, and chip-in pot.
• "Who won Low Gross last week?" → 19 checks the "receipts" (past payout snapshots) to settle any 19th hole debates over past tournament winners.
• "Who have I been paired with the most?" → Your recent pairing partners, how often, and when you last played together.
• "How did I do last week?" → Your results from the most recent play date — score, category, and payout.
• "What's my group this week?" → Your group number, groupmates, tee time, and starting hole for the current round.
• "How have I done at Fox Hollow?" → Your scoring history at any course — rounds played, average, best round. If a course has multiple layouts (like Fox Hollow's 3 combos), you get all of them.
• "What badges have I earned?" → Your achievements, check-in streak, total check-ins this season, and how many unique courses you've visited.
• "What's my short game like?" → Deep stats from your GHIN rounds — putting average, fairways hit %, greens in regulation, scrambling, sand saves, and scoring by par 3/4/5.
• "Who's my nemesis?" → Head-to-head analysis — who you score best and worst with when paired together. Ask about a specific partner too: "How do I play with Karen?"
• "What did my lucky charm say?" → Your recent pre-round motivational messages.
• "Who's signed up for next week?" → See who's registered for an upcoming play date and how many spots are taken.

League, Members & Schedule

• "When's the next play date?" → Date, course, and tee time for upcoming play dates.
• "Where are we playing on October 22?" → Looks up the specific date on the schedule.
• "Are we playing in Broomfield this season?" → Searches the schedule by course or club name.
• "Who's leading A flight?" → Top 10 standings in a specific flight.
• "How big is the chip-in pot?" → Current carryover amount and how many weeks it's been building.
• "Tell me about Boulder Country Club" → Course details: par, slope, rating, yardage, prepayment info, and booking notes. Works for any course by name — no active play date required.
• "What's the hardest hole at Broadlands?" → Looks up hole handicap rankings for any course. Follow up with "What about hole 7?" and Nineteen remembers which course you're asking about.
• "Who is [name]?" → Any member's public info: handicap index, flight, rounds played, and season earnings.
• "What's Barb's handicap?" → Looks up any member by name and returns their current handicap and flight.
• League Lore & Gossip → Tell 19 a fun fact (e.g., "Grace hates hole 7"), and she will quietly commit it to League Lore to remember later. She can also pull up gossip on who hasn't chipped in since May.

During a Round

• "What's the game today?" → Full rules for the Game of the Day, including which holes count, scoring method, and any special conditions.
• "Which holes count?" → For partial-round games (Blind 9, Front/Back, Criss-Cross), tells you exactly which holes are in play.
• "Tell me about hole 7" → Par, yardage, handicap rank, and any hole-specific info.
• "How does the wind affect hole 4?" → Calculates plays-like yardage based on current wind speed and direction relative to the hole.
• "Who's here?" → List of players who have checked in at the course.
• "What's the weather?" → Current conditions, wind speed and direction, and forecast.
• "What hole am I near?" → Uses your group's GPS position to identify which hole you're closest to.
• "Are there any local rules here?" → Course-specific local rules (drop zones, OB modifications, cart path restrictions).

Rules & Rulings

19 knows the complete 2023 USGA Rules of Golf (106 rules) plus TPS league rules (tiebreakers, payouts, mutual exclusion, flights, handicap formula, and more). You can ask in plain English, golf slang, or abbreviations. It will cite the rule number and explain your options.

Example Situations

• "My ball is in the water on 14 — what are my options?" → Rule 17.1d: three relief options (stroke and distance, back-on-the-line, lateral), with a recommendation based on the hole layout.
• "I hit it OB. Now what?" → Rule 18.2b: stroke-and-distance penalty, play from where you last hit. Also mentions the model local rule for a 2-stroke lateral option if your league uses it.
• "My ball is plugged in its own pitch mark in the rough" → Rule 16.3b: free relief — mark, lift, drop within one club-length no nearer the hole.
• "Can I move that stake? It's in my way." → Depends on the stake — red/yellow penalty area stakes are movable obstructions; OB stakes (white) are NOT movable.
• "I accidentally moved my ball on the green" → Rule 13.1d: no penalty, replace the ball on its original spot.
• "What happens if I can't find my ball but I know it's in the penalty area?" → Rule 17.1c: if "known or virtually certain," treat it as in the penalty area. No need to go back to the tee.

Rules Best Practices

• Be specific about the situation. "Ball in water" is fine, but "ball in the water on hole 14, right side" gets you better advice because 19 can check the course geometry.
• Use whatever language feels natural. "Dunked it in the drink," "ball is plugged," "I'm OB," "GUR" — 19 understands golf slang and abbreviations.
• Ask about the penalty impact. "If I take a penalty drop on 7, how does that affect my net score?" uses the strategy calculator to show you the real impact — factoring in your handicap strokes on that hole and whether it counts for today's game.

Caddie Mode (On-Course)

When you check in at the course on play day (via NFC tap or GPS), 19 automatically switches to Caddie Mode:

• Text only — no voice input or output (won't go off during someone's backswing)
• Brief answers — max 3 sentences, no chit-chat, straight to the point
• Rules-first — lead with the ruling, then options, then recommendation
• Automatic — you don't have to toggle anything; checking in at the course is the switch

After the round (or on off-days), 19 goes back to its full personality — chatty, witty, and detailed.

Tips & Pitfalls

Quick Comparison: Off-Course vs. On-Course

Admin Guide

The admin dashboard (/admin) is where you manage everything behind the scenes — members, courses, games, payments, and league settings. Only users with the admin role can access these pages.

Admin Command Center

The top of /admin is your at-a-glance command center for the league:

• Countdown — days until the next play date, with the course name and tee time.
• Key stats — active members, rounds played this season, total earnings distributed, and current chip-in pot balance.
• Health alerts — surface issues that need your attention before the next round (e.g., missing tee data, members without handicaps, no pairings set).
• Activity feed — a running log of recent signups, withdrawals, score entries, and admin actions — so you can see what's changed without digging through individual pages.

The Pin Sheet

The Pin Sheet (Admin → Pin Sheet) is your dashboard for everything happening with the league website. Think of it like the pin sheet you get at check-in — but for the platform.

• What's on it: New features, bug fixes, things in progress, and items that need your input — all in plain English.
• React to items: Tap 👍 (looks good), 👎 (not sure), ✅ (got it), or 💬 (let's discuss) on any card.
• Reply: Open the "Reply..." section to send a message. You can attach a photo too. Your reply gets saved so Ryan sees it.
• Filter: Tap the stat cards at the top to jump to specific categories — "Need Your Input" shows the items waiting on you.
• Design docs: Some items have a green "Design Doc" link that shows the full plan behind the feature.

Tournament Lifecycle

Every play date follows this workflow, from creation to final payouts:

1. Create — Go to Admin → Schedule and tap "New Play Date." Pick the date, course, tee box, and assign a scheduler (the person responsible for pairings that week). You can also assign a co-scheduler if two people are sharing duties.
2. Configure — From the scheduler setup page, select the Game of the Day from the games library, add players, set any signup deadline, and choose a pairing strategy.
3. Pair — Generate pairings (see Scheduler Guide below). Review the groups, swap players if needed, then finalize.
4. Play — On game day, the tournament moves to In Progress. Scorers enter scores from the course via the scorecard.
5. Finalize — After the round, go to the review page and tap "Finalize Results." This locks all scores, calculates Low Net + Game of Day winners and chip-in splits, and saves the payout snapshot.

Member Management

Go to Admin → Members to manage the roster.

Substitute Registry

Go to Admin → Subs to view the substitute list. Subs are ranked by seniority (join date). When a spot opens up, call subs in order from the top of the list. Mark members as subs from the Members page by toggling the "Is Sub" field.

Course Management

Go to Admin → Courses to manage the course rotation.

• Each course belongs to a club (e.g., "Flatirons Golf Course" at "City of Boulder").
• Courses can have multiple tee boxes — each with its own slope, rating, and par. Select the right tee when setting up a play date.
• Toggle "In Rotation" to show or hide courses from the schedule dropdown without deleting them (e.g., when a course is closed for the season).
• Hole data (par, handicap rank, yardage) can be entered per course for accurate net scoring and game calculations.

Games Library

Go to Admin → Games to browse all available game templates. Games are organized by tier:

• Auto-Calculated — the engine scores these automatically (Low Net, Stableford, Blind 9, etc.).
• Template — pre-built games that use the standard scoring primitives.
• Custom — games you create with custom rules and descriptions.

When creating a new game, you pick from 6 building blocks: which holes count, throw-outs, gross vs. net, point maps, stat type, and per-hole awards (CTP, long drive, etc.).

Payment Tracking

Go to Admin → Payments to configure payment methods and track membership fees.

• Set up accepted payment providers (Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, cash) with contact info and optional QR codes.
• The membership fee and weekly pot amount are configured in season settings.
• Payouts are automatically calculated when a tournament is finalized — $1/player/week per pot (Low Net, Low Gross if enabled, Game of Day, Chip-In).
• Scorecard payment toggle — on each group's scorecard, the scheduler or scorer can mark individual players as paid/unpaid for that week. Tap the dollar icon next to a player's name to toggle. The scheduler review page shows a summary of who has paid across all groups, making it easy to track on the spot before groups head out.

NFC Player Cards

Go to Admin → NFC Tags to manage the NTAG216 player cards.

• Generate All creates unique tag URLs for every member who does not have one yet.
• Download Cards PDF generates printable CR80-sized player cards (front + back) for a card printer.
• Export CSV downloads member names, IDs, and tag URLs for mail merge or card programming.
• Scans column shows how many times each card has been tapped (NTAG216 hardware counter).
• Reset zeros the scan counter (use when replacing a card).
• Regenerate creates a new URL for a member (invalidates their old card).
• Clear removes the tag assignment entirely.

When pairings are finalized, the system automatically generates a personalized Lucky Charm message for each player using AI. These appear on the player's Intel page when they tap in on play day.

League Email

Go to Admin → Email to send branded emails to the league — weekly updates, announcements, event reminders, whatever you need.

AI-Powered Drafting (Fastest Way)

1. From the Email dashboard, tap "New Campaign."
2. Click the "AI Draft" button in the toolbar.
3. Describe what you want to say — e.g., "kickoff event April 10 at Todd Creek, 9:30 meeting, practice round at 12:30, RSVP by April 1st."
4. The AI writes the email in your voice, filling in league details automatically.
5. Review, tweak anything you want, then "Save & Send."

You can also ask Nineteen to draft an email by saying something like "draft an email about Thursday's round" — it'll create a draft you can open in the editor.

Writing Manually

1. From the Email dashboard, tap "New Campaign."
2. Fill in the Subject Line and optional Preview Text.
3. Choose your audience — All Active Members, a specific flight (A/B/C), or a custom hand-picked list.
4. Type your email just like you would in Gmail or Apple Mail. Use the toolbar for bold, italic, lists, links, and text color.
5. Tap "Preview" to see exactly how recipients will see it (with the TPS header and footer).
6. Tap "Save Draft" to save without sending, or "Save & Send" to send immediately.

Editor Tips

• Just type — the editor works like email. No drag-and-drop needed.
• Highlight text and use the toolbar to bold, italicize, or change color.
• Paste links — they'll automatically become clickable in the sent email.
• The TPS logo header and footer are added automatically when you send — you just write the content.

After Sending

• Back on the Email dashboard, tap any sent campaign to see its analytics — open rate, click rate, which links got clicked, and who opened it.
• Open tracking — a tiny invisible pixel tells you who opened the email and when. If someone clicks a link but the pixel didn't load (some email apps block images), it still counts as opened.
• Click tracking — every link in your email is tracked so you can see what members are clicking on and which links get the most engagement.
• Unsubscribes — a one-click unsubscribe link is automatically added to every email. Gmail and Apple Mail also show a native unsubscribe button at the top. Members who unsubscribe won't receive future campaigns.

Ask Nineteen About Your Emails

After sending a campaign, you can ask Nineteen how it did:

• "How did my last email do?" — open rate, click rate, full breakdown
• "Who opened my email?" — list of names
• "Who hasn't read it yet?" — members who haven't opened
• "Which links got clicked?" — top links by click count

League Settings

Go to Admin → Settings to manage integrations and league configuration:

• GHIN Credentials — username and password for automatic handicap syncing.
• Twilio SMS — Account SID, Auth Token, and phone number for two-way text messaging (reminders, signups via text).
• SMS Preferences — enable/disable SMS, set reminder timing, toggle AI-powered natural language replies.
• Weather API — OpenWeather API key for course weather on scoring pages.
• Demo Mode — toggle to show sample data for demonstrations.
• Push Notifications — VAPID keys are configured as secrets. Push messages are sent alongside SMS for tournament reminders, admin broadcasts, and sub-bot offers. Members opt in from their dashboard.

Time Machine

The Time Machine widget (visible on admin pages) lets you travel to any date and see the platform as it appeared that day — useful for debugging tournament states, verifying past results, or testing upcoming play dates. It uses Cloudflare D1's Time Travel feature for safe, read-only snapshots.

Preview Review

When new features are being tested, you may receive a preview link (a temporary version of the site). Preview builds have a few extras to help you give feedback without ever touching GitHub:

• Purple feedback widget — a small purple button appears in the bottom-left corner of every preview page. Tap it to see what changed in this update.
• What Changed — the widget shows a plain-English summary of the changes included in the preview.
• React — tap to share your take: Love it, Needs changes, or Let's discuss.
• Highlighted changes — new or updated elements on the page are outlined with a purple border so you can spot what's different at a glance.
• Ship It — admins can tap "Ship It" to approve the update and merge it to production directly from the preview.

Scheduler Guide

Schedulers are responsible for building the weekly pairings. You need the scheduler or admin role to access these tools. Your hub is the Scheduler page in the navigation. Play dates can have a co-scheduler — both schedulers see the tournament on their dashboard and can generate pairings, finalize, and manage scores. Admins assign co-schedulers from Admin → Schedule.

Your Weekly Workflow

1. Check signups — Early in the week, visit your assigned play date's review page to see who has signed up. Note any signup comments (carpool requests, early/late preferences).
2. Add/remove players — From the review page, add last-minute signups or remove cancellations. If you need a sub, check the Subs registry for the call order. If there's a waitlist, you'll see an amber card showing who's waiting — tap Promote to move someone up, or Remove to take them off the list.
3. Generate pairings — Tap "Generate Pairings" and choose a strategy (see below). The engine builds optimized groups automatically.
4. Review & tweak — Look over the groups. You can drag players between groups or swap individuals if needed.
5. Finalize pairings — Once you are happy, tap "Finalize." This locks the pairings, makes them visible to members, and automatically generates personalized Lucky Charm messages for each player. Pairings should be posted no later than Monday before the Thursday play date.
6. Frost delay (if needed) — If the course calls a delay on game day, tap "Frost Delay" on the review page. Pick 30/60/90 minutes or enter a custom amount. All tee times shift automatically and players get an SMS with their new tee time. You can increase, decrease, or clear the delay as conditions change.
7. Print tee sheet — Generate and print the PDF tee sheet from the review page. Bring a paper copy as backup.

Setting Up a Play Date

From Scheduler → Setup (or "New Play Date" on the schedule admin):

• Pick the date, course, and tee box.
• Select the Game of the Day from the library — the engine will score this automatically.
• Add players from the member list. Use the search to find members quickly.
• Set a signup deadline if you want to auto-close registration before pairings are built.
• If editing an existing play date, open it via Actions → Edit Setup on the schedule page.

Pairing Strategies

The pairing engine uses history from 3,840+ past pairings to maximize variety. When you generate pairings, choose one of six strategies:

Time Preferences

After pairings are generated, groups are automatically sorted by member time preferences — early groups go out first, late groups last, and mixed/any groups fill the middle. A group needs 75% agreement to be classified as "early" or "late."

Tee Sheet PDF

From the review page, tap "Tee Sheet" to generate a printable PDF. The tee sheet includes group numbers, player names, handicaps, and tee times. Print a copy for the pro shop and keep one as your backup — always bring paper.

Send Tee Sheet to the Course

From the review page, tap "Email to Course" to send the tee sheet directly to the pro shop — no copy-paste needed. The email uses the course's contact info on file and includes the full group list, tee times, and player count. A confirmation appears once sent.

Per-Flight Tee Boxes

When setting up a play date, you can assign different tee boxes per flight. For example, A-flight plays from the blue tees while B and C flight play from the red tees. Configure this in the tournament setup under Flight Tees. Each flight's course handicap is calculated using its own slope and rating, so the math stays accurate regardless of which tees each group plays.

Group Messaging

Need to tell a specific group something? On the Scheduler Review page, each group card has a speech bubble icon (visible after pairings are finalized). Tap it, type your message, and hit Send. Only the players in that group receive the push notification — no need to text individual phone numbers. Great for “please let the group behind play through” or “weather delay, hold on your tee.”

Mid-Round Help (SOS)

Two ways to get help during a round, both on the scorecard page:

• Call Pro Shop — tap the phone icon in the scorecard header. One tap dials the course directly. No digging for phone numbers when your cart dies on hole 14.
• Flag Down Help — tap the flag icon in the scorecard header. Pick a category (Medical Emergency, Need Ranger, Cart Issue, Slow Play, Other) and the system sends an instant push notification to all schedulers and admins with your group number, current hole, and GPS location. Help is dispatched without a phone call.

The pro shop phone number also appears on your NFC tap page before the round starts, so you always have it handy.

Pairing Heatmap

Go to Scheduler → Pairing Heatmap to see a visual grid of who's been paired together this season. Each cell shows the number of times two players have been in the same group — darker means more pairings. Use this to spot overdue combinations or confirm the engine is mixing things up. Filter by season using the dropdown at the top.

Entering Scores

From the review page, tap "Enter Scores" to open the scoring view. Scorers and schedulers can enter scores for any group. Each group's scorecard shows:

• Hole-by-hole stroke entry for every player in the group.
• Putts — shown when the Game of the Day requires putt data (e.g., putts-based games).
• Fairway hit — toggle per hole (hidden on par 3s, since par 3s have no fairway).
• Chip-ins — mark any chip-ins per hole for the chip-in pot.
• GIR glow — the scorecard automatically highlights greens in regulation.

Finalizing Results

After all scores are entered, go to the review page and tap "Finalize Results." This:

1. Locks all scores (no further edits allowed).
2. Calculates Low Net winners by flight (A, B, C).
3. Calculates Low Gross winners by flight (if enabled for this play date — gross scores, no handicap).
4. Calculates Game of the Day winners (mutual exclusion: Low Net → Low Gross → Game of Day — a player can only win one).
5. Splits the chip-in pot among players who chipped in (pot carries over if nobody chipped in).
6. Saves an immutable payout snapshot for the results page.
