Score your next golf tournament using ParPoints.
If you run an organization, a course, or a club, and you've got a golf tournament to plan, you should consider making it a ParPoints tourney. Why? Well, for one thing, it's free. That never hurts. It also works for groups of players with diverse skill levels and speeds up pace of play. Oh, and it's just a ton of fun. Let's summarize...
Have all players and organizers download the app.
It'd be best if everyone downloaded the app before they came to the course the day of the tournament, so no one runs into network connectivity issues, but we won't nitpick.
Start a new game, and choose your game format.
You can play as INDIVIDUALS or on TEAMS. Team play can either be BEST BALL or TEAM TOTALS. In Best Ball, a team’s score reflects the highest score any of its players submits per hole.
Share the Game PIN with everyone.
When you create a new game, a 4-digit PIN is generated. Make sure everyone has this PIN, as that’s how players will join the game and view the shared leaderboard.
Have the players join the game.
Once the game is created and the PIN is shared around, players can tap PLAY, followed by JOIN A GAME. Once they type in the PIN and confirm the details of the game’s creator, they’re in!
Everyone chooses their course and starting hole.
Remember, ParPoints can be played across multiple courses simultaneously. So each player can choose a course and hole they're starting on—and each player’s choices can be different. Don’t worry, the app can handle it.
Now tell everybody to get out there and go make par!
That's all there is to it! Sit back, relax, and watch the point totals roll in from happy golfers.
