Tournament Details

Where can I find the tournament schedule?

All upcoming tournaments are listed on the tournaments page. You can view dates, locations, course information, and entry fees. Most tournaments open registration several weeks in advance.

Tournament details, including format, number of holes, and course handicaps, are listed on each tournament's registration page.

Where can I view my player's scores?

Scores are published on the tournament leaderboard and on your player's public profile page. You can also access score details through your parent account in the tournament results section.

How are rankings determined?

Season rankings are calculated based on points earned at each tournament. Points are awarded according to finish position in each division. The live standings show your player's cumulative points and their ranking in their division. Rankings update after each tournament is completed and verified.
