How to create a golf competition/public event

The following information will show you how to create competition within golfscoretracker which can be linked to your society.  You can also create public competitions which other users can then join.

Step1
First access the events link from the main navigation and select the create competition link.  This page also provides quick access to competitions you manage or have/are competiting in.

Step 3
The next screen allows you to enter some basic information in terms of competition name, date, competition type, whether it's a society competition.  Selecting the checkbox for public competition will allow other GST users to request to join your competition.

Step 4
If you selected the public competition link you are then able to specify the maximum competitors and groups and also provide some further information on the event.  Once you reach your maximum competitors no further users can request to join.

Step 5
If you run a society and chose the option for a society competition then you are able to specify the scoring system that will be used when calculating the society leaderboard.  You can also specify which leaderboard to use, this allows for seasonal leaderboards with society competitions.  For more information of the golfscoretracker golf society system click here.

Step 6
Finally you can then add competitors to your event who will receive an invite to participate.  The selection list shown will be that of your golf buddies or society members.

Step 7
When you access the competition list and select the competition you will be presented with an overview of your competition and who is playing.  From here as the competition organiser you can delete competitors and approve any requests to join.
