Quick Answer
Go to League Tools → Events → + Create new event. Choose a template (Casual sign up for weekly leagues, Formal sign up for pre-registration, Advanced for tournaments). Configure date, course, divisions (optional), and settings. Create events 1-2 weeks in advance for best turnout.
🎯 Before You Create Your First Event
Make sure you've completed:
✅ League setup (General settings, divisions, photos)
✅ Decided on your event format (flex start, shotgun, tee times)
✅ Chosen whether to use pre-registration or check-in only
If you haven't completed setup yet, see 🧱 Setting up your league.

Step 1: Navigate to Event Creation
Go to League Tools (udisc.com/dashboard or You → Menu (≡) → Dashboard)
Select your league
Tap Events tab
Tap + Create new event
Step 2: Choose Your Event Template
Select the template that fits your event:
🏃 Casual sign up - Player check-in, flexible arrivals, supports recurrence
📋 Formal sign up - Pre-registration, organized tee times, supports recurrence
📅 Casual multi-day - Weekend events, no recurrence
⚙️ Advanced - Multi-round tournaments, pools, no recurrence, no handicap scoring
💡 Pro tip: Use Single Round templates for your first event. You can always create Advanced events later when needed.
Step 3: Configure Event Basics
