Audience: League Admins, Event Organizers | Level: Beginner | Requires: An approved UDisc League or a standalone event with UDisc scoring enabled
⚡ Quick Answer
Access your Participants tab from League Tools or Event Tools, then add players individually or as teams. For leagues, start in League Tools → Events → select your event. For standalone events, go directly to Event Tools. League events have scoring turned on automatically. For standalone events created at udisc.com/events/add, make sure to select Yes for using UDisc scoring before adding players. Both follow the same steps once you're in the Participants tab.

🔀 How to randomize players onto teams
Rather than building teams manually, you can use the randomize tool to automatically assign players to teams. See the full guide here: 🔀 How do I randomize players for a teams event?
➖ Removing or Unregistering Players
If a player drops out, you have three options depending on when they withdraw.
❌ Remove them from the event entirely
If the player has already started scoring:
Remove all their scores via Leaderboard → Pencil icon → Adjust scores & penalties
Go to the Participants tab
Tap the 3-dot menu → Unregister participant
Tap Remove
If no scores have been added:
Go to the Participants tab
Tap the 3-dot menu → Unregister participant
Tap Remove
🛑 Mark them as Did Not Finish (DNF)
Keep the player registered but mark them as DNF. See How can I set players as Did Not Finish (DNF)?
✅ Verify their incomplete score
If a player completed some holes before dropping out, you can accept their partial score once the event is complete and all other players have submitted their cards. Before doing this, ask the player who dropped out to stop recording and leave any unplayed holes blank on their scorecard.
Once the event is complete:
Go to the Leaderboard tab
Tap the 3-dot menu on the card → Mark card as verified
Select No when asked "Mark players with an incomplete round as DNF?"
