Once you've set up UDisc scoring, created rounds, and all players have been added or registered, you can create and manage scorecards. This applies to both league events and standalone events.
Important: Players or teams must be added to the event before generating cards. See How do I add players or teams to my league or event?
How do I get to the Cards tab?
On the web:
For leagues, go to League tools → Events, select your event, then tap Cards.
For tournaments (standalone events), go to your Event tools and tap the Cards tab. In the app, open the event listing, tap Manage event, then tap Cards & leaderboard → Cards.
For league & standalone events in the app: Open the event listing, tap Manage event, then tap Cards & leaderboard → Cards.
How do I create and publish cards?
In the Cards tab, tap Edit cards
Tap Edit rules on the next screen
Fill in your card rules:
Players per card — set how many players are on a typical card
Starting holes — deselect holes you don't want groups to start on if you have fewer players than holes
Division mixing — choose from "Mix when necessary," "Never mix divisions," or "Mix divisions." See Can players from different divisions be on the same card?
Division grouping — group divisions with similar skill levels
Player arrangement — choose "Randomize players" or "Unassign players and let me manually build cards"
Tap Save
Tap Generate cards (or manually assign players)
Review the cards, then tap Publish cards
Tip: Use Publish cards and send notification to players so players receive a notification on their device that they've been added to a card.
If you want to re-generate cards, tap Un-assign all players and choose whether to keep the empty card structure or start from scratch.
How do I publish cards for round 2?
For multi-round events, you can generate cards for round 2 based on the rules you already set. In most cases you won't need to edit rules before round 2 — cards will automatically group players based on their round 1 scores.
In the Cards tab, tap Edit cards
Tap Generate cards
Tap Publish cards (and send notification to players)
Some reasons you might update card rules for round 2:
You want players to start on different holes than round 1
Divisions could mix for round 1 but shouldn't for round 2
The field size shrunk and cards should have fewer players per card
Tip: Want players to create their own cards in round 1, then use placement-based grouping for round 2? Use "Unassign players and let me manually build cards" for round 1 (and make sure "Players and event admin" is enabled), then switch to "Randomize players" for round 2. Cards will automatically group players based on their round 1 scores.
Tip: Want to keep the same card groupings for round 2 instead of re-shuffling by round 1 results? In Edit rules, choose the option to keep the same groupings, then generate and publish cards for round 2 as usual — no need to unassign or rebuild.
When does scoring open and close?
Scorecards unlock automatically approximately 10 minutes before the event start time — so by the time the start time hits, cards should already be unlocked.
Note: The event end time is for display purposes only — it won't automatically lock cards or stop scoring. You'll need to complete the event manually if needed.
How do I unpublish cards?
To make changes to a published card, unpublish it first.
To unpublish a single card:
Tap the 3-dot menu to the right of the card
Tap Unpublish card
Return to the Cards tab to make edits and republish
To unpublish multiple cards at once:
Tap Actions → Unpublish cards
Tap Go to card setup to edit rules and regenerate
Note: You can't unpublish a card that has started scoring until all scores are removed. Go to Leaderboard → pencil icon → Adjust scores & penalties, remove all scores, then unpublish.
Can I move a player to another card?
Yes — even if a card has been published or scoring has started, you can move players to another card.
Go to the Leaderboard tab
Tap the pencil icon next to the player's name
Select Move to card...
Use the dropdown to choose the card, then tap Save
Note: If no other cards exist, go to Actions → Create new card first, then return to move the player. If you don't see the "Move to card" option, the event may be set to Complete — toggle it back to Incomplete from the Leaderboard tab, then try again.
See How do I add players or teams to my league or event? for help removing players or marking them as DNF.
Who can create cards?
Choose who can create cards with the Who can create cards? setting when you create or edit an event (in Event tools, it's on the Scoring tab). There are two options:
Players and event admin — players can create cards when they arrive at the course and check in to the event. They check in, create their own card, add playing partners, and can join existing cards that haven't started.
Just event admin — all cards must be created and managed by the event admin. Players can keep score, but can't create cards or change cardmates.
Event admins can always create cards from the Cards tab, whichever option you choose.
Note: Choosing Players and event admin turns on player check-in. To keep players from checking in, set Who can create cards? to Just event admin first. Events that use flex start need Players and event admin, or players won't be able to check in. Check-in opens at midnight local time on the day of the event.
Tip: If a player has already been assigned to a card, they shouldn't create a new scorecard — it can cause problems on the leaderboard.
What happens when players create their own team cards?
When players check in and start their own card for a teams event, the person creating the card taps Start round and selects everyone on that card. The app then generates teams automatically. Before the card is created, the card creator can tap and hold a player and drag them to the correct team, or tap the shuffle button in the top right to reassign players. There's no setting to turn off the automatic team generation.
Why isn't my event's leaderboard showing players?
A leaderboard shows players as soon as their cards are live. If the event day has arrived and the leaderboard still says "Come back soon to check live scores", the event isn't set up for scoring yet.
As the event admin, work through these in order:
Scoring is turned on for the event. This comes first, because rounds and cards depend on it. See How can I turn on scoring for my UDisc event?
The round has been created. Cards can only be created for an event round, so if no round exists, there is nothing for players to score on. Set up the round with the layout that will be played. See How do I set up rounds?
Cards are created and published, or players can create their own. Either generate and publish cards from the Cards tab, or set Who can create cards? to Players and event admin so players can check in and create their own cards from the event.
Set up the rounds and cards ahead of the event, before players arrive. Scores recorded on personal scorecards before the round exists can't be moved onto the event afterwards.
