🎯 Does UDisc support alternate scoring formats like match play, skins, or ace race?

UDisc only supports traditional stroke play scoring. Learn why we can't support alternate formats like match play, skins, ace race, or putting leagues.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

UDisc is built specifically for traditional stroke play scoring, where each throw counts as one stroke. We don't currently support alternate scoring formats that use points-based systems or non-stroke play rules.

What formats aren't supported?

We can't score any format that doesn't follow standard stroke play, including:

  • Match play

  • Skins

  • Ace race

  • Putting leagues

  • Any other points-based formats

What about doubles or team formats?

Team formats like doubles, best shot doubles, and alternate shot are fully supported! These formats still use stroke play scoring. It's specifically points-based scoring systems that we can't support.

Why doesn't UDisc support these formats?

Recording rounds with alternate scoring formats throws off the stats, both yours and everyone else's. Things like average scores, layout difficulty, and round ratings all depend on accurate stroke play data to be meaningful.

Can I still list my event on UDisc?

Yes! You can absolutely create an event listing for alternate format events. This helps players discover your event and get all the details. You'll just need to handle scoring outside of UDisc using a different method.
