🗺️ How to Set Up a Traveling or Multi-Course League

How to run a league that rotates between multiple courses, using flex start events and league standings to keep everything in one place.

A traveling league (also called a multi-course league) rotates play between different courses on a regular schedule. UDisc supports this fully — you run everything under one league, creating a new event each week for whichever course you're visiting. All events feed into the same standings automatically.

Recommended setup

Step 1: Create your league

If you haven't already, apply for and set up your UDisc League. All of your rotating events will live under it. See Getting Started: How to Apply for a UDisc League and Setting up your league.

Step 2: Create a new event each week for that week's course

Each time your league visits a new course, create a new event under your league and assign it to that course and layout.

  1. Open your League tools and tap Events

  2. Tap Create event

  3. Select the course and layout for that week

  4. Set your event dates and play window

  5. Publish the event

Tip: Use the duplicate event tool to save time — copy a previous week's event and update only the course, layout, and dates. See How do I duplicate a UDisc event?

Step 3: Use flex start so members can play any day

If your members want flexibility to play at their own time during the week, use a flex start event. Players check themselves in and start their round whenever works for them within the play window.

  1. When creating your event, select Flex Start as the start format

  2. Set the start date (when the window opens) and end date (when it closes)

  3. Players can check in and play any time within that window

Tip: A one-week window (e.g., Monday through Sunday) works well for traveling leagues where members have varying schedules. See Creating a flex start league event on UDisc.

Step 4: Let standings do the work

Because all events live under the same league, UDisc automatically rolls up scores into your league standings. Enable standings if you'd like a leaderboard that reflects players' progress across the full season. See How do league standings work?

Things to know

  • Each course needs an existing layout in UDisc. If a course you're rotating to doesn't have the layout you need, create one before your event goes live. See How to choose or create a layout for your league or event.

  • Handicaps follow the league, not the course. If handicap scoring is enabled, players' handicaps adjust automatically based on the layout each week. Players need at least one completed qualifying round in this league before they receive a handicap.

  • One course per standard league event. When you set up a standard league event, it's assigned to one specific course. If you need players to play different courses in the same event and appear on one leaderboard, convert to an Advanced event — you can then create rounds at different courses that roll up into a single leaderboard. See How do I convert to an Advanced event?

  • Rebuys let players play the same event more than once. If your league allows this, turn on rebuys in your league settings. See What are rebuys in UDisc Leagues?

  • The course you're rotating to isn't in UDisc? Anyone can add a course — go to udisc.com/courses/add or tap You tab → Menu (≡) → Add a course in the app.

  • The course is invite-only? Invite-only courses won't auto-populate in the course search when you set up the event. Type the course's exact name and it will appear so you can select it.
