⚡ Quick Answer
Traveling leagues are fully supported in UDisc. Keep one league and create a new flex start event each week — one per course. Players can check in and play at any point during your open window, on whichever course that week's event is at. Standings accumulate across all events automatically.
🗺️ What Is a Traveling League?
A traveling league (also called a multi-course league) rotates play between different courses on a regular schedule — weekly, monthly, or any cadence you choose. Instead of always playing the same course, members follow the league to a new location each round.
UDisc supports this setup 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, so your season results stay in one place.
🛠️ Recommended Setup
🏌️ Step 1: Create your league
If you haven't already, apply for and set up your UDisc League. Your league is the home base — all of your rotating events will live under it.
📅 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.
Open your League Tools and tap Events
Tap Create event
Select the course for that week
Choose the appropriate layout
Set your event dates and play window (see Step 3)
Publish the event
💡 Tip: Use the duplicate event feature to save time. Copy a previous week's event and update only the course, layout, and dates. 🔃 How do I duplicate a UDisc event?
🕐 Step 3: Use flex start so members can play any day
If your members want to play at their own time during the week rather than on one set day, use a flex start event. Flex start opens a play window — players check themselves in and start their round whenever works for them during that window.
When creating your event, select Flex Start as the start format
Set the start date (when the window opens) and end date (when it closes)
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. 💪 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. You don't need to manage results across multiple leagues or manually combine scores.
Make sure to turn on league standings if you'd like a leaderboard that reflects players progress across their entire season. 🔢 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, you'll need to create one before your event goes live. See How should I create an event-specific layout?
Handicaps follow the league, not the course. If you have handicap scoring enabled, players' handicaps will 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 event, and all players must play that course. When you set up a league event, you assign it to one specific course. Players checking into that event are expected to play that course. There is no way to have players play different courses on the same week and appear on the same leaderboard.
One event per course per week. Don't create multiple events for the same week at different courses — players should check into the one event for that week's designated course.
Players can play the same event more than once if rebuys are enabled. If your league allows members to play multiple times in a single event, turn on rebuys in your league settings. See What are rebuys in UDisc Leagues?
Flex start events require players to check themselves in. Unlike pre-registration events, players in a flex start event find the event in the app, check in, and start their own scorecard.
