Flights

Quick answer

Flights split your field into competitive divisions — typically by handicap (A-flight for low handicaps, B-flight for mid, C-flight for high). Each flight gets its own leaderboard and prizes. Flights are optional; casual events usually don't need them.

What are flights?

A flight is a competitive group within your event. All teams (or players, in individual format) in a flight compete against each other on a separate leaderboard. Flights are most commonly set up by handicap range — A-flight is the strongest players, B-flight is mid-range, and so on.

Enabling flights

Flights can be enabled when creating a tournament (toggle 'Enable flights' on the Format step and set the number of flights). They can also be turned on later via tournament Settings. Once enabled, a Flights tab appears in the Setup group of your sidebar.

Creating flights

1. 1

   Go to the Flights tab

   Open your tournament and click Flights in the sidebar. If no flights exist yet, you'll see a form to create them.

2. 2

   Create your flights

   Enter the number of flights you want (e.g. 3 for A/B/C) and click Create. ScrambleSync creates named flights in order.

3. 3

   Rename flights (optional)

   Click on any flight name to rename it inline — for example, 'A Flight', 'Senior', or 'Ladies'.

Assigning teams or players to flights

In scramble and best-ball formats, you assign teams to flights. In individual format, you assign players. Both work the same way on the Flights tab.

1. 1

   Auto-split by handicap

   Click Auto-split to have ScrambleSync divide teams (or players) into flights evenly by handicap. This requires handicap values to be entered on the Teams or Players tab first.

2. 2

   Assign manually

   Use the flight dropdown next to each team or player to assign them to a specific flight. This gives you full control over groupings regardless of handicap.

Flight leaderboards

Once flights are assigned, the Scoreboard page automatically shows a per-flight leaderboard alongside the overall board. Spectators and golfers can switch between flights on the live leaderboard and wallboard.
