Join codes explained

Quick answer

Every team in ScrambleSync gets a unique short code (called a join code or access code). Golfers visit scramblesync.com/play, enter the code, and immediately get their digital scorecard — no account, no app download. Each code is unique to one team for one event.

What is a join code?

A join code is a short alphanumeric code (for example, A3K7R2) that is automatically generated for each team when you create or generate teams. The code is how golfers authenticate to their scorecard — no login, no password, just the code.

How golfers use a join code

1. 1

   Scan the QR code on their cart sign

   The cart sign PDF includes a QR code for each team. Golfers scan it with their phone camera and land directly on their scorecard — no typing needed.

2. 2

   Or go to scramblesync.com/play

   Golfers can also open a browser, go to scramblesync.com/play, and type their join code. This works if the QR scan isn't available.

3. 3

   Score and play

   Once in, golfers see their scorecard, GPS yardage, live leaderboard, and any contests on their holes. No account creation or app download is needed.

Where to find join codes

• Teams tab — each team row shows its join code
• Tee Sheet PDF — lists every team with their code and starting hole (print one per volunteer or post at registration)
• Cart Signs PDF — each sign has the team's QR code (which encodes the join URL)

Sharing codes before the event

You can share join codes ahead of event day by texting or emailing them to team captains. The code works any time after the tournament is created — golfers can even enter practice scores before the round.

The join URL

The full join URL for a team is scramblesync.com/j/<code> (for example, scramblesync.com/j/A3K7R2). This is what the QR code on the cart sign encodes. You can also share this URL directly via text or email.
