Frequently asked questions
Do golfers need to create an account?
No. Golfers join their team with a short code (or by scanning the QR on their cart sign) and score directly — no account, no download.
Does ScrambleSync work without cell signal on the course?
Yes. Scores save offline and sync automatically when the device reconnects. The app is designed to keep working through poor or spotty coverage.
What formats does ScrambleSync support?
Scramble, best-ball, and individual stroke play. Each can be scored gross, net, or Stableford. You can show multiple leaderboards at once.
