PlayThru multi-round scoring allows you to combine multiple events in one leaderboard. You can now create one tournament with up to four rounds.
This resource details how to use PlayThru's multi-round features and answers some frequently asked questions.
When you log into your PlayThru account, you'll see a lock icon in the Multiround column of the event dashboard. This means that the multiround features are currently locked for that event. It is a paid feature.
To unlock multiround scoring, simply click the Lock icon and you'll be taken to the upgrade tab of that event. Multi-Round Features cost $15 to unlock.
Select the multiround option and then click the Checkout button. This will take you to Stripe to complete your purchase. Once done, you'll return to your Dashboard, but things will look different.
For starters, you'll notice a nice, new yellow + button on the far right of the event row. This button is how you add additional rows to your event. In addition, you'll see "Round 1" underneath the event name.
If you've used PlayThru before, creating an event is the same.
We always recommend you set up your first round before adding a second round because all the settings of the first round are copied over to the second when a new round is added.
Once done with the first round set up, click the + button from the dashboard or directly above the tab names in the Outing Organizer.
The scorecard only involves sharing one link. You'll use that one link for each day of the event. When open, golfers will see the option to select from Round 1, Round 2, etc. Golfers will simply select the button for the round being played.
You'll have the option to mark the round as complete in the Outing Organizer. This will grey out the Round button so no one can select it. It's a nice safeguard to stop golfers from going back into a previous round.
It's worth noting, PlayThru does support multiround match play events that can use different formats and golfer pairings. Learn how to setup a multiround match play event here.
The Tee information in the Course tab is copied when you add new rounds. However, you can change the tee information for each round in your tournament if you want.
In other words, if your tournament will be played at four different courses, you can change up the tee pars and handicaps for each round. This will not affect how the scoring is calculated.
