Adding A Skins Leaderboard In Any Event

Adding A Skins Leaderboard In Any Event

Before You Begin

Make sure to view our Tournament Software Basics article to ensure you have a proper understanding of the Gallus Events Software.

What's The Point?

Tournament or league admins often want to create a Skins leaderboard to have either a side or main competition within an Event. The Gallus Events software allows for Skins leaderboards to be added to any tournament or league, either for the entire field or a subset of players that have been added to a Flight.

What Are Skins?

Skins is a scoring format in golf that consists of players or teams competing to "win the hole" by having the best score. The player or team must win the hole outright in order to receive the Skin. If no one wins the hole outright, the Skin is added to the next hole (i.e., if no one wins hole 1, hole 2 is potentially worth 2 Skins).

Gallus Events Leaderboards have two options to display Skins (with gross or net scoring):
  1. By Hole
    1. Each hole is listed as a line item. If a player or team wins, their name appears next to the applicable hole.

  2. By Player or Team
    1. Each player or team is listed as a line item with the number of Skins they earned per round.

Steps To Complete

  1. Create a tournament or league (click for instructions).
  2. If you aren't within the event yet, click on Events in your Gallus Admin Dashboard and select the event you'd like to edit.
  3. On the Event checklist page, click Leaderboards.
  4. On the ensuing page, click Add Leaderboard. A field appears below with a default new leaderboard selection. Click on the title to display all of your options.
  5. Select a Skins leaderboard and click Add.

      1. This list will automatically update based on the format of the event you've chosen.

  6. DONE! The leaderboard will now appear as a page within the event's leaderboards link. Continue adding if there are multiple versions of the Skins leaderboard, or create a flight to add an option for a subset of players within the event.
