Creating A New League

Creating A New League

Before You Begin

Make sure to have an adequate understanding of Leagues by viewing our League Software Basics article.

What's The Point?

Before a successful League can run through a Gallus Golf custom-branded mobile app, the initial framework must be set up. This includes details like the scoring format, dates of rounds, default tee boxes, logos, and even the season-long point values. It's vital that this information is set up properly before the rest of the League can be configured.

This article will detail the steps to create a League along with the specific options available in each section of the New Event page.

Step 3: Season Long Leaderboard Points

For Leagues that reward players for consistently high play, we've added the ability to track Season Long Leaderboard points. This follows a format similar to the tour's season-long Cup, which awards a set amount of points to each placement on the weekly leaderboard that's added to the player/team's Season Long Point total on the Season's Leaderboard.

To set these up, click the checkbox next to Use Points with Season Long Leaderboard.

Not interested in keeping Season Long Points? Just leave this box unchecked and we'll leave it out of the League's Season Leaderboard.
