1. Bug: Handicap Percentage Not Applying Adjusted Handicap to Rounds, Leaderboards
   
1. We have resolved an issue when you create a league and use Handicap Percentage (Handicap Allowance) the Adjusted Handicap value does not automatically apply to the Edit Leaderboard and Live Leaderboard pages. You have to go back, adjust the Handicap Allowance again and then it applies the Adjusted Handicap value to Edit Leaderboard and Live Leaderboard. 
   
2. Bug: Player's Adjusted Handicap not Applying to Edit Leaderboard and Live Leaderboard
   
1. We have resolved an issue when you update a Team's or Player's handicap while using Handicap Allowance (percentage) or you manually update the Team's or Player's handicap on the List screen the adjusted handicap is then not updated on Edit Leaderboard and Live Leaderboard pages. 
   
3. Feature: Disable Leagues Handicap Percentage and Round Handicap Percentage
   
1. We have added in a feature where the handicap percentage of the event will disabled as soon as the first round concludes. We also disable each round handicap percentage once the round passes (12:00am). This ensures that you can adjust handicap percentages per round but not disrupt past rounds.

2. Bug: Leaderboard Scrolling Issues
   
1. Over the years there has been feedback that live leaderboards do not work at 100% on a computer or TV screen and that the only way to get them to work is by zooming. We have been able to resolve this issue. No more zooming unless it's desired and if so it's recommended to only go up one or two or down one.  It's also important to note that this works best on Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Please do not use any other browsers with leaderboards otherwise you'll possibly experience this issue or others. 

June 26, 2024

Update to 13.01 Required

1. App GPS, Tee Colors, Yardages, Footer Menu
   
1. We focused on making sure our tee labels were tappable and with proper contrast by adding a border around the tee marker color. If voice over is not enabled you'll see a tooltip providing context. The footer menu is the action color so our color checker in Manager alerts clients if their colors are non compliant. Voice over notes the tee labels and footer menu. We also slightly increased the font weight. Our map/hole images are actually small svg's stiched together at thus left empty.
   
2. App Scorecard and Stats Golfer Circle
   
1. We focused on increasing the color contrast to white text since this background color is hardcoded and adjusted the handicap circle color as well. We also added voice over context noting 'Handicap 7' for the end user. 
   
3. Side Menu Items, Buttons
   
1. We added additional information to our side menu items ('menu item'), home screen buttons ('button') and news and events banners ('button') to provide voice over context to the end user that it is actionable once tapped. 
   
4. Welcome / Login Screen
   
1. We adjusted the font to white and increased the gradient overlay to ensure visibility. 
   
5. App Scorecard Tee Colors, Par, Handicap, Yardages 
   
1. We focused on making sure our tee labels were tappable and with proper contrast by adding a border around the tee marker color. If voice over is not enabled you'll see a tooltip providing context. Voice over reads Par and Handicap and we slightly increased the font weight for readability between the gray background color. 
   
6. Popups
   
1. We ensured that when the close 'x' is tapped in voice over it says close and on older versions of popups such as 'birdie' share we increased the background gray color to white text making it compliant. 
   
7. GPS Status
   
1. We adjusted our icons to represent different states so that it's not reliant on 'color' for status. When tapped each state notes in voice over what it is - on/good, on/ok, on/poor, and off and that you can enable or disable. This update is for Scorecard and Driving Range. 

June 20, 2024

Update to 12.06 Required

1. App Forms Input Fields
   
1. Focus on voice over for input fields. It's important to note that because we are managing two code bases those drop down fields using Sencha will not provide voice over. We hope to resolve this at a later time by migrating features to React. 
2. App GPS Navigational Arrows
   
1. Focus on voice over for GPS navigational arrows. When tapped the user will be provided context (i.e. next hole or previous hole). 
3. App Add a Player, Edit a Player
   
1. We increased color contrast to ensure the gray background with white text is compliant. We also added voice over context when you tap on the plus sign or the primary player. 
   
4. Bug: League Error When Changing Format After Second Round
   
1. We found a bug where Leagues were changing second round formats but were not adding those formats to Leaderboards. This created an issue where it seems like rounds were being recorded but for the wrong format which lead to missing scores. It's important that if you want to change a round format that you do it before the round starts and make sure to add the correct leaderboards and remove the original ones. 

June 14, 2024

Update to 12.05 Required

1. App Account Settings Gear

Update to 11.14 Required

1. Bug: Driving Ranges Not Able to View/Add/Remove Targets
   
1. Resolves a recent issue were targets are not visible so customers could not view, add or remove targets. Google recently deprecated the API that had been used to create pins. The only adjustment is that the text of the pin will now be visible on the hover and no longer be a color. 
2. Bug: Player & Team List Can't Change Handicap to "E"
   
1. We found a bug when we added the drop down to the player and team list pages where you can't change a player's handicap to "E" on the same day. 
3. Bug: Player List Reorders to First Name when Handicap or Tee Box drop down Adjusts
   
1. We found a bug when you update the tee box or handicap drop down it adjusted the order to First Name even if you were using Handicaps, Last Name, etc. The filter order will now maintain. 
4. Bug: Team List Reorders to Name when Handicap drop down Adjusts
   
1. We found a bug when you update the handicap drop down it adjusts the order to Name even if you were using Handicaps or Score. The filter order will now maintain.

April 18, 2024

Update to 11.13 Required

1. Add Course Handicap Drop Down for Player List
   
1. Tournament & League Managers can now adjust player's course handicaps from the Player List page. This change applies to Player Details and Edit Player pages. Similarly, adjustment made on the Edit Player page will update the Player Details and Player list pages. These changes affect future rounds, not past ones. 
2. Add Course Handicap Drop Down for Team List
   
1. Tournaments & Leagues Managers can now adjust team’s course handicaps from the Team List page. This change applies to Team Details and Edit Team pages. Similarly, adjustments made on the Edit Team page update the Team Details and Team List pages. These changes affect future rounds, not past ones. It’s important to note that because Tournament Teams do not have a round drop down on the List Page the Course Handicap field will not be disabled once a round has passed, however changes to that handicap should not be affected.
   
3. Adjust Tournament & League Course Handicap Logic & Improve Messaging
   
1. Team or Player Course Handicaps can be adjusted until 11:59pm on the same day. After 12:00am, or the next day, handicap adjustments are locked for that round and you will see a tooltip message ‘Cannot update course handicap if round date has passed' notifies Managers. In Tournaments, the Team Course Handicap drop down remains active as we don’t currently separate out rounds.

Update to 11.12 Required

1. Reverse Default Sort Order for Event List Page
   
1. Current and upcoming Tournaments and Leagues are now using descending order which has the earliest event at the top and the latest event at the bottom. Past events are still ordered ascending. 
2. Bug: Round 1 Label Showing on All Rounds on League Leaderboards
   
1. Round 1 label was showing on all rounds on League Leaderboards leading to confusion. We have removed this label while keeping round number available on the popup when you click on 'date'. 
3. Bug: Match Play Format Appearing in Leagues
   
1. This was a fix to an earlier story that initially removed Match Play format from leagues when first launched. Going forward when creating an League event Match Play will not be a format available for selection. While we aren't able to support Match Play at this time we do plan to evaluate how it could be included in the future.

1. Bug: Ensure Net Scoring Is Reflected On League Weekly Leaderboards
   
1. Leagues utilizing net scoring will now see the proper net score reflected on their individual net leaderboards.
2. Bug: Display Flights On League Weekly Leaderboards
   
1. Flight leaderboards previously weren't functioning on weekly leaderboards (they were just a blank screen). They are functioning properly now!
3. Bug: Fix Errors After Adding Rounds To An Existing League
1. When an admin added some rounds to a league, then added some players, then added some more rounds, a few issues would ensue. We have made sure league coordinators can now edit their leagues accordingly after adding more rounds:
   
1. The League Roster page is now viewable and editable after adding more rounds.
   
2. The Groups page is now viewable and editable after adding more rounds.
   
3. Leaderboards are now created automatically for any new rounds that are added.
4. Bug: Fix Leagues Spreadsheet Import Issues
   
1. When utilizing the spreadsheet import method for importing a league roster, coordinators were previously experiencing some issues that have now been resolved:
   
1. Uploading a large amount of players for a large number of rounds now allows for admins to navigate away from the page while the upload finishes processing.
   
2. Inputting Flights in their respective spreadsheet column now assigns the correct teams/players to their designated Flight(s) for EVERY round in the league.
   

1. Bug: Some Active Rounds Not Showing in Mobile
1. This story fixes a corner case where league rounds added after a league was created were not displaying for users to join in the app. This fix ensures users will be able to find their league round to join regardless of when the admin set it up.
   
2. Bug: GPS Timezone & UK Issue
1. Users of apps in the 0 timezone (London, UK, etc.) that navigated away from their scorecard and attempted to re-enter were seeing a blank white screen, preventing them from finishing their round. This fix ensures they can continue entering scores throughout their day.
   

1. FEATURE: Scrollable Pop-Up Content
1. This story allows Pop-Up's to now be scrollable, which empowers app admins to get even more content. With the recent addition of the Simple Editor to the Gallus admin dashboard, Pop-Up's now have an unparalleled amount of customizability.
   
2. 
   

1. BUG - Indicate Waiting Or DNP On Leaderboard For League Members Without A Score
   
1. League users that didn’t have scores inputted weren’t having any info showing next to their name (a "-" under the score column, Waiting under the Thru column on the day of the event, or DNP on any subsequent day). This information is now displaying properly.
   
2. 
   
2. Bug: Use Round-Specific Adjusted Handicap For League Leaderboards
   
1. League print materials weren’t using the proper round’s adjusted handicap (handicap allowance), resulting in incorrect information on check-in sheets, scorecards, etc. This number is reliable on all exports once again.
   

Update To 9.11 Required

1. Feature: New Body Editor For All Features - Pop-Ups, News, Offer Locker & Download Incentives
   
1. We've brought the revolutionary editor from Pages to ALL of our other modules! Add larger heading text, insert tappable links (to URL's, emails, or phone numbers) with ease, and upload images directly into the body of any News item, Pop-Up, or Offer.
   
2. 
   

1. Bug: Pages Content Goes Back To The Top Every Time Header Or Link Is Changed
   
1. This story fixes an issue with creating/editing a Page where highlighting the text and selecting header or link would take the admin user back to the top of the box. Now we'll keep them at the spot they were editing in the body section for a much smoother user experience.
   
2. Bug: League Weekly Leaderboards Not Functioning Properly
   
1. This story gets the weekly Leaderboard links working for Leagues after it previously was displaying an error message for end users.
3. Feature: Per-Round League Leaderboard Editing
1. This story allows League admins to edit the Leaderboards within individual rounds of Leagues.
   
2. The main thing this story provides is the ability to manually do tiebreakers for leaderboards within League rounds.
   
4. Feature: Add Did Not Play On League Leaderboards For Those Without A Score Inputted
1. This story places a DNP designation on players throughout the league software on the next calendar day from a league round.
2. For example, if I'm a player that didn't record scores for a round on 1/27/23, I'll see a DNP label on my round in all of the following locations on 1/28/23:

2. Team List
3. Team Detail
4. Leaderboards (In Actual Leaderboard)
   

Update To 9.10 Required

1. Fixed the badge count on the Home Screen/Side Menu button within the app. (It previously wasn't displaying the number of unread messages.)
   
1. These won't be cleared until Message Center is viewed.
2. Clears the iOS app badge when the app is opened (Home Screen is viewed).
   
3. Updates Message Center to display all Push Notifications received by the user in the past 30 days (from 7 days previously).
   

No Update Required

1. Bug: Reflect Adjusted Handicap On Tournaments Scorecard Dots
1. After our update to support Handicap Allowance for events, admins reached out asking for us to apply the proper number of dots to both scorecard exports and the player/team page within the dashboard. We've updated all of these sections to reflect the proper number of strokes players and/or teams are getting in a round.
   
2. 
   
3. 
   
2. Bug: Adjust Tournament Scorecards To Print Two To A Page
1. Some admins were experiencing one scorecard printing per page, which wasted quite a bit of paper! This fix updates our Tournament Software scorecards export to print two to a page when groups are five or less. (Six or more will result in one per page for formatting purposes.)
3. Bug: Allow App Admins To Delete/Cancel Scheduled Targeted Pushes
   
1. Customers scheduling targeted Push notifications to a large number of users were unable to delete/cancel them due to the user emails running off the page to the right. This fix ensures the page displays properly and admins are once again able to cancel their scheduled targeted pushes in the Scheduled section of the dashboard.
   
2. 
   

1. Feature: Add Pop-Up Trigger Value Every time, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10 to "On App Open"
1. When admins set up an App Open Pop-Up, they have the opportunity to select how often it displays to users. (Every 2x they open the app, 3x, etc.) This information wasn’t displayed anywhere in the dashboard after the Pop-Up was saved, but now it is on the main listing page.
   
2. 
   
2. Bug: Refresh Tournament Software Player List After Adding A Player
1. Eagle-eyed tournament admins may have noticed that players they manually added to the tournament software weren't being added to the tournament roster below until they refreshed the page manually. This change ensures the software refreshes automatically for you.
   
3. GG Errors: Improve Error When Adding Decimal Points In Loyalty Module
1. We’ve recently seen some admins trying to add point values with a decimal for a Points-Based Loyalty Program (which is not supported). Our handling of this error was the Whoops, we’ve experienced an error page with no details on what they did wrong. This update keeps admins on the page but tells them they aren’t allowed to add decimals.
   
2. 
   

1. Events & Targeted Push Notifications Integration (Click for more info)
1. At long last, we have added an integration between our Events module and Targeted Push Notifications by placing a Send Push Notification button at the top of the Players page of any Tournament. When clicked, you will be redirected to the Compose Push Notification page with Targeted selected and your list of emails prefilled. You can then compose the message and click Send for easy list management and communication.
   
2. 
   
3. 
   
4. 
   

1. 
   
2. IMPORTANT: Make sure to collect the emails of all your players and associate them with their profiles within the event. This can be done using any three of the setup methods:
   
1. Manual Entry: Input the email in the Email field when creating/editing a player.
   
2. Spreadsheet Upload: Input each player's email in the Email column before uploading your spreadsheet.
   
3. Online Registration: Mark email as Required in the initial settings. Users will input their email when registering and it will automatically be transferred to their profile within the event.
   
2. Support Handicap Allowance (Percentage of Handicap) In Event Leaderboards and Print Material Sections
1. After we added Handicap Allowance for Events, it was discovered the Leaderboards and some Print Materials weren’t displaying adjusted handicap. This was unhelpful as the adjusted handicap is what’s applied to player's scores, so this change makes that value visible in a variety of locations.
   
2. 
   
3. Bug: Flight - Leaderboard Logic Issues
1. About a month ago, we made a change to the Flight creation process that broke the automatic creation of Leaderboards. (It used to asked for Net or Gross in the Score Format field and the selection would be generated for that flight in Leaderboards using the default scoring format for the event.) This change brings back that field and the logic associated with it.
4. Bug: Tournament Software Event Export Adding Space Before StartHole
1. Reported by the CS team, this bug occurred for clubs that exported their event from GTW and then re-imported after making adjustments. The exported spreadsheet added a space before each start hole in the respective column, which caused the resulting import to not properly create groups in the tournament dashboard. This removes that space and makes that workflow seamless once again.
   
2. 
   
3. 
   

Update To 9.01 Required

1. Bug: Correct 9-Hole Net Tournament Scoring
1. Customers recently reported some issues with calculations for 9-hole net scoring in both the print materials and on the player/team detail pages in the Gallus Tournament Software. This update corrects all of the issues surrounding 9-hole net scoring and ensures we are using the Course Handicap field as the number of strokes the user receives in a net round, regardless of how many holes the course is.
   
2. Just to note, inputting a player's GHIN number is still the most automated way to manage handicaps for an event. That integration is smart enough to apply a 50% calculation when the selected course is 9 holes.
   

No Update Required

1. Gallus Manager + Mobile: Rename Tournaments to Events
   
1. With the upcoming additions of league support and a more robust online registration platform, we are renaming Tournaments to Events. Don't worry- our simple and intuitive Tournament Software is still in there. We're just making room for some new features.
   
2. 
2. Feature: Make Handicap Values Consistent In The System
1. This is a cosmetic update to the Tournament Software dashboard for how handicap values are displayed in dropdowns. We are essentially making sure +1 handicaps really are +1 and -1 is 1 to eliminate confusion.
   
2. 
   
3. Feature: Add What's New Button In Top-Right Of Dashboard
1. There is now a button in the top-right of every page in the Gallus Admin Dashboard with a link to this very article. This allows you to keep up with what's new all the time!
4. Bug: Unable To Delete Rounds From Tournament Create Page
   
1. After our change last week forcing admins to add at least round, we accidentally removed the ability to delete a round that had been added on the create round screen. This restores that.

Update To 8.12 Required

1. Gallus Manager + Mobile: Rename Tournaments to Events
1. With the rebrand of Tournaments to Events, we found some locations within the app that needed the labels applied accordingly. This update will include wording that is clear and understandable.
2. Bug: Scorecard Recovery Enhancements
1. Scorecard Recovery has been erroring out for app users with a large amount of rounds. This change fixes the process we were using and enables them to recover all of their rounds once again, using the email address they provided ahead of time.
   

1. Feature: Enhancement For Pop-Ups Calls To Action
   
1. After we released additional CTA options in Pop-Ups last week, we discovered additional tweaks were needed. The available options now include:
   
1. Menu is now labeled Food & Beverage.
2. The duplicate Food & Beverage item in the list was removed.
3. A new Home Screen CTA was added, which, you guessed it, directs the user to the app’s Home Screen.
   
2. 
   
2. Bug: App Navigation News Item Button Adjustments
   
1. When setting up a button in App Navigation, admins can select Go To App Page → News → [A specific News item]. We discovered it was working fine in the Side Menu but the Home Screen button directed to the main News page (with all of them in a list). This update ensures the button directs to the specific News item in both instances.
   
2. 
   
3. Bug: Updated Edit Leaderboard Functionality
   
1. When editing a Tournament Software Leaderboard, admins can remove everyone below a certain ranking (i.e., Keep everyone at 7th place and above). This page previously provided a slider that didn’t function, so this replaces that with an open text field (numbers only).

4. Bug: Updated Make A Cut Functionality For Tournaments
   
1. The Gallus Tournament Software has long allowed making cuts based off leaderboard rank or score, but the tool to select the cut line was having some trouble. We've updated this field to help making a cut in an event a seamless process.

5. Bug: Tournaments Now Require Rounds
   
1. This bug occurred when admins set up an event in the Gallus Tournament Software with no rounds. They did receive a notification that they should add at least one, BUT they could dismiss it and get away without doing so. This resulted in an empty event that wouldn't display in the Tournaments page. Tournaments now require at least one round to be inputted at the creation step.

1. FEATURE: More Call To Action's For Pop-Up's
   
1. This update brings the Action options within Pop-Up’s in line with what’s available in Push Notifications (and then some). It includes the ability to deeplink to:
   
1. Food & Beverage
   
2. Tee Times
3. Leaderboards
   
4. Custom URL
   
1. Input any URL to direct the user there when they tap the button.
5. Facebook Share
6. Offer Locker (NEW)
   
7. Loyalty Program (NEW)
   
8. Mobile Check-In [When enabled] (NEW)
   
9. News (NEW)
   
10. Settings Page (NEW)
    
1. This feature will most commonly be used to encourage users to update their Push Notification preferences. (Interests, Customer ID Fields, etc.)
   
11. Custom Button (NEW)
    
1. Choose from any page that's been created in App Navigation.
   
2. 
   
2. FEATURE: Support Percentage of Handicap (Handicap Allowance) In GTW
1. This feature allows tournament admins to cut the course handicap by a percentage in an effort to level the playing field. Admins set the percentage on the Tournament create/edit page and it will apply to all net leaderboards within the event. There is a separate setting for Teams and Individuals when both are selected.
2. Tournament Admins utilizing the GHIN integration will find this extremely helpful as they will only need to input the player’s GHIN number. We will look up the player's index, calculate course handicap, and cut it by the percentage they indicate to make the entire process automated!
3. NOTE: We will be adding adjusted handicap information for each player to print materials and leaderboards in the coming weeks.
   
4. 
   
3. BUG: Player Payment View Loading Error
1. End users for Online Registration occasionally wouldn’t see the payment summary screen after completing registration. This resolves that.
   

No Update Required

1. Bug: Generate Flight By Score Range Filter Adjustments
   
1. When generating a flight based off user scores, tournament admins previously used a slider that had the tendency to be inaccurate when using a Windows device.. This update removed the slider and added in open text fields to ensure flights generated by score are 100% accurate.
   
2. 
   

Update To 8.11 Required

1. Bug: Leaderboards Back Button Missing When Tour Is Disabled
   
1. App users that accessed the Leaderboards button from the Home Screen or Side Menu would sometimes be unable to back out of the page due to a lack of back button in the top-left. We've added that back in to ensure a great experience!

1. Enhancement for Team Name Standard Cart Sign Template
   
1. After we released the new Team Name Standard Cart Sign template last week, we discovered some tweaks needed in the helper text and to display the tee time when that Groups option was selected (shotgun has worked the whole time). This template should now work 100% of the time.
   
2. Bug: Scorecard Detail Not Displaying For Multi-Round Tournaments
   
1. Scorecards weren’t viewable in Tournament Software leaderboards if two or more rounds were set up (it always worked with singe-round events). Now when you're viewing a multi-round leaderboard, you can click the score on the right for whichever round you'd like and the full scorecard will appear.

No Update Required

• FEATURE: Allow Scores To Be Cleared In Tournament Software Scorecards Via The Admin Dashboard
  

  • This update allows tournament software admins to clear values from a player’s scorecard. (They previously couldn’t make it a null value- it could only be changed to another number.)

  • This mostly occurs on 18 or 27-hole courses that are used for 9-hole leagues when players mistakenly input scores for the wrong 9. After this fix, admins will have the power to make things right.
    

  • How it works:
    

  • On the player's page, their inputted scores are displayed. Adjust the scorecard as necessary and click Update.
    

  • 
    

  • 
    

  • A message appears letting you know the scorecard will update but you can always revert (we'll explain in a moment). Click Delete to confirm.
    

  • 
    

  • The scores have been updated! If you'd like to revert back to the player's inputted scores, click the checkbox below their scorecard, click Update, and their original scorecard will once again appear.
    

  • 
    

  • 
    

• FEATURE: Team Name Standard Cart Sign Template

  • A part of our Tournament Software version 2.0 effort, this brand new cart sign template in Tournament Print Materials for team scoring formats will be more general and not display player names. Courses looking to keep their cart signs clean without names should appreciate this new option!
    

  • How it works:
    

  • In a team scoring event, go to the Print Materials step.
    

  • 
    

  • Click Cart Signs and select Team Name Standard Display. Then click Print.
    

  • 
    

  • 
    

  • A file downloads to your computer with the cart signs displaying two per 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. They'll have the following info:
    

  • Tournament & Sponsor Logo
    

  • Course Name
    

  • Starting Hole
    

  • Team Name(s)
    

  • If there are two teams in one cart, the system will display both.

No Update Required

1. Bug: Add Offer Locker Uses When User Has 0 Remaining
1. This bug prevented app admins from adding uses to an offer that had 0 redemptions available (even if it was technically within it’s available date range). This tweak will enable admins to once again search a user, click on the offer, and add uses as long as the offer is still live.

1. For more information on Offer Locker, please view our How Offer Locker Works article.
   
2. Bug: Display Stableford Helper Text In Tournament Software
1. When creating a tournament, we have some helper text below the formats for the minimum and max values for our new Modified Stableford fields. The problem was this text displayed for all game types (including non-stableford scoring styles). This will hide that text unless Stableford is selected.
   
2. 
   

1. For more information on setting up an event in the Gallus Tournament software, please view our Creating A New Event In The Gallus Tournament Software article.
   
3. Bug: Leaderboards Project Doesn't Have Access to GTW Database
1. Changes to the Stableford scoring format resulted in users of both tournaments AND Gallus Tour leaderboards being unable to view their full scorecards. This fixed that!
   
4. Chore: Update Handicap On GTW Edit Screen To Read "Course Handicap"
1. The Handicap field in the tournament software was not specific enough- it is meant to be the fully calculated Course Handicap and not the raw Handicap Index. We’re updating this field to be more specific both in the dashboard and the spreadsheet import templates.
   
2. 
   

Update To 8.10 Required

1. Feature: UTM Content ID For Pushes vs. Message Center Links
   
1. We have added UTM code to all Push Notification links based on where the traffic came from. This will help app admins get more granular on where revenue is generated from. We’re adding utm_content as either message_center or push_notification.
   
1. For more information on using UTM's, please view this article from Google.
   
2. For more information on App Analytics, please view our How App Analytics Work article.
   
2. Enhanced Pop-Up Scheduling
   
1. This will prep apps to be able to use the new Pop-Up’s scheduling functionality, which will allow app admins to schedule Pop-Up’s to display for specific days of the week (ex. Tuesdays from 1pm-4pm).
   
2. We will fully release this feature in the coming weeks. If you'd like to be a beta course, please email us at support@gallusgolf.com.
   

1. FEATURE: When in GTW Event disable all game options and display stroke gross and net only
1. When a player is participating in a Gallus Tournament Software event, we’ll now disable the scoring styles other than stroke gross or net in the dropdown at the top of the scorecard page. Our hope is this will lead to less confusion on what’s being applied to the leaderboards.
   
2. Just to note, users will still be able to view their scores with the tournament's format through the Leaderboards button at the bottom-left of any Scorecard & GPS screen.
