What's The Point?

The Gallus Golf Tournament Software is designed to provide a best-in-class experience for the users of an app by providing live scoring and a suite of reporting for the organizers running the event. It is designed to be an all-encompassing tournament management platform that simplifies the experience for users and the facility alike.

This article will outline the Gallus Tournament Software solution in its most basic form and will link out to sub-articles on the finer details.
