Data from an online registration form created using GolfSoftware's Website Builder registration feature can be imported with a few clicks of the mouse into Tournament Manager.

When importing, if you already have names in the Tournament Manager Roster into which you are importing, the program will first attempt to match people by looking for a matching player ID number. If a number is not available, then the program will attempt a match with the first and last name (Jim and James or Dick and Richard may be the same person to us humans, but to the computer it is not a match even with the same last name). If you are importing the data into an empty Roster which you have just created in Tournament Manager, then no matching is necessary.

If the data you are importing is from another program - not from an online registration form created using GolfSoftware's Website Builder registration feature - please see Importing data from other software.

7. Tournament Manager will attempt to guess what the content of each column of data is and assign the correct field name such as Last name or Date of Score. Some columns, like column 1 above, will have "None" for field name. If that is a field you want to import - Tournament Manager will not import data identified as "None" - select the proper identifying name from the drop down menu for that column of data. You need to verify the field name pre-identified by the program to make sure it is correct. Once all of the fields you want to import are properly identified and all of the fields you do not want to import have "None" as the column header, then you may click on the Finish button.
   
   
8. When the importing is complete, you will see something like the below image.
