2008 Overview

Summary

If you run a golf league, this is the program for you! League Manager supports any type or size league. Nine or eighteen hole leagues, individual or team leagues, (1 to 12 players per team), up to 100 teams, and up to 50 events for the season. Plus it can handle any number of leagues. The program pairs your golfers, builds the season schedule, calculates handicaps and points, and provides a wide range of reports to show standings, league results, and statistics. League Manager is extremely flexible - handicap and point calculation parameters can be customized to work the way your league plays. League Manager can even automatically post all your league's information to the web, so league members can view league information at any time from any place.

Maintain League Information

• Complete golfer/team information (name, handicap, flight, scores, points, address, email, phone, ranking, etc.)
• Any number of leagues/rosters can be created. Each league can have up to 6 divisions. A must for big leagues. Divisions can be "football" type divisions (inter-divisional play) or "baseball" type divisions (no inter-divisional play).
• Allows play from any number of courses and tees! Your league can play on any number of courses/tees in each event.
• Up to 100 "real" substitutes per league. Plus additional "ghost" substitutes can be used to handle any situation. League Manager is so flexible a golfer from one team can even substitute for a golfer on another team.
• Stores all itemized information for each event. Past events can be reviewed and changed at any time.
• Mixed (men/ladies) leagues are supported. League Manager automatically takes into account the difference in tees.
• Option to track putts, greens, fairways, earnings, prize money, or ANY info your leagues need to track.
  

Calculate League Statistics

Handicaps

• Set up your own handicapping system (any formula is possible), or use the USGA style system. No need to change how your league handicaps golfers. League Manager is flexible enough to calculate handicaps the way your league does now.
• Handicaps can be calculated to whole or decimal numbers.
• Option to "LOCK" a handicap. If for some reason you want a golfer to have a different handicap than the auto calculation would give him/her, you can type in any handicap and LOCK it for that event.
• Option to round or truncate handicaps. Example: (7.90 rounds to 8), (7.90 truncates to 7)
• Setup your own hole reduction system to calculate Adjusted Gross Scores. Set a maximum score allowed on par 3s, 4s and 5s. Or you can use the USGA ESC (Equitable Stroke Control), or no stroke control. There is also an option to use the OLD USGA ESC (Pre-1993 Equitable Stroke Control). If your league still prefers the old ESC to the new ESC, the option is there.

Points

• Option to enter scorecards. League Manager automatically calculates points, gross, net, adjusted gross, handicap, par, birdies, etc.
• Scorecards can be entered hole-by-hole or totals only.
• Set up your own system for calculating points. League Manager automatically awards points -- hole-by-hole, Medal, Match, Best Ball, Stableford, Ranking, Cross Match, Aggregate, etc. Any formula and combination of these is possible!
• Calculates total points, bogeys, pars, birdies, eagles, putts, low net, low gross, high points, best hole, skins, ringers, etc.
• Tracks totals, averages, lows and highs on any statistic you wish to track.
• Calculates total team points for the season. Breaks down regular, substitute, team, adjusted, and dropped points.
• Allows you to drop high or low score(s).
• Golfers may play: player versus player, team vs. team, against the field, against the course, or any combination of these.
• Any points a substitute wins can be awarded to the sub him/herself, or the golfer he/she is subbing for.
• Option to override points. If you have a special circumstance where you need to alter the amount of points a golfer or team receives for a certain event, you can override the points awarded at any time.

Pairings

• Automatically builds the season schedule. Pairs teams and golfers for each event. Option to customize league schedule. Options to manually pair teams and golfers. Also handles position nights, tournaments, rainouts, etc.
• The schedule sets the courses to be played for the entire season automatically. Option to manually set courses.
• Optional tee times or shot-gun start. Scheduling assures each team has a different tee-time or start hole each week. Option to display tee times/start holes on scorecards and other relevant reports.
• Course rotation option. For leagues that play front/back each week, scheduling guarantees each team will play the front/back an equal number of times.
• Cross pairing option. League Manager can automatically pair golfers across flights. For example, many leagues play A vs. A, B vs. B, etc. when two teams are matched to play. The second time the two teams are matched, League Manager can automatically pair the golfers A vs. B, B vs. A, etc. This works for 2 to 12 person teams.
• Pair opposing teams as twosomes, foursomes, sixsomes, or even eightsomes.
• Automatically flights players by handicap or points won.
• League Manager allows for any number of split seasons (1st half winner, 2nd half winner, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th quarter winner, etc.)

Put any information that you would usually print onto your own league's website. The players love it because all the league's information is accessible on the Internet. All members have online access to reports, league standings, individual standings, game results, schedules, tee times, next round info, handicapping reports, league rules & documents, photos, emails, announcements, etc. Bottom line - whatever information you wish can appear on your website.

Note: You are NOT required to be connected to the Internet to run League Manager. An Internet connection is only required for those leagues that choose to use the Website Designer option.
