Below is a breakdown of key settings and how they impact live scoring functionality.

Understanding BlueGolf 360 Live Scoring Settings

All live scoring settings can be accessed within the Scoring tab under the Mobile section. Below is an explanation of each setting and how it impacts live scoring functionality:

• Allowed – Check "Allowed" to enable live scoring for the tournament.

• Allow X-Score Entry – Enables players to enter an "X" (or most likely score) for holes they pick up, providing more flexibility in scoring.

• Send Check-In Code – Allows administrators to send a check-in code to players via text message.

• Check Out Players – This feature allows administrators to check players out of a round, useful for multi-day tournaments.

• Check-in Window – Gives administrators control over the check-in window, allowing them to define whether players can check in on the day of or the day before the tournament.

• Check-In Method – Specifies how players can check into their digital scorecards, either by Member Login or Check-in Code.

• Check-In All Rounds – Enables administrators to check players in for all rounds of a multi-round tournament or 36-hole same-day event.

These settings provide flexibility and control to tournament organizers, ensuring that live scoring runs smoothly and efficiently.
