Scoring a Round

Hole-by-hole input, the live leaderboard, running +/− from par, and what happens when the round ends.

Docs / Scoring a Round

Entering scores

The scoring screen shows the current hole number and par. Tap + or to set your score, then confirm. The app advances automatically.

In group rounds, the host scores each player in turn order on one device. The active player is highlighted on the scorecard.

The live leaderboard

After every hole, the leaderboard recalculates. Every entry — you, your friends, and all ghost pros — is ranked by running +/− from par.

Three ghost layers on the leaderboard:

Pro ghosts
Cream rows. The full PDGA-rated field.
Your PB
Gold row — YOUR BEST. Your previous best round, hole by hole.
Friend ghost
Cyan row. Your chosen friend's best round at this course. Toggle on/off during card setup.

GC Rating

After every round, Ghost Card shows your field position — where you finished relative to the 134-pro ghost field, expressed as TOP X% OF FIELD.

Finish in the top 10% and you're running with the elite. Top 50% means you're in the upper half of a field of rated pros. Not a handicap — a mirror. Where you actually landed this round.

Round Complete

Finish the last hole and tap Complete Round. You see:

Tap Save Round on the results screen to add it to Round History. Rounds are not saved automatically — if you close the app without saving, the round won't appear in your history.
