League Settings is where a commish or admin controls the league's identity and behavior — the logo, the public-page join passcode, Bot Coverage, and the points weights behind the Standings page. Only a commish or admin can change league settings; players and guests can view standings but not configure anything.
Who can change league settings?
Only a commish or admin can open and edit League Settings. The commish is the league owner; admins share management duties. Players and guests never see the settings surface.
How do I set a league logo?
To set a logo, open League Settings and use the Logo section: pick one of ten built-in golf-themed icons, or upload your own image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP) and crop it into a circle. The logo appears on your league list card, the league header, and your public league page. If no logo is set, the league's first initial renders in a colored circle instead. "Clear logo" removes a logo and returns to the initial fallback.
What is the join passcode?
The join passcode is a shareable word that unlocks self-service joining from your public league page. Set or clear it in League Settings, in the Public page section — only a commish or admin can do this. For how the passcode changes your public page and how visitors join through it, see Your public league page and join passcode.
What is Bot Coverage and the tone dial?
Bot Coverage is an AI-written post-round recap of each round, and the tone dial in League Settings controls whether it runs and how it sounds. The dial goes from 0 to 5:
- 0 — off. No AI recap is generated. This is the default for new leagues; Bot Coverage stays off until a commish or admin turns it on.
- 1–5 — on, with increasing edge. 1 reads like a formal Sunday-broadcast recap; 3 is a looser golf-media voice; 5 is unfiltered.
The dial only affects the AI recap. Live score updates, player chat, and photo uploads all work regardless of the tone setting.
What does the Standings page show?
The Standings page answers "who's winning the season" across four tabs: Overall (the season points race), Categories (per-game leaderboards), Performance (skill boards like par-type scoring averages), and Achievements (the badge wall). The points race and leaderboards cover one season at a time — a season is the calendar year, and a selector switches years. Only completed events count toward standings.
How does the Overall points race work?
The Overall tab ranks every player by season points earned from three sources: finish points (your net placement in each event — winning earns the full amount, lower finishes earn proportionally less), game-win points (a flat award for each game you win outright, with skins counted per skin won at a smaller value), and participation points (a smaller award for each event you play). The top three get a podium, and tapping any player's row expands a breakdown showing exactly how their total splits across the three sources. Players tied on net score in an event split the points their tied positions would have earned.
What are the Categories boards?
The Categories tab shows per-format leaderboards for the season: Skins Champ (total skins won — a count, no dollar amounts), a Match Play record board (wins–losses–halves), separate win-count boards for Stroke Play, Stableford, and Nassau (a Nassau sweep counts as three wins — front, back, and overall), and Iron Streak (consecutive events played). Team formats like Scramble and Alternate Shot don't appear on these boards because the win belongs to a team, not an individual.
What are the Performance boards and their qualifiers?
The Performance tab ranks players on skill averages, and every board applies a minimum-rounds qualifier so a one-round hot streak can't top a leaderboard. Par 3 Hero, Par 4 Hero, and Par 5 Hero (average strokes versus par by hole type) are always available. Boards that depend on tracked stats — such as Best Putter, Strokes Gained Tee-to-Green, and 3-Putt Avoidance — appear locked until your league enables the relevant tracking (for example the putts dot) on its events. The qualifier is relative to the season: by default a player must have played at least 60% of the rounds where that stat was tracked, so a 4-round trip qualifies players at 3 rounds while a 20-round season requires 12. Count-based boards (Overall points, Skins Champ, format wins, Achievements) have no qualifier and populate from the first completed round.
What are Achievements?
The Achievements tab is a badge wall of every earned recognition in the league — badges like hole-in-one, perfect round (net par or better), hat trick (three or more skins in one event), clean sweep, first skin, and most improved — plus a leaderboard ranking players by badges earned. Badges are awarded automatically when events complete.
How do I change the points weights?
Only a commish or admin can change the points weights, in the Standings points section of League Settings. Five values are configurable: finish points, game-win points, points per skin, participation points, and the Performance qualifier percentage. The defaults are 50 / 15 / 3 / 10 / 60%. Setting a weight to 0 is allowed and removes that source from the race entirely — for example, a league that wants a pure finish-based race can set game-win and participation points to 0. Changing weights recomputes the standings with the new values.
