Type sized to the distance
Names and points set large enough to read from the far end of the bar, which means fewer rows per screen and therefore paging rather than scrolling.
The board on the clubhouse screen
Half the people who care about the result are standing in the clubhouse with a drink, not looking at a phone. A screen they can read from across the room is worth more to them than a link.
What this page is describing.
The demo below is a working, synthetic preview. The clubhouse presentation is configured for your club under the Club Platform implementation package — sized to your screens and your field — rather than switched on in a standard account. Publishing a result and sharing it works today; see leaderboards and results.

The board, and the sponsor card between pages
It pages on its own. Nobody is standing at a laptop pressing a key.

Sized to be read across a room. Pages on its own, with nobody minding it.
Invented club, invented sponsor, invented players. It advances by itself, and the tabs override it.
Designed for the room
A screen across a room is not a page on a desk
Everything about this is different from the phone version, and that is the point of configuring it rather than mirroring a browser tab.
Paging, not scrolling
A field of eighty does not fit on one screen at readable size, so the board advances through the field on a timer. Somebody watching from the bar sees their name come round without asking anyone.
No cursor, no chrome, no notifications
It runs full screen with nothing to click. A stray mouse pointer parked in the middle of a leaderboard is the standard failure of doing this with a browser tab.
The sponsor gets the gap
Between pages the screen shows the sponsor card, so the sponsor is in front of the room repeatedly through the afternoon rather than once at prize giving.
The practical bit
What it runs on
Usually less than clubs expect.
Any screen that can open a web browser. In practice that is the TV already mounted in the clubhouse, driven by whatever is behind it: a smart TV's own browser, a cheap streaming stick, or the laptop that already lives under the bar.
There is no dedicated hardware to buy from us and nothing to install. During implementation we set it up on your screens, at your field sizes, and leave you with a runbook so the person opening up on Saturday can start it without calling anyone.
What it needs: a screen, a browser, and a network connection. What it does not need is somebody minding it.

Questions
About the clubhouse screen
Can we show the leaderboard on the screen in the clubhouse?
Yes, and it is set up for your club as part of an implementation. The clubhouse presentation is a full-screen board sized to be read across a room, paging through a large field on its own with no cursor and nobody minding it.
It is configured to your screens and your field sizes during implementation rather than being a switch in a standard account.
Can the results carry our club's branding?
Yes, as implementation work. Your club's colours, logo and icons are applied across the scoring and results experience, including the home-screen app, so what a member opens looks like your club rather than like a supplier.
This is configured for your club under the Branded Club or Club Platform implementation packages. It is not switched on in a standard account.
Can we put sponsors on the results?
Yes, configured for your club during implementation. Sponsor branding can appear on the result page players open, between pages on the clubhouse screen, and on the prize-giving slides.
Sponsor links carry the appropriate rel attributes, so a paid placement never quietly passes search authority.
Who can see the results?
Whoever you share the link with. A competition is only publicly readable once someone with admin rights publishes it; until then it is not reachable from the internet at all.
Published result pages are set not to be indexed by search engines, so a member's name and score do not turn up in a web search for them.
