A leaderboard the committee can publish without checking twice

There are two leaderboards, and confusing them is how clubs publish results they later have to correct. One is for the person running the competition. The other is for everybody else, and it does not exist until somebody says so.

The organiser's board

Updates as cards are checked, and shows what is still outstanding: which fourballs are in, which are still reading, which are waiting on a person. It is a work-in-progress view, and it is only visible to signed-in staff.

The published result

Comes into existence when an admin publishes it, and not before. Until that moment there is no public page, no link that works, and nothing reachable from the internet.

Why a partial leaderboard is not published automatically.

A board that goes public the moment the first card is read will show a member sitting last with three holes missing, and somebody will photograph it. The published result is a deliberate act by a person with the authority to make it, which is also why the person who checked the cards cannot be the one who publishes them unless they are an admin.

What gets published

The result, and how it is ranked

Every published board is ranked by the engine, with countback applied and ties marked.

Two results are level on points. Countback has separated them on the back nine, and the ranks are marked so nobody has to wonder why.

What changes with the club

  • Colours and badgeApplied across scoring, results and the home-screen icon.
  • The addressscoring.rooiberggolf.co.za rather than a supplier's domain.
  • What members doNothing. It is still a link, and still needs no account.

Two invented clubs, and the default.

What a member opens

A link, and the result. That is the whole interaction.

No account. No app. No password. No second handicap identity. A member taps a link in a WhatsApp group and sees where they came, including the guest who has never heard of your club.

If they want it on their home screen they can add it, and it opens full screen like an app. That is their choice, and nothing is withheld from the people who do not.

Privacy

Published does not mean public to search engines

There is a difference between a result anyone with the link can open and a result that turns up when somebody searches a member's name.

Result pages are noindex

Published results are explicitly excluded from search indexing. A member's score is findable by people you sent the link to, and by nobody else.

Unpublished is unreachable

Before publication there is no public page at all — not by link, not by guessing an address.

No scorecard images in public

The published result carries names and scores. The photograph of the card, with its signatures, stays in private storage reachable only by your staff.

Questions

About results and who sees them

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.

Do golfers need to install an app?

No. That is a deliberate design decision, not a limitation. A player opens a link in their browser and sees the result. No account, no download, no password.

If someone wants it on their home screen they can add it, and it opens full screen like an app. That is their choice, not a requirement, and nothing is withheld from people who do not.

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 we share the result as a QR code?

A printed QR code for the bar, the tee box or the prize table is set up for your club during implementation.

Sharing the result link is available today from any phone, using the device's own share sheet, and works with WhatsApp, email or anything else on the phone.
