Keep members and players engaged after their round to celebrate the winners by promptly presenting the comp results as soon and as accurately as possible after play.
By refining and preparing a well-documented process for your club, competition results can be ready online and for the presentation to start about 20 minutes after last score has been submitted.
Ultimately be prepared and refine these steps and eliminate any old manual paper-based processes as suggested below. Please do make contact with the MiClub Help Desk and engage one of our help and/or product specialists to assist. We are always happy to help.
- Leaderboard - Be a leaderboard watcher and review scores regularly on comp leaderboard and find those missing scores from any players. Players do like to enjoy a drink after their round and they may have forgotten to submit scores on their phone or hand-in the scorecard
- Prizes - Use a prize template and configure winner and placegetters for field size. Only should need to enter the novelty prize winner names if well prepared
- Handicap Upload - Scores are ready for Upload. Don't get stuck if there's one score that won't upload, remove from the upload and then follow-up later.
- Comp Closing - Go through your checklist and produce required reports.
- Eclectic - Ensure competition is included in any Eclectics as it updates immediately when competition is CLOSED status
- Order of Merit - Allocate points for this competition
- Multi-Round - If part of a tournament link today's comp to the correct round
Remember results and leaderboards are the most viewed pages on the club web site. Members are your best cross-checkers and will be quick to help fix any errors in the scores and prizes.
