Local Contest allows you to setup your contest to operate within the following options:

  • Create either a CLOSEST TO THE PIN or LONG DRIVE Contest
  • Name the Contest with a Unique Title so as to not be confused with other contests on your system. 
  • You can create a local contest with a start date/time and end date/time to allow the same contest to be found and used on your computer over the course of a few hours or a few days. To Edit these options select the pencil icon next to START DATE or END DATE. 
  • Limit the number of shots allowed for each user. 
  • Set a specific shot distance from the pin (Closet to the Pin Only)
  • Set the contest to disqualify shots
  • Set your Contest Location and Hole if desired. To edit the Location select the pencil icon noted just next to the Location option. 

 

4. Once the contest is created you will be able to locate it and join from the Contest List as shown below:

5. Once you have joined the contest you can add players using the on screen menu options in the upper left corner:

6. As players rank they will be added to the leader board. Note: Only the top contestants will be displayed here. The local contest does not keep a running total of all participants or allow exporting of the total ranking, only the leaders are displayed here in the software.
