Tournaments & Leagues
Meta Caddie supports two types of organized competition beyond a casual group round — Tournaments (one-off events) and Leagues (recurring seasonal competitions). Both are accessible from the Games tab → Events section.
Tournaments
A Tournament is a single organized event. Common examples include charity scrambles, club championships, member-guest tournaments, and Friday night skins games. The organizer creates the tournament in the app, sets the format and date, and shares a link or tells participants to find it in the app.
Creating a tournament
When setting up a tournament, the organizer provides:
- Name — event title (e.g. "Spring Charity Scramble 2026")
- Course — selected from the course library
- Format — Stroke Play, Best Ball, Scramble, or Stableford
- Handicap mode — gross or net scoring
- Date — the day of play
- Description — optional notes for participants
- Charity event flag — marks the event to surface it prominently in the Events section
Registering
Players find the tournament under Events → Tournaments and tap Register. For Best Ball and Scramble formats, the organizer assigns team numbers after registration closes.
On the day
Each group starts a group round as normal. Scores flow into the tournament automatically. The organizer can view standings in real time and mark the event complete once all groups have finished.
Charity events run best in Scramble format. Every player contributes, pace of play is faster, and higher-handicap players have fun. Mark the tournament as "Charity Event" to surface it prominently in the app.
Leagues
A League is a recurring weekly competition over a season. Members play weekly rounds at the same course; standings accumulate over the season based on points.
Season setup
The organizer configures:
- Season year and name — e.g. "Spring 2026"
- Format — Stroke Play or Stableford
- Handicap mode — gross or net
- Members — invited by search or share link
Weekly play
Each week, members play a group round. The round gets linked to the league automatically. Points are recorded and standings update after every round.
Standings
The league leaderboard shows rank, rounds played, and total points for every member. Your handicap is stored per-league so you compete net even if your app handicap changes between weeks.
Finding events
Events are in the Games tab → Events section. Tournaments show upcoming events sorted by date. Leagues show your active leagues and any leagues you organize.
Currently, tournaments and leagues are discoverable by anyone with the app. Course-level filtering — find events at a specific course — is coming in a future update.
