Joining a round
Why can't I pick my name?
There is no list of names: you join as yourself. Type your name and tap "Join the round", and the host places you. If the page says the host isn't adding new players from this link, ask your host for a spot.
The page says the host is holding my spot.
The host is holding your spot in this round, for example after you handed it to them, and keeps score for you. You can still watch the leaderboard.
I joined, but I don't see my scorecard yet.
The host can place you in the game. The page moves on to your scorecard by itself once they do; tap "Watch the leaderboard" to follow along meanwhile. If the host removes you, the page says so, and only the host can add you back.
Can I just watch?
Yes. The host taps "Share the live board" in the host tools and sends you the link. Anyone with it can follow the leaderboard with no sign-in. It shows standings and names only, never handicaps or notes.
The page says the host is still setting up.
The round opens when the host taps "Start the round", or "Save the round" for another day. A league, trip or outing round opens once its organizer has set its game. Keep the link; it works from then on.
What does "I have a host code" do?
A host under 18 can't run a trip, league, outing or club event round, so their round shows them a host code instead. They give it to an adult in the round, who enters it here to take over hosting. Each code works once.
