Tournament setup with Multi-Day enabled and 2/3/4 day picker

Step 1 of 6

Enable Multi-Day

In the tournament setup basics screen, toggle Multi-Day on. Pick how many days: 2, 3 or 4. Each day gets its own tab in the setup flow.

Multi-Day works with Standard, Pairs and Tour Cup tournaments. The day structure sits on top of the format, so a Tour Cup can run Best Ball on day 1 and Singles on day 3.

Planning tip: Set the number of days upfront — it determines how many per-day configuration tabs appear. You can always adjust before the tournament starts.

Set Up Day 2 — Keep Day 1 or Auto by Standings group regrouping

Step 2 of 6

Configure Each Day

Tap each day tab to set the course, tee, and groups for that day. Different course on Day 2? No problem — just swap it in.

Before each new day the host chooses Keep Day 1 groups or Auto by Standings, which regroups the field by the leaderboard. Phones follow their player to the new foursome automatically.

Handicaps: Course handicaps recalculate automatically when the course changes between days. Each day uses the right strokes for that specific layout.

Set Per-Day Games

Some games run day by day: Skins is its own pot each day, and daily prizes pay low net or low gross for a single day, for that day's teams or for individuals.

Tournament-level games — Calcutta, Low Net, Low Gross — run across the whole event and use cumulative scoring from all days.

Common setup: Skins each day (paid out daily), Low Net over the full tournament (paid out at the end). Clean separation of daily action and overall competition.

Step 4 of 6

Run a Calcutta Across the Event

A Calcutta covers the whole tournament. Set the lines or hold the auction in the Lobby, then lock it so nobody can change the buyers once play starts.

It pays out on the final cumulative standings, so a strong Day 1 makes a player's line the one to watch all weekend.

Paying a banker up front? Switch the Settlement card to Banker pays out. It shows exactly what to hand each player and holds later days' buy-ins until those days are played.

Set Up the Next Day

When a day is finished, the host taps Set Up Day 2 in the Tournament Lobby to pick the course, tees and groups. Scores carry over automatically — the cumulative leaderboard on the Board tab updates to show total-to-par across all completed days.

Nobody has to re-join: each phone follows its player into the new day and the new foursome. Players can update their GHIN index before a later day starts.

Day tabs: The Board tab shows a day selector — tap Day 1 or Day 2 to see per-day standings, or view the cumulative total. Both are always accessible.

Overall leaderboard tab — cumulative across all days

Step 6 of 6

Final Payouts

When the last group finishes the last day, the tournament wraps up automatically. The Settle Up sheet shows every payout in one place: daily skins, per-day game results, Calcutta pool distribution, and overall Low Net / Low Gross.

No spreadsheet needed. The app adds it all up — who owes who, and how much. No more IOUs at the 19th hole.

History: Multi-day tournaments are archived with full per-day breakdowns. You can pull up the recap two years later and see who blew the lead on the back nine of Day 1.

Golf Trips Done Right

Multi-day tournaments work best when the logistics don't get in the way of the competition. Settle Up Golf keeps cumulative scores, per-day games, and the overall leaderboard all in sync automatically — so you can focus on the round, not the spreadsheet.

Whether it's a 2-day buddy trip to a resort or a 3-day club event with morning and afternoon flights, the multi-day structure adapts. Change courses between days, reshuffle groups, add a Calcutta mid-event — the app handles it.

Each day can be played at a different course. The per-day course picker in step 1 handles the setup, and the app recalculates handicaps against whichever slope and course rating apply to that day.

New in v2.9

Skins are a pot per day, and each day’s tab scores that day’s skins on that day’s course. Daily prizes pay low net or low gross for a single day. Type a total pot instead of a per-player amount and everyone antes the same share.

Before each new day, update handicap indexes from GHIN in Set Up Day N, and in a Tour Cup, change the matchups with Edit Matchups. Phones follow each player to their new foursome automatically.

Paying a banker up front? Banker pays out on the Settlement card shows what to hand each player, holding later days’ money until they’re played.
