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. Set the number of days — 2, 3, or more. Each day gets its own tab in the setup flow.

Multi-Day works with any tournament format: Standard, Scramble, Pairs, or Tour Cup. The day structure is layered on top, not a separate mode.

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.

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.

You can change group compositions between days, which is common for buddy trips: same players, different pairings each morning.

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

Each day supports its own set of games — Skins, Nassau, Group v. Group, or any combination. Day-level games reset when the day ends and pay out independently.

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.

Seed Calcutta from Day 1

If your tournament has a Calcutta, you can seed line assignments from Day 1 results. After Day 1 scores are in, open the Calcutta config and tap Seed from Day 1.

The app ranks players or pairs by Day 1 performance and suggests balanced line assignments for the pool. Review, adjust if needed, then lock — lines are set before Day 2 begins.

Why seed from Day 1? It creates natural drama — the leader going into Day 2 is on the "hot" line, and everyone knows it. Lines feel earned, not arbitrary.

Step 5 of 6

Advance Days

Once every group finishes a day, tap Advance to Day 2 from the Tournament Lobby. Scores carry over automatically — the cumulative leaderboard on the Board tab updates to show total-to-par across all completed days.

Players join Day 2 the same way they joined Day 1 — with the tournament share code. Their scores pick up right where they left off.

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

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.

As of v1.8, 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. Want to go deeper?
