Parful Events
How scores get from the course to the board
Live scoring in Parful Events is one scorer per group entering the card in a phone browser, opened with a short code, QR code or link, with no app and no account. The format decides what the card takes, paper scorecards are entered at the card desk after the round, and the organizer’s scoring view shows which groups are posting and which have stalled. Where the scores go is covered on the leaderboard page.
One scorer per group, one short code
Each group gets its own short scoring code, alongside QR and direct-link access. The scorer opens the link in their phone browser, enters the code, and is on their group’s card. There is no app to install and no account to create, which matters at a charity event where most of the field has never heard of Parful and never needs to.
The format decides the card
A scramble card takes one team score per hole. Stroke play and Stableford take per-player scores, and gross and net resolve from the same entries. Match play stages record match results. The scorer never chooses what kind of number to type; the event’s format already decided, and contests like closest to the pin and longest drive are recorded alongside the main card.
The card desk, because paper always shows up
Some groups will score on paper no matter what the welcome email said. The card desk is built for entering finished paper scorecards after the round: the same validation, the same results, the same leaderboard. A field that was half phones and half pencils still produces one complete final board.
The operations view keeps the round moving
The organizer’s scoring view shows the state of the field group by group: who is posting, who has stalled, and, on a shotgun start, which starting holes those groups came from. That is the difference between wondering why the board looks thin and knowing that the group that started on 14 has not posted since the turn.
